Genesis-Drum Duet

[MrBjanka]

drum duet after that part turn it on again

[Bentom86]

Is it possible that I'm the only one who memorized every move of this by wearing out my VHS tape?? With all of the other versions I've found on You Tube, I haven't seen this one in years, but still know it by heart. With Phil's health issues, not to mention being 60 yrs old now, it's very sad that we may never see another live duet with the great Chester Thompson, but I truly hope I'm wrong. Thanks so much Sober8!

[firstmusic00]

This was from 1983 or 84, right?

[poopypants1225]

Correct...I believe this tour was 1983, which means the video would have been out in '83 or '84.

[dalihendrix]

twirly poop star fruits.

lol

[amouno]

I have always loved these guys. So glad to see this and all videos including Threee Sides Live!

[matthewimi]

Love that drum solo.. loved it since I first saw the video in 84' Anything I could tap on.. I was banging out those triplet chops Phil was doing in the first 1/3rd of the solo.. classic!

[sober8]

What video are you commenting on dude. You mention they mess up at 5:52, it's not even that long. Give your head a shake!!

[kevok2]

Uh, its definitely Genesis. Cover bands don't get this good. And like sober8 said, the video isn't even 5:52 long. WTF?

[stevelerro]

as much as i think phil is better at singing than gabrial, the music was much better when gabrial was in the band

[matthewimi]

The music wasn't better when Gabriel was in the band.. it was just............ different. What changed the music was technology and the progressive nature of the music related to the interests of the listeners. Not to mention that they were a 5 piece writing group then. 4 after Peter and 3 when Steve left. Wow, that sounded cool! Electronic drum boxes really changed the "Genesis" sound. You'll notice it really takes a "pop" direction with the release of Duke in 1979.

[farese1]

I think phil is a great drummer...and also a good singer...I love genesis' songs with gabriel...but i think Phil have a better voice than gabriel....they are two different artists---two great minds....and two great musician...

[boodleboy]

imho, Phil has "the soul" of a drummer. He sings really good technically, but his voice just hasn't that certain kind of magic and charisma that you can hear from his drumming. Peter Gabriel had way more charisma in his voice, eventhough he wasn't on a very high technical level. I love the first Genesis recordings the most, partially for Phil's stunning drumwork.

[NOMIND101]

I disagree. I think Phil's had one of the most dynamic, passionate voices in rock. Something about his vocals reminds me of Maynard James Keenan from Tool. Just the passion I guess. (If Tool's too heavy for ya, check out A Perfect Circle's Mer De Noms). I like his versions of all the old Genesis tunes better than Peter's. This drum duet is ridiculous.

[boodleboy]

Sure, i love Tool. Yeah, it's all just a question of personal preference, but Collins just doesn't reach me on an emotional level at all. Though of course he is not a bad singer, no need to discuss that. :)

[clanbj]

Awsome, i can't wait to se them live next week (14/6)

[davidnyren]

they are just great! looking forward to see them live this summer!

[mitroffjr]

Ah, my first Genesis concert. I saw them four more times after this and will see them again in October. I can only hope for another Chester-Phil performance...and "In The Cage".

[seanlasheep]

Anybody know if this show is on DVD !!! and if Yes ! whats it called ? Thank You :)

[sober8]

Yes this is from a dvd, I just can't remember which one off hand, I do have quite a few of them.

[seanlasheep]

It's from the Mama Tour i know that Much !! Second home By The Sea sounds Great from this Gig !! Ain't seen it in a wile though :( hard 2 find !!

[renoo27]

Yes there is a DVD, but you can only buy it along with loads of other Genesis stuff which costs something like £85. But it is also on a video called "The Mama tour". You should get it, it's an incredible gig.

[johnfromtampa]

@sober8  This is "The Mama Tour"!

[conorcro]

Ah ha, Thank You!

[conorcro]

WOOOOOW!!This is CLASS!!

[conorcro]

Whats that thing that Phil hits at around 44?

[agentknyne]

its a simmons sds5 electronic drum pad

[MusicBox1986]

Best drum duet. Period!

[philcollins17]

Chester + Phil = The best drum duet

[BeatSpace9]

This has to be my favourite drum duet, so great.

[italysqueenie]

I gotta get me some Phil. he's such a turn on!

[homerinchinatown2]

You remind me of someone I knew back in high school. She and I liked Phil for verrrry different reasons! As for the drumming, this is one of my favorite duets of theirs (Phil and Chester, that is).

[italysqueenie]

i just love drum solo's.have you ever heard or seen neil peart? from rush? hes the best and they all have their own different rhythems. i couldnt ask for more.

[dpitd]

The drum duet leads into Turn it on Again, on this 84 tour. On the 1987 tour it went into Los Endos.

[squonkynut]

This did lead into Los Endos, only the video cut off Los Endos for some reason. My dad saw this tour and told me this when we were watching the video the other week.

This proves why Phil Collins is my idol!

[Drew1701E]

Actually, during the Mama tour, they went from the drum duet into "Turn It On Again." This is, by far, the best drum duet EVER! :)

[andykelly]

This is my favorite of Phil & Chesters many drum duets

[Omer7]

Wow! This is some good shit! Amazing man....Felt it all.

[camoweir]

john bonham, moby dick. take a look at that

[MicrophonicFool]

Yep they're both world-class. No harm I guess in Phil getting a little soft in his old-age. Chester and Phil have been drumming giants for decades.

.

Make sure you get a chance to see Chester with Frank Zappa. A little different, but my god. He's always been solid.

[jbqwerty]

... actually, this the opening to Los Endos. Seanboud is right. This duet was performed firts by Collins and Bruford around 1976 Genesis Tour. Great video, thanks.

[WouterJ]

Look closely at Phil's bassdrum, look at what pace his foot keeps on delivering that kick. Chester has to use two bassdrums just to keep up.

[seannthompson]

this isn't that hard with one kick and trust me, i've seen chester live a few times... he has a pretty fast foot. i think it's more about justifying all those rack toms. imagine all those drums and just one bass drum... it would look pretty funny!

[NativeMoon]

It doesnt get any better than this - bloody brilliant!

[seanboud]

I beleive this drum duet is officially called "Los Endos". Great stuff, both are fantastic drummers.

[sober8]

No this is not "Los Endos", that's a completly different song.

[titanium9000]

Yeah, I believe this is just called Drum Duet. The end of their solo leads into the song "Los Endos" from A Trick of the Tail.

[tapsX3]

The coordination to do this is unmatched

[Drummer3103]

They are the best drummers in the world!
