I don't know if anyone else has heard all 67 minutes of the record this came from, but it is his darkest. most atmospheric disc (IMO) to date. To me, it has the immediacy of "Face Value", the downbeat mood of "...But Seriously" and the catchiness of "Hello! I Must Be Going!" One of pop's most overlooked treasures.
Unplugged is such a misnomer... his piano is clearly electric and of course his voice is mic'd up. But none of that matters; beautiful rendition of one of his most politcal and brilliant pop songs.
More than a Genius. Can write music, lyrics, Act, (Buster), scores for movies, play all sorts of instruments. He said he wasn't trained in piano. I wish I could play like that. Excellent!
Well the piano parts are not that hard. The more difficult thing is clean and accurate singing while playing the instrument. He's a truly gifted musician and composer.
phil at his best,just him and a piano.british papers crucified phil at his peak.they love to knock people down who are doing well.jealousy is a very sad trait

WOW!! Thank you MeanAuntie, this is one of the best unplugged I have heard of Phil and first hearing Both Sides of the Story live too. My boyfriends says it sounds great too.

I remember Phil doing more or less the same performance for MTV. Too bad I didn't record it back then. If anyone has it...please load it up! Thanks.

Love it when he does his stuff like this without the band at times. It shows just what a true genius he really is.

Phil is simply great. He has some of the best horns and drums in rock n roll/pop. No one arranges horns like a Phil Collins does.
