Phil Collins Closing Speech - Genesis - Oct 13 2007

[LiquidLen3333]

What did they play for their LA offering? I was there the night before when it rained. Totally irrelevant. Sorry.

Long live Genesis!!!!

[illegalalien2]

Im 16 years old and on my Youtube Channel I have uploaded a very very lots of Genesis Live records, Genesis is my life. Sadly I started to be a fan in End of October 2007, how stupid is that?

Im so much jealous of everyone here who had the chance to see this band

everytime I listen to the Dukes Travels Solo or Los Endos, I have to Cry, really

Please everyone here, get me 80 Million dollars by the weekend in the name of jesus so that I can buy a time machine :)

[pim1234]

I never saw this...I now I'm fucking criying, I'm 50 and Genesis was a part of my youth...thx guys !

[pacific707]

Thank to the Divine, and the mystery of Life and Love, for Genesis being in my life!

[coolredsilver]

i've seen them 13 times, and i will miss them Huge! Did not see this tour, but got the Rome DVD. It is Fantastic. They are the best of the best.

[skintrade]

They should have got a new album out or ep... maybe if they think it might tarnish the genesis name then release for free online!

[BoUrnNe26]

@skintrade I agree 100%

[24hire]

best ever

[jaggass]

His 3 marriages didnt last as long as his career in genesis. Just a bit of humour.

[jaggass]

They have been going as long as my parents marriage.

[brunnnito]

I love Phil Collins. I love Genesis.

[fendweller]

And what did they play then?

[johncorsino]

send me email and ill send some pics with me and my gal inPhil's dressing rom w/his daughter

[N1095A]

"I'm 56, I joined this band when I was 19."

Says quite a bit doesn't it? Long live GENESIS!

[cpjames2000]

It does say a hell of alot.. they dont make bands like Genesis anymore ... Who these days could say they had been in a bad for 37 years!

[klwewf]

I can only think of two other great bands with this longevity. Earth, Wind & Fire & The Rolling Stones.

[trsidn]

@klwewf U2 is working on it:)

[klwewf]

@trsidn When was U2 formed? I know the 3 bands I refer to (Genesis, EWF & The Stones) started in the mid late 60's.

[trsidn]

@klwewf Mid 70's, so they still have a little ways to go, but they seem pretty solid:)

[Featster74]

@klwewf I believe U2 formed in 83 or 84. Or that was when they became "big". May have formed earlier.

[BoUrnNe26]

@klwewf There is also the Eagles. They are a little younger but not by much. Iron Maiden is also getting up there if you want to count metal. I'm ecclectic when it it comes to music, I love almost all varieties. Wish I could have had a chance to see these guys. Something tells me they will never do another tour. :(

[klwewf]

@BoUrnNe26 You are absolutely right. And, I love The Eagles. Don't know how I let that one passed. Now, Iron Maiden probably would have never occured to me. But, you are right.

[kamwrites]

@BoUrnNe26 I'm not seeing a tour happening, unless Phil agrees to just sing and not get behind the kit. I don't know how they could top this tour, anyway. I'm in the same boat as you, been a fan most my life, never saw them live. Thank goodness for taped concerts!

[pacific707]

@kamwrites WHAT???? Phil LOVES being a drummer. In fact, that's how he will sign his personal autograph for you - as he did for me: Phil Collins, The Drummer, then the Singer."

[kamwrites]

@pacific707 Yes, but that doesn't help his nerve damage any, does it?

[bastidiaz]

I hope someday they do another record,another tour! This was emotional speech and i wish they carry on,genesis forever!...

[johncorsino]

i got some great pics of me and phil,mike rutherford was incredibly friendly,so was chester....didnt get to meet tony or darryl steurmer,but was in the same room w/them.had 8th row seats

[toastyplatters70]

I hope they carry on....with Peter and Steve!!!

[batatacollins]

kEEP DREAMING HEHEHE

[Segacamp]

lol Mike and Mechanics I know Mike in Genesis made the band up back in the 80's when Phil was busy with his solo career

[philcollinsuk]

Thanks for posting this. I was there for the 2 nights. Flew in from UK. First time in LA. Four times alltogether i saw Genesis on this tour and guess what? Yep it rained at 3 of the 4 gigs. Katowice Polska was the best though. Pete & Steve will play with Genesis again late in 2008. It's a def for sure!!

[johncorsino]

when and where?????

they arent doing the "LAMB" are they???

i met phil (got his e-mail address too)

[cosmicjazzer]

a bit off topic... but if you have got Phil's email address perhaps you could recommend the egoscue method to him. I have reason to believe that this could help his spinal problem...

It certainly has been the best form of treatment I've experienced for a shoulder injury... the science is very sound...Frankly, orthodox medicine is pretty cr** for muskuloskeletal disorders... Good luck Phil...

[JMRBAQ]

PHIL DRESSING LIKE PETER?

[johncorsino]

i was backstage....me and my gal were in Phils dressing room  chatting with him on the final night

[squonkynut]

I envy you!

[UpFromEden]

Wow, that was really great to be able to see, thanks for posting! :-)

[pinkalarmclock]

omg thats my dad who says 'come on philly!' and my brother and mum's heads at the beginning....

[elusive1970]

Unbelievable tour! Their best yet! There's hope for something in 2008 so we'll have to wait and see.

[BaronvonCase]

Great ending

Fantastic tour

Most amazing band in history

[squonkynut]

Thanks for putting this up. I was in tears watching this the first time. Saw them 4 times this tour - truly the greatest band EVER!

[ssudio56]

Thanks so much for posting this! I can only hope they come back, "sometime, somewhere."

[empressliuliu]

Excellent video!

I can't believe it... I can actual hear myself screaming... "I LOVE YOU PHIL!". It's faint, but it is at 2:14. I have a big mouth!

[ladySEGOVIA]

I had front row at this show! I got to see them 3 times on this tour and GOD I hope it isn't their last!! THANKS GENESIS!!! I love you guys forever! And you too Peter Gabriel, even though you decided not to join them! Oh yeah, and Steve Hackett as well!!

[joepod]

No love for Ray Wilson? :-(

[ladySEGOVIA]

Nothing against Ray...just not familiar with him with or not with Genesis.

[stevedrums]

Pure class.

[amacinan]

I saw them in Berne, front row, fantastic, even better that the tour I followed 20 years ago

[Donnie180]

Ahhhhhh really great and sweet words of Phil, what a great band, they are the best and most lovely band ever!!!

First I saw Phil twice in 2004 and this year Genesis tow times, my dreams came true, thanks again guys!

[jimhsix2]

Thank-you, Genesis. More than any other band, your music is the soundtrack of my life.

[PhilCollinsismyman]

Thank so much for uploading this video.

Made my cry, thinking of them leaving and listening to Phil's farewell speech.

WE LOVE YOU GENESIS!!!! and I sure as hell miss them.

I saw them on Toronto and I wish I could do it again they were so perfect as always.

[yuga2]

Thank you so much for this. What an emotional night.

[Bruceeddie01]

Bugger, really want them to do another tour so I can finally see them

[livinginoz]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I was there the night before and it got cut short because of the rain so we really didn't get a proper goodbye at the end of the show.

[ensaimo]

See if you can come to Spain next time, you little bastards!

[gothgirl25]

My heart is breaking, thank you so much for sharing this!  5 shows which made up one of the best September's of my life.
