Hearing Phil play the drums for the old Genesis songs is truly magical. He probably wouldn't have played The Musical Box in it's entirety since 1982 for the Six Of The Best reunion show

"Phil Collins" as "Phil Collins", playing "The Musical Box" with "The Musical Box".

Phil was never the stuck up perfectioninst that so many would have you believe, he was just so good at what he did and he cared alot about the way things sounded. A true all around class-act. He never sold his soul for fame... but he did give his heart away to all who needed it... we will miss you Phil. Thank you.

To play with one of the men that inspired their career... this show must have been very emotional for the Musical Box guys!

Collins is probably the greatest living drummer. This is all opinion, of course. Phil has great technique, but that's not what makes him the best. Simply put, he brings a musical "voice" to the drums that is absolutely breathtaking. If you are a drummer, or have any friends that are drummers and play this for them, I urge you to check out the studio version of "Cinema Show." He brings such beauty to the song, very light shuffling, incredible control/constraint, and then those fills in an absolute flash. My dad, himself a fine drummer, argued with me for months about that song:"Son, that's two Gdmn drummers!!!" Thirty-odd years later, he still thinks Collins is one of the greatest of all time.

I really love how Phil hit this delayed accent at 1:25 out of his memory, because they played it this way in 1992. The original version doesn't have this musical hit, that's why the musical box never played it.

How can he still have the same voice he had when he was 20? So beautiful... One of the many, many reasons why I adore The Musical Box (the song) is because of Phil's vocals, while playing. I'm just drooling here...

As soon as Phil sings: "here it comes agaaain!" the audience goes into a frenzy!!!

I saw Steve Hackett play with The Musical Box at the Royal Albert Hall on Firth of Fifth.....a truly amazing experience. The old guard have a record of supporting TMB in a lot of what they do. Great to keep the spirit alive. Alas we will probably never see the classic line-up perform live again.

Can we seriously sit someone down and ask them for the entire clip of this, PLEASE?

1970 to 1975 was the best!!!! and 1976 to 1980 was pretty dam great too!!..this is my 56 year old opinion! be nice people

Best drummer ever.

How good of a guy is Phil Collins? I mean, for one, he is so good spirited about Martin and his group playing all of his songs AND he’s a good sport and agrees to go up and play drums on the Musical Box. It is baffles me that this multi millionaire mega star is so chill and so cool that he’s like, “hell yeah I’ll go up there and play with you guys”.

This was just wonderful to watch.

How fucking great was that for the band? Fucking awsome experience for them I bet.....Bravo fellas....Cheers to Phil for performing with them.....

Shivers up the spine job

Phil is, and always will be, amazing!

This is awesome.....how many other guys would perform on stage with their tribute acts? I LOL'ed at the beginning though when he did that little prayer like "can is still play this?"

favorite drummer ever....

Historical moment. Back to the future. Thanks 🙏

Phil Collins in 2005 playing with The Musical Box playing the 1974 version of the 1970 track The Musical Box.

Amo como amo a água! Melhor cantor e baterista do mundo de tempos a tempos.

Complete please!!!!!!!!

OhMyF'ingGod! What I would have done to see Phil on stage with The Musical Box!! I saw TMB do "The Lamb" in it's entirety, in September, 2011 in San Francisco. I could not believe what I was seeing. I "blissed" all over myself!!!!

This was seriously amazing! "here it comes again..."

Phil's stage-presence is breathtaking.

The old Phil with the esotheric drum kit for The Lamb... Guou!!!

Great job Phil. It's not like you play that one everyday. That had to be the sickest case of deja vu ever!! You nailed it!

That was probably the most fun Phil's had in ages.

This is great to see Phil drumming. Although ages ago and an early Genesis song at that, something that the band would never play now (or at that time when Phil was still drumming.) These little tidbits are all we can live for to see now. Or find Steve's Genesis Revisited concerts. No one can drum like Phil in my eyes. A genius.

Thank you so much for uploading this gem! Phenomenal! 🥰😭✨

Great moment! Damn I wish Phil were up to doing the real thing!!! Great job by all on this.

VERY GOOD..............................

Phil is a great guy!! and great musician

Beautiful!

phil collins, as always, delivers with perfection :-) btw., regardless of routine and professionalism, I think phil collins is enjoying this A LOT... must be pretty trippy kind of flashback situation.

Wow. Must be so neat to have the Person you are trying to imitate actually be there.

I agree with you that after Hackett left, they took a complete turn into pop-world. Yet there are some great underrated songs that take then right back to the 70s. I wouldn't say "mama", but I would the Duke medley, Domino medley, as well as many of the songs that Banks/Rutherford did in Calling all Stations. Phil's voice would have sounded great on that particular cd. I'm still hoping to have Gabriel and Hackett make an album with the other three guys - now past 36 years ago.could you imagine?

That has got to be just oddly surreal for Phil.

Como bate hein! Não há ninguém igual.

I saw them in NYC in 1997 or 1998 playing the "Selling England" show and was absolutely stunned. I was 5 when Gabriel left, so I was too young to have seen that version of the band. This is as close as I presume I'll ever get.

Phil Collins con i The MUSICAL BOX la cover band ufficiale dei GENESIS !!!!! Sono sicuro che si sarà emozionato e divertito nel suonare la batteria su quei brani con quegli arrangiamenti musicali praticamente identici agli originali di quei MAGICI anni dei primi 70 !!!!!!! E poi si sarà emozionato anche nel vedere che il cantante ad ogni brano cambiava gli abiti di scena come faceva PETER GABRIEL e poi interpretava con le stesse movenze e stesse gestualità sempre di PETER e poi la band disposta come al tempo si posizionava sul palco , e LUI PHIL COLLINS oltre a suonare la batteria fare il controcanto al cantante della band , proprio come quando c'era PETER GABRIEL , sarà stato per LUI quella sera ,uno splendido tuffo nel passato , chissà quanti ricordi quanti momenti indimenticabili gli saranno balenati nella mente mentre stava suonando con i The MUSICAL BOX !!!!!!

Oh to have been there!!!

phil returning to his old "lamb lies down on broadway" - drum-kit - must be exactly what he needs ))

Increible!!!!!!!!!

Real phil Collins

The Musical Box, The Genesis Of A Tribute Band pro-shot DVD available at TommygunVideo web site, link and details on our channel

Phil has said in a recent 2020 interview that this was the worst performance he's ever given. But Phil at his worst is still better than most drummers at their best.

Incredible

Amaizing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck,would have loved to be at that gig!

@allenst Exactly!! No one complains when it comes to classic music. TMB plays classic Genesis in a very respecful and clever way.

It would be fantastic to see him with all the other Genesis musicians!

Unfortunately, I missed this concert cos of a blizzard and heavy snowfall.. Otherwise I would have driven 1100 kms to see it in Geneva.

wow phill uses his drum kit from lamb lies down on broadway era this is one of my favorites drum kits of phill

Glorioso

That's Phil.

That's pretty darn cool!

@WintersWar Actually Phil did use a shirt like the one he's wearing here. It was during the previous tour (Selling England..) he wore the white overall. So - this is as vintage as it can be :)

That's so cool!

i could never ever critisize this. this is very very cool

Please more Phil with The Musical Box.

This proves that phil didnt have issues with the old songs. The one that didnt want to play them again was tony banks.

Can you imagine if Roger Taylor had accepted Peter Gabriel’s invitation to join Genesis before Phil did?

Pretty much like Phil going back in time to perform with his band mates in 1973

@jmellopinheiro Because Phi is unable to play drums anymore due to a back injury. He said he wouldn't want to do it if he couldn't shred the drums

@torquesport Amen to that! Looking forward to the first Mama gig next week!

how awesome! must've been serious dejavu for Phil... can we see more of this???

Wow, didn't know Phil played along with TMB for this... Excelent if only clips...

does anybody have the whole clip of phil playing this with the musical box?

Very trusty of Martin Levac to let Phil use his drum kit! ;-)

So tired of the Gabriel/Collins era comparisons. It's boring. Everyone thinks they are an expert as to what the "real" Genesis is. Here's an idea: Stop insulting people who like eras you don't like and be respectful of others. My God! People are fucking ridiculous!!!

got my tickets for new uk tour next year

yup, I agree. Got very old.

@jmellopinheiro Have you heard Phil's singing? For Absent Friends is beautiful, and the period when they still were progressive, from ATOTT to Duke, was wonderful! The pop'ish albums were a "meh", but Phil's vocals on Entangled, Supper's Ready (live) and Afterglow are stunning!

awesome XD!!!!!!!

That's so weird seeing a "modern days" Phil Collins play in an "old days" Genesis!

T'would have been nice to see the entire performance. However, thanks for posting. Phil has said that "the Musical Box play it (meaning EVERYTHING) better than we ever did..." (I'm paraphrasing).

Phil - "There's something familiar about all this..."

Phil look liked he really had to work there...

Is this live concert available somewhere? Please tell me it is.

Posted before the fucking Gardening on Salvia video, and only 80,000+ views after all this time... criminal

Very good of Phil to do this, especially given how he's often disparaged Genesis' early work in recent years.

Does anybody know where I could find the complete show of Phil Collins playing with the musical box? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance!

@jmellopinheiro I can partially agree on that. I think they made the big step into pop land after "Duke". ATTWT and Duke are mostly prog, but have some pop-tunes on Duke ("Misunderstanding, Turn It On Again), and on ...And Then There Were Three:("Follow You, Follow Me"), but those songs aren't that bad. ATTWT is one of my favourite albums by Genesis. I can also agree that after Duke, they became almost like Phil's backing band. like Abacab and some songs of the later period, like Brazilian.

Complete song please!!

The day Phil woke up

Where is it possible to watch the Whole Musical Box Concert? :D Thats great :)

any idea where or when we can see a full song of this somewhere?

Anyone know where the full video is?

PURPLEINTHEDEEP WOULD BE LOST AT THIS SHOW !!!, A FISH OUT OF WATER , WANTING TO HEAR " I CAINT DANCE" , AND SHIT LIKE THAT LOL, HE WOUKD BE LAUGHED OUT OF THE PLACE

Wow, again Phil-bashing here. He is an easy target isn't he? I would love to read something else for a change than the same old same old.

Yes, where is the entire song?

@allenst oh yeah!

I think tha the fact that he has recently embraced the "older" catlog of Genesis is refreshing. I was getting annoyed during the late '80's and early '90's when he would slag the "old" stuff nearly every chance he got.

This looks great but why it is hacked to bits ? I mean it's virtually unwatchable as it is which is such a shame 'cos it's obviously a great show.

i did not see the full video plz post a link

FOR SURE, ONLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT

CHANGE YOUR DIAPER , YOUR PAPA IS CALLING LOL!!!

When was this?
