Geneis live Illegal Alien

[eldarioche]

0.34. A LITTLE DRUM.!!!!JEJEJE

[TheColdcut74]

It no fun listening to dum crap people do:)

[TheColdcut74]

Dude it rocks fuck um phil

[lambcrawler]

Worst Genesis song ever !



[kirklott]

Embarrassing....

[alphadog91000]

this song is catchy but gay

[MsJams1234]

what's with the clothes pins on Phil's coat? the band also was wearing them in the "That's All" official video.

[loriellenmiller]

I saw this tour and it was fantastic! Genesis and Phil Collins always put on a great tour. We'd watch them in Portland, Oregon and then drive up to Seattle to see them again.

[screaming71datsun510]

I find this very intertaining, because being a former Illegal Alien is all true, taking a trip to Downtown we ran the risk of being cought by INS or like my brother called it Manotas. When your in the outside you see this country as the Emeral City over the Horizon where everything comes easy, All the streets are paved, No trash, Povery does not exsist....Like My Uncle Chuy said once to his brother who came to take him back to Mexico....Poor here in U.S. or Poor in Mexico? I rather be Poor here.

[onthemicwithmike]

this will get in your head

[mistalala]

is there a full version of this concert?

[illegalalien2]

@mistalala The Full Version Lies in the "Farm The Recording Studios", in London.

Maybe you can go inside it like a thief :D

Well there are Audio Only Recordings from this Birmingham Concert, but thats all, this Video DVD is cut, so the Full Footage lies in the Archive :)

[SPeacock]

@illegalalien2 Why hasn't the full show been released officially yet? That's what I (and many other fans) would like to know.

[illegalalien2]

@SPeacock Nice Question, because the Movie Box was released last Year, they had a chance to do it. Dodo, Old Medley,Carpet Crawlers,Follow You, Follow Me and Los Endos are sadly still missing on the Movie Box. A Soundboard exists of this Gig, also an Audience record, Video parts surely yes...

Complete VideoConcerts from all Genesis Tours, that would be great : from 76,77,78,81,82,83,84,86 with complete Cage Medley or from the lamb tour and so on :-(

[SPeacock]

@illegalalien2 I'm of a good mind to give the band a right good talking-to (if I knew their whereabouts).

[MadameChaotica]

at 4:42, should have used that cowbell, i think

[MadameChaotica]

what about more cowbell

[calboy2]

Fuck the white rich republican man!

[mundrubjet]

@calboy2 Yeah...because Bill Clinton and all his democrat buddies aren't filthy stinking rich either right?? And it wasn't the white, rich, republican men standing out in front of the voting office with billie clubs threatening voters as they walked in the front door now was it?? Grow a brain...

[MaxAck]

THUMBS UP if this song should be ghetto-blasted eighties style into pompous twit, Lou Dobbs' ears.

[telefalls]

damn shame, it might feel good, but aint.

[MICHITO62]

Muy bueno. Genial. Me encanta. No me canso de verlo y oirlo.

[uradoochbag]

what do the aliens think of this song?

[WhiteStoneChild]

@uradoochbag who cares they are illegal :p

[zazozung]

Three spics voted dislike.

[wtomazini]

Mike likes to dance!

[GVike]

I'm really digging the fact that an acoustic-electric classical guitar is being used with that effect on the main riff. I mean, wow. Also you can appreciate Mike's fantastic Steinberger bass sound. As for the song itself it might have been ill-advised but I would think Genesis meant no real harm about it.

[CoTeCiOtm]

Maybe not the best Genesis song, and maybe one of the most criticized songs of Genesis, but you can't deny that these guys had an amazing time performing it, you can see they're having fun, the same with the video clip. I've always been thinking that these guys didn't change their musical direction because of money, they changed because they felt that this was the kind of music they wanted to play.

[rorshak23]

stupidest song I've ever heard

[WhiteStoneChild]

@rorshak23 more like the best song you've ever heard. are you mad cause your an illegal alien?

[braveheart706]

@rorshak23 you must be about 2 years old if this is the stupidest song you have ever heard.

[pdynamics1]

Nice Ghetto Blaster Phil collins holds at the beggining of the video. Don't see much more of those these days...

[wolfstyle68]

Over the border,there lays the promised land,where everything comes easy,you just hold out yor hand.

[TheElusiveBirdMan]

Genesis, at least Collins are, were pretty liberal (no son of mine, jesus he knows me, land of confusion, domino ect)

I'm not sure if this song was a racist jab at wetbacks, or a lampoon on the anti-immigrant hystaria, or both. Can anyone elaborate based on interviews or anything?

[Morality124]

@TheElusiveBirdMan It was just intended as satire.

[vivelavidarocka]

My God! Even Tears for Fears used to make better and smarter Pop than Genesis. 

[SmilingThruChaos]

@vivelavidarocka And Tears For Fears had 3 songs in the chart and Collins dominated for how many years???

[vivelavidarocka]

@SmilingThruChaos Even in the eighties, having songs in the charts, wasn't a synonym for excellence. Exactly my point, TFF had only three! Thanks the Lord.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

100 years ago it was acceptable for al jolsten to wear black pancake on his face and get down on one knee singing "mamma" in pantomime of emancipated slaves. How do you think society will view this song in the next 100 years?

[PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

I'm glad Genesis didn't play this song during their last tour in 2007. Otherwise some neanderthals from ICE would have storm the stage, arrest Phil Collins and deport him cutting the concert short.

Great song, though.

[TheMatchu123]

Obama is dodging the immigration debate till re-election, though it may very well be his downfall.

[dlugiprogres]

yuup

[ekbooth]

GeneSis

[SuperFreakNZ]

Where can I find this DVD or what tour is this?

[RenalJim]

Obama's theme song

[RenalJim]

Obama's Theme Song!



[ram29jackson]

Happy cinco de mayo hahahahahaha

[averyellis]

Arizona's new state song.

[Yaz224]

je ne mange ni viande ni poisson

[fearview]

they all wearing black eye glasses in this song..?

:D

whyyy??

[klwewf]

He explains why earlier in the concert. They are "entering the country illegally". It's so they won't "identified". It's in jest.

[gaae2000]

La Migra wears black glasses, used to

[MICHITO62]

Bueniiiiiiiiiiiisimooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!! Me encanto este video. Que grandes que son. Son muy originales. Gracias

[KingCitaldo125]

Living in Oblivion: I Eat-E 80's

[smigbabb]

got this on the mama tour on vhs and it is fuckin ace but the pic and sound are toss from playin it to death

[collartrance]

f'ing awsome! bring back the 80's! :)

[vodude]

This song may be silly but it is still one of the greatest pop songs Genesis ever made. Great beat & rhythm, Original sound & Catchy lyrics. What more could you ask for in a song?

[madcapopel]

Totally agree. I'm inclined to think that after Steve Hackett left Genesis "threw out the baby with the bathwater" on "...And Then There Were Three..." but I can still recognize pure pop genius when I hear it.

[klwewf]

What?

[madcapopel]

@klwewf Well, what I meant was, I generally dislike what Genesis did after Steve Hackett left, but there are exceptions such as this song...

[tjelect7]

Bring back the original video!

[GrayLeader2184]

This song is now officially stuck in my head and never leaving. (For better or worse).

[reanimate280]

apart from phil did everyone in the very early 80s look like jim henson?

[glir144]

What about Robin Williams?

[KingCitaldo125]

@glir144

No hes just an actor, who was probably still playing mork on the show; Mork and Mindy

[klwewf]

I don't know why that's so funny. But, it was! "Jim Henson"

[Oxpost]

@reanimate280 Or did Jim Henson look like everyone?

[kev5621]

@reanimate280 Cocaine is a hell of a drug

[exitwest]

@reanimate280 It was mandated by law

[TheJman2600]

It's funny and silly how they all have sunglasses. By the way, was this recorded at the L.A. Forum?

[thetallguyo9]

@TheJman2600 Its actually the national exhibition centre in birmingham england

[meerkatimon89]

the only tour they played this song live on was the MAMA tour. great song! drums sound dodgy though.

[BlackDeathRider]

Love this song!

[BAUquantico]

Was this on the Mama tour?

[AeroZach1029]

Yes, it was :)

[NAIVADA]

Excellentttttt :)

[BoUrnNe26]

Hahaha. I love how Phil really gets into the songs they perform when they did their tours. An all-around amazing entertainer.

[DaR4Buff]

I sang this song the other day!

[nowayoutAGAIN]

This is strange I was only thinking about this concert/song this morning.
