Gabriel was definitely a better frontman than Phil. Just watch the Sledgehammer video from So tour and compare it to the Genesis Wembley show from the same year. No comparison. Phil also never wore costumes on stage, Peter did.
I don’t understand why we didn’t get full video of this. Was it a copyright issue? So strange. I’m a Genesis fan from 1980 on and Phil solo fan. Is it me or does Phil look huge here? His face looks so round and puffy. I saw his Final Farewell tour in 2094 and he didn’t look this big. It kind of took me back a bit. Maybe he was on steroids for his throat again? Just curious.
I think this era is a real peak for them in terms of these kind of special live performances. Think also of the Canal + performances of Kid A / Amnesiac songs.
