In The Cage Medley

[codematrix]

You mean cage not cave.

[lesclaypool0727]

Like Phil Collins sings this!

[agustobba]

the vocal is great!! sound very very nice!!!!

[lesclaypool0727]

Best cover ever!

[markboccaccio]

singer needs a better shirt....and the curse of "The cage" continues, unblemished. Outside of the album, i have never heard a keyboard player get all the way through the song with blowing it to some extent. Heck, I even saw Tony Banks clam it 2 nights in a row back on Dec. 17th-18th 1974 in Rochester and Buffalo NY during the original Genesis "Lamb" tour with Gabriel. I blew it myself whenever i knew the red "Record" light was on, with Rapid Eye, a cover band in NY, so I pay close attention :)

[zierkly]

@markboccaccio Tony Banks also completely blows it on the MAMA tour on the video and on the bootleg cd I have of that tour. Outside of the 3 sides live version and the actual album I think the guy in this band is the best that I've seen =)

I've seen some really awful versions here on youtube also.

[Delgift]

Excellent! Some pretty much like the band.

[just4thelolz]

don't try to be phil, do it the peter's way ;)

[zierkly]

@just4thelolz They are doing an exact rendition of side 3 from three sides live and the singer is singing in English when he speaks German, so they are literally copying that version.

[funkster007]

@just4thelolz I think they're trying to capture the 3 Sides Live vibe.... but I agree.

[zierkly]

WOW!!!!!!!! This is amazing. Other than a few wrong words this would be GENESIS. Nice Job!!!!!!

[zierkly]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! This is amazing. Other than a few wrong words this would be GENESIS. Nice Job!!!!!!

[davidmochen]

Superb.

[JeauxBand]

Very, very good cover! So accurate.

[TheTayMan]

this is great, musically its awesome to listen to, solid bass, drumming is awesome, keyboard player is great, sounds good guys! keep it up!

[sean3415]

come to America!

[matstar19]

Good Work to the Singer !!

[praestigium]

Amazing to hear. If I hear this is in a club I would be all over it. Just because they are not Genesis does not take anything away from these guys. Enjoyed, deep enjoyment. Please do more!

[raeljjd1966]

The best Genesis cover i have ever heard..Nice 1 lid..!

[georgeman2468]

Excellent cover this! Seriously, very very good

[semajttam]

I tell you what, if there was ever a singer who could mimic Gabriel and Collins at the same time, it's this guy.....he sometimes has a gabrielesque voice with Collins' range.

[InrollRadio]

Incredible. This is the best cover that I saw in my life. Amazing!!

[georgeman2468]

Blimey! Its like watching genesis in conert with phil on vocals. I agree about the mannerisms etc. Super stuff

[ricardolimatrucco]

Just Beautiful

[yothdagor]

you guys are amazing!! Please come and play in Berlin!! Truly excellent!!

[ntrlmass]

Yeah great cover, and I've been listening to the original for 30 years! Sounds a lot like "3 sides live" version with Phil Collins intonation and mannerisms. Fair enough if that's what you prefer, sounds good. Vocals and bass stood out as good for me. Keyboards good, but too fast at times - I know Genesis did that in concert in the 80s/90s but for me it was not an improvement! Cheers, good job guys, I'd pay to see you here in California.

[blake46long]

This is a pretty damn good cover, actually.

[christophemocquet]

bravo ..... bravo ..... j'ai fermé les yeux pour vous écouter, c'est admirable .......... à bientôt

tof

[MikeyRB77]

Freakin' good, fellas. From one tribute artist to another! It would be a dream come true to play in a Genesis tribute.

[fooger12345]

This is absolutely amazing stuff. Perfect.

[ninedeep]

Absolutely stunning! Holy $hit. Any US dates coming up?

And enough with the "hands" comments. This band blows the roof off the joint and people are focused on what the singer's HANDS are doing? Unreal. The guy just took 99% of all singers to SCHOOL.

[goethean]

What is the last part?

[lekezenman]

Stunning performance!

Who are you, where do you perform next?

Bernard

[vpdigital]

We'll be playing a new show on march 13th at the studio theatre in Hanover, Germany. This time, we focus on songs of Genesis and Phil Collins... featuring a larger lineup with two drum sets + percussion, live horn section and background singers!

So you'll see a brand new set list with some of the hottest Collins stuff as well as some rarely performed bold and glorious Genesis tunes.

Again, you don't have to buy any tickets, since entrance is free. We do ask for donations, though... :-)

[Dannymusic1999]

@vpdigital You and your band play strictly a Phil Collins, Genesis?

[mxpixx]

Musicians are brill,lead singer is too but might be better if he tried not to copy Phil quite so much..specially the hand movements..

[TheTayMan]

The lead singer is trying to act like Phil to much. Voice is decent by his attempt at acting like Phil makes him look retarded. Hand movements need stop. LOL. Excellent instrumentally though!

[audiotrax2000]

Wow, impressive voice! Wish I could do that. You don't need the wierd hand things going. The whole band is great - love the girl playing the wicked bass parts.

[JackBlair2]

Altho, the proper way to sing this is shirtless.. Rael, you know ;-)

[JackBlair2]

great job

[ceazea]

this is like 1/3 Peter 1/3 Phil and 1/3 Michael Stipe.

[Dafter88]

This is awesome! I want to be the singer! =D

[schizoidmannello]

Great job!!!

[tindrum]

The singer is good, flubs some words, my only advice is that he should make the song his own, it would seem like there is more conviction there. overall though thumbs up!

[PoetaDiLilith]

You are absolutely talented...

Are you coming to Italy for a tour?

[MUCVEGA]

Fan de genesis depuis presque 30 ans...

incontestablement le meilleur tribute band jamais entendu.

Again, again...

[tommycottreau]

although i miss the double bass drums at the change.

[tommycottreau]

im critical when it comes to covers but man outstanding job. Well done. Well, well done.

[asmodeo1984]

very gooooood job!

[miloudyt]

Excellent!

[buckeyesrule10]

I'm sorry but this guy can not be compared to Phil. Not even close. I mean he is on Pluto. Please don't waste ur money going to watch this guy.

[erikinhawaii]

Easy man, the guy is good. The whole band is very talented, criticism is fine but come on...

[buckeyesrule10]

Just get a new singer. Ba

[PaulHartXYZ]

WHO CARES ABOUT PHIL????

This is a Peter song.

And this lead singer is doing a great job.

The band is incredibly talented.

[Laminateddeffect]

If anything, this guy sounds more like Peter....a little less dynamic though, & I dont know about his wardrobe....ironic, once I think about it

[vision19701004]

Nice job to all there!! Great stuff!

Any idea where we can see the full version?

[sgvrr2003]

This is a great job on a awesome song!

He sounds a bit like Phil & Peter. I look away from the screen to feel the sound. The band is right on!... I would give my left one to play drums along with these guys...

[corlackis]

Very good boys very good. Great vocals and playing by you all on what is a very complex song, nice one! (sounds like pete)

[mwolve64]

Excellent Job ! Such a difficult song mastered by you guys great work!

[bennyGenesis]

Superrrrrrrrr

[aqwaya]

Ach was, phantastisch!!!! :-D

[mattlth]

Fabulous!  Nice work boys.

[erikinhawaii]

Pretty dam good, actually perfect ! Great job on a classic Genesis tune...

[mooghammondb3]

Fantastic Phil Collins voice...it's a hard one to emulate well!

[emiel4sma]

I think it sounds more like Peter Gabriel actually... But he does all the stuff Phil does,, so that's pretty damn good!!

[DippysFinest]

vpdigital: You guys are GREAT!

I loved the videos! Play more and come to North Carolina! Keep up the fabulous work!

[pilhadenervos]

To me is really frightening listen to this, believing that is the real Genesis and suddenly watch other people making it. It seems like a possession or something like that. Very strange, just like the many "Beatles cover" bands around the world.

[pilhadenervos]

Sorry if my comment seems agressive. I'm only a sincere person. Yes, I'm a musician, but above all a great Genesis fan. Initially I was really glad to know that someone make a show in homage to Genesis. But, sincerely, search for Colin Smith on YouTube and you'll see a much more creative version of some of the Genesis songs. Really profound, not imitation.

[pilhadenervos]

Good intentions, bad results. Today musicians believe that only the ability to play difficult things is equal to musicianship. This band have no personality at all. Phil Collins trying to sing Peter Gabriel's repertoire is pathetic, but someone trying TO BE Phil Collins is too much unconvincing.

[shoans]

very sad.

i am sure you are a musician.

the only time i see one musician putting down another is when the one talking is talentless.

sorry.

[DippysFinest]

Replies such as this really test my "no flaming" montra. Suffice to say that vpdigital's band are exception musicians and I REALLY enjoyed their work. Thank you vpdigital, you guys are all fantastic!

Perhaps pilhadenervos can show us some of his

musical performances??? He obviosuly is a musical expert and seasoned professional critic.

[emiel4sma]

Peter Gabriel's repertoire? Did you just ate something, or smoked something that's bad for you?

It's Genesis' repertoire, they wrote that stuff together, Phil happened to be in the band as well, and had to sing when Peter left. He's singing songs he helped writing, not Peter's repertoire, so why blame him him for sucking at it, he gives it his own thing, at a high level, pretty damn good, just not the original way.

Than for this band, great cover, but singer, stop being weird with the hands

[Jeuwseph]

My God, you guys are incredible. Very tight and great. The music is impeccable....although I do find you sound like Phil on this one....

[smadurski]

I disagree he sounds more like Pete on this song.

[strykertube]

Bravo!! Excellent musicians doing an excellent cover of the best music ever. Keep it up!!

[fernald10]

Don't know why I've only just come across these performances, but they're fantastic. I look forward to more. Jochen Pietsch's keyboard sounds are very tasty.

[89DrAcoNiAn89]

You are great!!!

[BloodOnTheRooftops]

Nur Martin Levac (Ex.TMB) covert Phil in dem Song besser!

Mama, Fading Lights & Afterglow haben mir von Euch gesnaglich nicht so gefallen, aber Euer Käfig ist richtig klasse!

[sebawilken]

Hallöchen!

Sehr gelungene Cover-Version! Ihr habt den Drive und die Aggressivität von ITC (vor allem die Collins-Versionen!) sehr gut eingefangen. Der etwas unpassende Lead-Sound wurde ja schon angesprochen, aber ich denke es ist nicht so leicht Tonys Sounds 1:1 zu treffen.

Auch Cinema Show macht ihr sehr sehr gut, klasse Version. Aber ihr solltet euch mal ne 12-saitige Gitarre UND(!!) ganz wichtig ein Moog Taurus Basspedal zulegen. Das fehlt schon etwas...

[flohdaniel]

Ich war total Baff. Wenn das Video nicht gewesen wär hätte ich an eine Orginal Genesis Live Aufnahme geglaubt!!!! Fantastisch, perfekt, geil! Ich liebe es!

[volendos2]

absolutely fantasic

[Capacitor76]

Minimaler Abzug wegen Ungenauigkeiten im Cinema Show-Part und des harschen, trockenen Leadsounds. Trotzdem 5 Sterne: Sehr tighte und energetische Vorstellung, außer dem Synth-Lead authentischer Sound, und der Sänger klingt wie Phil. Gruß aus Bielefeld, Genesis-Tribut-Brachland :-(

[DavieMarshall]

Another flawless cover.

[CaptainFrantic]

My favourite Genesis "rock" song and you hit it ON THE MONEY !!! Seriously impressive - subscribed ... now I just have to listen to the rest of your stuff ... please tell me that a UK tour is planned because I am SO coming.

[arturfilipe98]

Who are these guys ?

Fantastic sound

[Marcusvdgg71]

Good job guys!!! congratulations!!!
