Slit Skirts

[PetraeKo]

This is beautiful––thank you.

[valdostaguru]

i love micks ability to make the bass guitar sound like some dufferent instrument!!

[ponysmack]

Right--the guitar at the end of the album version is great! Too bad it fades out rather quickly.

[vinvanveen]

Wow, thanks for posting this. The wonderful, sadly recently deceased Mick Karn on bass. He talks about performing this song in his autobiography - how he basically had 10 minutes to learn the thing, but how Pete Townshend had absolute faith in him.

[no1paultaylor1975]

Anyone know what year this is? What event / concert is it part of?

[sober8]

@no1paultaylor1975 I ripped it from a Phil Collins compilation disc I recieved in a trade. The cover states it's from 1984. My guess it is one of the Prince's Trust concerts

[bradzilla3k]

@sober8 Good guess! Wikipedia says "The track was first performed live in July 1982 at the first Prince's Trust concert in London featuring Phil Collins on drums."

[Jnkdog]

Owwww.... Yeah. Great rock and roll.

[brettfoshager]

Well because I've seen Adding comments has been disabled for this video on other videos and I just decided to say comet instead of comment.

[brettfoshager]

Adding comets has been disabled for this video.

[jonknox]

Sweet! I officially have a smile on my face.

[zebonaut]

Collins, Ure, Townsend,Karn, Brooker.. this line up is a DREAM, DO YOU SEE THAT !!!!???

I love the way phrases the "..come around" part with the free strokes on the cymbals

[capricious71]

It's a very good album and I think this is the last song on it. Loved the guitar at the end.

[foppa123]

bad ending to a great tune.

[tnelson11]

I agree, the original recording has Pete soloing to end the song. I would rather hear a PT solo then a repeat lyrical part that just ends. This ending was kind of a cop out.

[BaDeeRich]

Listen to Phil rip through those tom toms..

[BaDeeRich]

Listen to Phil rip through those tom toms..

[geridg]

this is Pete's "new wave retro-fascist" look, and I love the hair and makeup. Oh well, even the coolest rockstar ever stumbled through fashion sometimes.....I like his angry drunk Empty Glass period look best...

[excelerater]

LOL....glad it was a short term thing

[VivianSmythe]

lol... Dr. evil look

[bushface1327]

At 3:17 Pete looks to give Phil a nod to start a drum roll but he knows Phil is on top of things and has a sheepish grin instead. Great smile!

[1982Rafael]

That's awesome!

[laspulgasgunners]

I remember the nights of slit skirts. And I remember one young lady back in the late 70's who didn't ware slit skirts. Judy never wore slit skirts. : (

[Doggchop]

Phil really nails this song. Amazing. Both these guys.

This should be sent into space for other planets to watch.

[dude1275]

Oh yeah, I just remembered...everyone comes out at the end does Sly Stone's "Take You Higher" for the encore. Way cool.

[Sylvie1984]

Mick Karn on fretless bass here!! Fantastic to see this performance, thanks!!

[kitakashiwa]

Pete's early 80s 'Duran Duran' hair before the fallout

[dude1275]

phil does play with jethro Tull on their set from this...which I believe was an early secret police man's ball? saw this years ago...

[linco515]

This song still takes my breath away.

[mwp62]

Does anyone have a video performance of Pete's "Give Blood" that they could post? Thanks.

[dude1275]

seconded.

[mwp62]

Give Blood has been added.

[billangus]

Phil is the house drummer for the whole concert playing with Robert Plant, Pete, Midge Ure, Kate Bush, Gary Brooker & Ian Anderson & Martin Barre, It was quite something to see Plant's Worse Than Detroit with Robbie Blunt on slide and Townshend on lead (and, of course, Phil). Sublime.

[jjp009]

Is that John Mark Karr on guitar?

[tbaker138]

hahahahahahaha!!

[ajfsazevedo]

This is from the First Prince's Rock Gala. Midge Ure and Robert Plant are also in the concert.

[ezrinjem]

Does Phil play drums for Robert Plant's set, too?  I know he played them on Plant's "Pictures At Eleven."

[dextrosien]

I don't think this song is too much like a pop song really. You have to keep in mind that this entire album was focused on his recovery from heroin addiction. There are some odd tracks, but the whole albums really is amazing. Out of all the songs this is easily the best for a single and this video is interesting since it has Phil Collins in it. I was a big Genesis fan(with Gabriel and Collins) before I found the Who.

keep the faith,

[zornfizza2]

really, 'All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes'? RE: addiction

[cinny85]

woaw... Phil Collins looks great... (he's behind the drums)

thanks for posting, nice to see Pete

[FAQFAQ]

Very cool. Got any more pete solo stuff?

[JeroenK]

Pete the pop singer instead of Pete the rock guitarist. A strange sight, I must say. When he starts singing in gibberish and messes up the ending it's almost back to normal, though! Thanks for sharing!

[tussery]

That is becuase Pete has a hard time singing and playing piano. He has admitted to that.
