Wow, thanks for posting this, no idea where you got it but thanks. It’s just so clear it could’ve been filmed yesterday

It is certain great quality, 1080p50HD upgraded i believe. :-)

Phil Collins singing Afterglow is simply the most beautiful prog moment in my life.

[@pcreplayerpcreplayer3780]

So underrated like singer…voice like Few

[@davebellamy4867]

Yes indeed.

[@davebellamy4867]

This blows away the Afterglows on all the official videos. You seen the 1978 8mm footage from Columbus Ohio? Mellotron city! Awesome.

Afterglow ain't prog. You'd struggle to drop it into suppers ready.

I don't want to work, I just want to hear Phil bang his drum all day

[@Gylfi465]

I was watching a Brand-X live video earlier. Phil the drummer........

[@mzdfzk]

All of Phil's vocals for Mama live was outrageously amazing, but this... This was a whole other level. He's absolutely and most definitely awesome

[@thatPG23]

💯% Those vocals and range on mama were incredibly massive! Blew me away completely.

[@bazbarrett8103]

Fantastic live singer and band.

[@misterghee1]

Haha I agreeeee✌️😎✌️

[@davebellamy4867]

Phil's vocals in 1986-7 were a pleasant surprise for me. He was right on it.

[@willyc.8141]

Try to listen his Mama rendition in Philadelphia 1983, Rosemont 1983, Inglewood 1984 (LA)

[@srappose1]

In my opinion this is one of their most beautiful performance I've ever heard...I am still shocked...and crying...Genesis, thank you again to exist, you are a blessing from heaven!

[@debbiekelley7899]

These are the type of things they should have released on the cd/dvd box sets from the mid 2000's, so thanks for doing it 😀 👍

Absolut scandal the old tracks were left off.

[@MagratheaLegend]

Absolutely.

[@chwthomas09]

@@davebellamy4867 the only songs played on this tour from the PG era are "In The Cage" (in this recording) and part 2 of "Supper's Ready" (replaced with Afterglow) the only 70's song played by Genesis here not included (mainly bc it wasn't performed here) is "Your Own Special Way)

[@johnstory4571]

Everything that you said in this comment 2 years ago is all 💯 truth. When the Genesis Box set of Live Albums was released with Cds and DVDs, having only Audio Music in the DVD section was such a waste of space. More film footage such as this, should have been included. Sad to say, there was never a live Album that was made, to promote the Invisible Touch Tour. However, everything that you said in your comment is the truth.

[@stephenbarrette610]

Such a great performance. Phil, Tony and Mike are masters of their craft - (as well as Peter, Steve and Anthony.) Daryll and Chester are also brilliant. Thanks for posting this - (Genesis fan for the last 50 odd years!)

[@tonymain341]

Genesis fan forever, since 1974, such a great band, never tire of any era of their music.😎👍

[@andrewklosowski2159]

Finally, I've found the best footage of the In The Cage medley from '87 I've ever seen.

[@gavincritchley404]

Yes it was surprisingly good, even if Collins didn't hit ALL the notes.

[@Chenn76]

I'm careful of saying best this best that....But when it comes to this band. Best live band springs to mind. They earned it!

[@misterghee1]

Chester's snare drummmmsometimes ehhj aokay

[@kevinmullin9680]

By a wide margin. I saw them at the Forum 1976 Seconds Our tour. The tambourine part with Collins was fabulous. Best concert I have ever been too.

[@RobertSimpson-wp3pr]

Puts me in tears, never to be seen again, they poured themselves out for every show. True professionals.

[@pallina70able]

It's kind of weird to see the band without their fantastic vari-lites sistem...but is really fantastic how to be the power the music itself to ricreate the magic...thanks forever to Claud Nobs....

[@gergoszabo4435]

The varilite is actually there, here, too.

[@polishrocker93]

In abacab, when the lights turn from blue to red (7:48) that is the varilite “sistem.” Shame that 40 people fell for your misinformation.

[@ilightit]

The famous "in the cage" cue is still there in modified form, as is the Afterglow purple, and others. Given the size of the stage and the hight of the set they gave it their best shot. Alan Owen gets the lighting credit on that so that's why much of it looks familiar - isn't he the "Dr Owen" who was on the board for the Invisible Touch tour which they were in the middle of?

[@dana_brooke_27]

Started getting really great when they got up to In The Cage. I love 70's Genesis. Mike Rutherford doesn't get the credit he deserves from the music industry. This was great...Afterglow always pulls at the heartstrings. Another Great song by Tony Banks.

[@misterghee1]

And there small creeps day by Mike what an ambiance👍😏👍

[@gerardvivanco5337]

"In That Quiet Earth" with beautiful, THUNDEROUS drumming! Chester and Phil.............the ultimate drumming duo!

[@semanj]

Phil and Chester nailing that Zappa fill together @38:56 at the end of Afterglow is always a great moment. It’s also on Seconds Out. When Phil was looking for a drummer who could play well with two drummers he heard Chester play that fill with Ralph Humphries on Zappa’s “More Trouble Every Day” on the Roxy & Elsewhere LP. They put it in the show as tribute.

[@FukiMakai]

They did that live on every concert and tour. Don't know the original but i'm so used to it and I love it.

[@FukiMakai]

Thanks for the interesting data about it

[@craigchapman8220]

Best drumming duo ever!

[@mrmarshmadness1]

Chester gave an interview some time ago about how he joined Genesis - no audition, Phil just liked his playing and invited him to join - but on the condition that they included "that" fill at every live performance. :-) Talk about a match made in heaven!

[@stevec7028]

THIS IS PERFECT MUSIC HISTORY !! A PERFECT BAND THAT HAD A SINGER THAT HAD THE X FACTOR SO BIG HE MADE THE BAND MORE THAN WAS THOUGHT POSSIBLE !!!

[@MartinKelly88Music]

Of all the recordings of the Invisible Touch Tour I've heard, this is by far the best one. Absolutely smoking hot.

[@GenesisMuseum]

agreed!

[@koopalovetoast2409]

That "getting" at 2:31 is the craziest thing in this whole performance imo.. Just listen to that. It's goosebumps, it's amazing.

[@chrisway8232]

Great to see a fit and healthy Phil Collins in superb vocal form, top of his game here really..band on top form too, intimate staging and the sounds amazing...much gratitude for posting...really enjoyed it....makes up for the truly appalling recent final ever shows, absolutely heartbreaking to watch Phil now compared to stuff like this....

[@Rondo2ooo]

Yes, indeed, I concur. And then there's 35 years between this and now. Health issues impact some people more severely.

[@MarcLuber]

So great. Thanks for sharing. I so badly wish Phil could still drum and could still sing with this level of strength and passion.

[@GenesisMuseum]

35 years later...few drummers can

[@greg-warsaw4708]

Of course we'd all like like. But think about different areas: the level of tennis matches that McEnroe sometimes plays with Borg these days, for charity. The lap times Jackie Stewart or Jacky Ickx achieve as they appear on racing tracks during revival events. Or vocal quality Placido Domingo can muster now compared to his 70s opera recordings. Time doesn't stand still and waits for no one....

[@AntonioOliveira-yl2nj]

A melhor banda de rock dos últimos tempos. Dos melhores instrumentistas que já ouvi 😁

Love to hear Phil trying his hand at French. Mike's solo on ABACAB is stellar! Glad to have found this recording. Thanks.

[@greg-warsaw4708]

Friendly uncle Fish, in his own right a great rock personality, once said, many years ago: don't underestimate Abacab. Performed live it was really fabulous. And he was perfectly right.

[@andrerenault]

The soundboard/audience recording from Montréal in 1980 is great if you want to hear Phil trying to speak French.

[@rk41gator]

@@andrerenault Merci. But my abilities in French would be lost, even with Phil.

[@russelldolter]

When the Wembley show came out in 88 on vhs, I was disappointed that the In The Cage medley was absent but to see it here is stellar!

[@MagratheaLegend]

In the cage medley 87 Germany also here mate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaTOY3SCncubnrM

[@mike9086]

I read somewhere that In The Cage was not recorded on video as the engineers was changing the tapes over at the time? Sacrilege though.

[@TheAmarok87]

@@mike9086 The Wembley shows were recorded with an early analogue HD video system (Sony HDVS) - you didn't just have to change the 60-minute cassettes, you also had to rewind them beforehand. That's why it took so long. Genesis then decided on the medley because they thought nobody needed it anyway, because it was already on the "Three Sides Live" and "Mama Tour" videos. The BBC radio show of 7/4/1987 at least contains the Cage medley.

[@jkorshak]

This is a really special recording - especially for the smaller venue "feel" for the era. The Steve Hackett era is my favorite run of albums and I really liked "In the Cage," Rutherford really killing it on the bass. Fantastic upload - thanks!

[@antster1983]

One of the few concessions on the Invisible Touch Tour where they had to bring a minimal Vari-Lite rig and dig the PARs out of retirement one more time.

[@johnbeagley1195]

Brilliant vocals. He really had it all!

[@davidtaylorbfd]

This is stunning, just stunning.

[@jonasmeier417]

Can it be better than this? No. Genesis as a band: Extremely tight. Phil Collins: Very awesome vocals with passion and heart. "The Genesis Museum" (see in the description): What fantastic audio and video! Genesis, Phil & Museum, thank you, this was really great! Other videos here on KZbin from this Montreux 1987 gig: "Throwing all away" & "Invisible Touch". They hated Phil Collins for his overpresence and being everywhere in the 1980-ies. But this was hard work and such outstanding performances. Where are bands and singers like these today?

[@timmurray6980]

Just watched this for the first time. Thanks so much for the upload. By this point, the three-piece plus Chester and Daryl were really rocking it tight. Phil's voice was still close to its peak, which in my opinion came the album before this. Great video quality here. It's a live gig so I won't pass judgement on the audio mix. Overall top notch!

I will never forget the atmosphere just before the concert sitting on the football ground meeting so many fans like us. We were just 20 so were really excited to see them though we were more fond of Gabriel era, more than 10 years ago.

[@thefool2007]

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for another ‘87 performance. This scratched the itch quite nicely. Phil’s vocals are among the best I’ve ever heard in a singer. And his heart is so into it. Makes me want to cry that he is not able to soar like this anymore. Superb band and seriously talented performers. This level is more than your money’s worth.

[@Bryan8329]

The thing I really liked about this period is that you quite clearly get the feeling Phil literally let his hair down on those last two Genesis tours. Here his long glorious mane, compared to the more slick appearance when he did the But Seriously videos and tour, and then in 92 on the WCD tour he’s dressing more casual.

[@davebellamy4867]

See it's strange but at Wembley 87 I didn't expect Phil's vocals to be so good. I think that night, he was the best since 1978. Long hair = good voice, stubble essential, beard the icing on the cake.🤣

Didn't they actually start their own video production company? Which also does the DVD's and blu-rays of the Festival? On a side note, I really am curious what the backstory is of this concert. This looks like a smaller venue than the one I know from the Jazz Festival dvd's. Kinda surprised they were able to set up all the stage gear and even got some varilites in.
