Serious Hits... Live - Phil Collins

Advantages: A perfect performance
Disadvantages: Hard to find.

Introduction. When I first saw Phil Collins performing on television with Genesis, I thought, who could be this balding guy who seems to have captured everyone’s heart with his songs. It did not take me long to discover why. This artist has dominated the music industry for so many years, that he is a legend in his own time. Born in Chiswick, London on the 3Oth of January 1951, he was given his first set of drums at the age of five and since then ...
...was to influence his early career, when he joined several bands such as the Freeholders, and performed as many gigs as possible to make a name for himself. He was to play with many bands until he found a struggling band called Genesis in 1970 and joined then as a drummer. At that time. Peter Gabriel was the vocalist but when he left to go solo in 1975, Phil became the vocalist for the band, something he had not bargained for. Over the next few ... Read review

Advantages: Live album makes for great atmosphere
Disadvantages: Seperate Lives sucks

...from live performances from this Serious Hits Live tour as opposed to an album produced in a studio. The song range is massive with all of his hits and the one-offs like Groovy Kind of Love and Against All Odds. All of the songs on this album are great. The most popular tracks taken from all of his previous albums. These include the likes of Easy Lover (with Phil Bailey from Earth, Wind and Fire), Take Me Home, Sussudio, Don't Lose My Number, Who ...
...and In The Air Tonight. The live aspect of the album helps to create a little more atmosphere than the studio albums and you'll find yourself never getting bored of it! The only problem arrises with a couple of the special tracks, the ones that have never been on an album. The least favourite for me is Seperate Lives... ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nothing

...out and brought Phil Collins Serious Hit's on cd and although im not a huge fan I do like this album very much and I have so far listened to it nearly every single day. *The cover* The front cover shows a large paracel into front of a crowd which I assume has been taking at one of Phil Collin's shows. His name is positioned at the top of the cd in black and below is more larger writing in black and it say's Serious Hit's live. With red horses around ...

Advantages: All of Phil's classics at their best LIVE!
Disadvantages: Difficult to obtain.

Well when I say rocks i mean he ambles gently along. This is Phil Collins performing songs as they were meant to be Live and stripped of studio polish. On this album Phil gets back to his roots and performs all of his hits in his own soulful fashion. Although his poppy hits such as "Something happened on the way to heaven" and "Can't hurry love" are obviously classics and deserve to be here it is on lesser known tracks like "Take me Home" and "In ...
...off by everybody the majority of whom own at least one album the man is a genius and illustrates this track after track. You can feel the atmosphere of an obviously enraptured crowd and almost give the man an ovation yourself when the CD finishes.I must have even for those with other greatest hits albums. You ain't heard Phil till you hear him like this. ... Read review
