Phil Collins - Interview 1978

[geomusicmove]

Just wanted to say that Phil Collins is a bloody genius. I don't say this about many musicians

[Jez2008UK]

Question.

When the sound engineers are moving those sliders up and down, is that them mixing and making that track in real time ??

[geomusicmove]

@Jez2008UK that's them mixing recorded stuff, mixing in real time as it used to be done

Love that interview-especially with that person walking in front of Phil Collins. CRIED Laughing...!

[codern]

i love that sound of the 70s...it might not be good sound quality, but it's sure quality sound.

[datoobster75]

Great Phil Collins interview from days of old. LOL at 3:34!! XD

[nannerobo]

..."i wanted to be asked"... seems to have worked out... love....

[RectumPilum]

100% better. I've heard Mike in another interview (much later than this) say that And Then We Were Three was their worst album ever. =P

[mantra3000]

The guy with the pink shirt is David Hentschel, who has produced all things Genesis from A trick to Duke, e.g. a pure God of the sound of music.

Phil became one of the biggest stars in history,theres not much Phil hasnt accomplished since 1978. hes won Grammys,hes in the Rock n Roll hall of fame w/Genesis,hes had a highly sucessful solo career,he is an accomplished songwriter,hes had many side projects, brandx, Clapton tours,big Band tours,hes a great engineer & producer, hes a multi millionare ,its sad to hear the suicide comments,and his depression over his divorce ,the bitterness of his retiring , sad

What a snowman!

[tylersnard]

You'll have to excuse the sound quality, this is the 70's.

[TheOptimod]

@tylersnard Not that funny really though.

[VortexDrugsmith]

@tylersnard I think the problem is within the recording device(VCR, Betamax or whatever). I've seen extreme HQ videos and sound, even from the 30's! :))))

[romans52345]

@tylersnard Sounds Pretty Good to Me

[ajittffcure]

[SRNF]

@MarMetalness it was the 70s. I think it would be a WoW if he wasn't.

[Hickers75]

@MarMetalness Actually ,i think phil is stoned

[guitarboy64]

@MarMetalness It was the 70's. I really wouldn't doubt it haha.

[BarbieBillionaire]

@MarMetalness This was the 70's! They all were high!!!!!!

[freiheitsalv]

3:34 omg! there's an interview going on and someone passes right through it!!!!!

[dwilmer7]

i think this interviewer used to be in the go-go girls.

[leedsguy41]

Great footage which ive never seen before. Nice to always see these gems. Thanks for uploading

[ramonmaza]

this is a miracle! especially the end in the mixer

[freiheitsalv]

phil's face: "not that question again!!!!!!" hahaha

[chrisoconnell32]

amazin footage from a magical era of genesis, thanks so much for putting this gem up, made my day.

[pglink]

This interview must have been filmed at Trident around the time of SO's release (Oct 21, '77, according to Wikipedia), during the final days of mixing of ATTWT. If SH left three weeks earlier, as PC claims, that would be ca. Oct 1, '77. According to Wikipedia, ATTWT was recorded Sep-Oct '77. Did TB, PC, and MR write, rehearse, record, and mix a whole album in 3 weeks? It seems unlikely, suggesting that SH must have been present during some parts of the writing and rehearsing. That's news to me.

[sadsongco]

@pglink either that or those 'drugs' that people used to take in 'the 70s' affected time perception somewhat :-)

[frk75]

@pglink

the seconds out album, according to some books,( ''inside and out'' (robin platts) being among them), was mixed in august 1977, and steve left in the middle of the mixing of thdis live recor... so probably phil meant to say 3 ''months'' ago instead of 3 ''weeks''....

[millsy2010]

:-O wow, so great to keep seeing all this old footage appearing. Maybe there should be a Genesis channel on Freeview.. ;-)
