Genesis - "Mama" - Foxboro Stadium - 1992-05-28 - (Last time played until 1998) 

Favourite Genesis song and was gutted that they didn’t perform it 31/7/92 in Leeds. Phil’s having a bit of a time with it here and can see why they dropped it. Voice killer.

Phil seems uncomfortable singing this... I remember an interview with Phil for the Invisible Touch Tour him saying he found'Mama' & Tonight, Tonight, Tonight vocally challenging and a strain on his voice perfoming this every night. So i wasn't surprised that Tonight, Tonight, Tonight was shortened and joined to Invisible Touch and Mama was dropped completely. The We Can't Dance Tour was a long tour and Phil was older. But he did perform Mama for the Turn it on Again Tour (much shorter tour ) and the band did lower the Key to save Phil's voice. Tonight was kept the same with Invisible Touch. Amazing Drummer / Singer was Phil 😊

He did a pretty good job, but it was sensible to drop it considering the long set list that tour. It's in the original key which is pretty up there throughout. The much lower key of recent times gave it a very dark vibe!

Great footage! I can understand now why they dropped it. Phil was really having trouble with the high notes. It’s a shame at the time they didn’t even contemplate lowering the key a half-step.

Lightman, you magnificent bastard, you've done it again!

Grazie per avermi riportato indietro a quel bellissimo concerto.. grazie ai Genesis,sempre nel mio ❤️

Amazing footage, thanks for that! But now I can understand why they dropped it from the set list. Phil was really struggling with his voice.

Mike Rutherford always stunning out his lead guitar duties wheyyy

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for posting this! 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟 I was at this concert and seeing this footage of, what I thought, a MAGNIFICENT show of my favorite band, is PRICELESS ! Thank you! No one around me knew there were technical issues. We just all thought it was a variation to the recording just as most live performances are. No one mentioned or complained of Phil struggling with his voice either. Remember, these were the days before the internet so we didn't have comparisons unless we had access to bootlegs or other live recordings. The video screens was also a new thing and we were thrilled! So cool! Like watching a movie! My seats weren't great either so those screens were an extra special treat for me. 🥰 I read your replies to others that this is all you have but I'm crossing fingers that someday you will come across more footage of this show. THANK YOU AGAIN! For the video and all the interesting information regarding the performance and the song. HUGE KUDOS & HUGS ❤💥🤜🏻🤛🏼

This is utterly fantastic!!😁 You said this was for Genesis fans. And I am one of the hardcore ones.😁 Thank you so much for posting this. For years all we had was the crappy audience recording. But this is top-notch in every way. Also quick note. I can see why they dropped the song now. Phil was struggling for some reason through the whole song. He was having a hard time with the highs.

Pure gold!! Thank U!!!♡

That´s exactly the kind of Genesis-rarity, I was always hoping are gonna emerge somewhere over time. Thank you so much !

I can't believe it, this is pure gold, so rare!! Thank you from the deep of my heart❤

Thank you for sharing this gem 💎

finally, ive been looking for video footage of them performing this in ‘92 for ages and now its here.. thank you!!

Wow wow wow!!! 🤯 Thank you soooo much! Amazing! Never thought this would ever happen.

I was at the Miami show a week before. Genesis did Mama that night too. Thanks for sharing!! Subbed!

Es el mas grande, por momentos resurge de sus propias cenizas!!!!!!! Que par de huevos!!

Completely understandable dropping this, it was a hard tour vocally I’d imagine, No son….., Driving the last spike, dreaming why you sleep.

Feel really privileged to have seen both Mama & TTT in all their glory @Wembley ‘87. Totally understand them dropping these voice rippers.

What a pro. Phil knows he's struggling to hit parts and adjusts as best he can.

Thanks, David! I never imagined such a recording would exist! Amazing to see them performing this in 1992!

Wow!! This amazing, thanks for uploading this 😀

He performed this in Dallas too. Glad I got to see it then. Thanks for posting this footage !!!

Sensacional!! Parabéns pela postagem, amo esta versão mesmo com as falhas na voz do Phil.

Wow thanks for this gem! Greay audio quality! Good performance with strange keyboard problems by Tony

I saw this tour in Washington, DC earlier this same month, and this was the one song I wanted to hear more than anything. Sadly, they didn’t perform it that night. But as it was my first time seeing Genesis live in concert, I forgave them and had a BLAST anyway. 15th row, dead center on the floor. Slept out all night just to get tickets. Those were the days… 🔥🎸🥁

Fantastic!!!! I’ve finally got to see the footage of this song!!!! I knew it would have great graphics as it showed them in the invisible series notebook!!! Thank you!!! Awesome

Thank you! Saw them at Giants Stadium USA June 1992 and sadly they did not play Mama.

Precious stuff!! Love it❣️Been a die hard fan since the seventies. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏

0:33 - what happened, Tony? :D

Nice to finally see and more hear it. Thanks so much for sharing

I was there, fantastic show as always!! Unfortunately because of my age it was the first time I saw them live but me and my sister have traveled extensively to see them since, including Helsinki Montreal and the left coast USA and the last two shows at the O2 in London

Awesome - way cool to see! Thanks for posting! Was there ever a soundboard recording of this show?

Must have been cold that night. Both Phil and Chester wearing sweaters!

Nuestro querido Phil en este concierto, estaba saliendo de una fuerte infección. Prácticamente hizo un gran esfuerzo aquí. Él debió descanzar aún. Pero fue leal a su público. Phil siempre fue sensible al frio. Y aquí estan todos abrigados. Solo ver al gran Chester Thompson con mangas larga, es más que suficiente. GENESIS BAND!!! GENESIS FAMILY!!! FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER!!! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Worked this show as a High School Junior, with the North Attleboro band! In the BEER GARDEN in the endzone. Always cracked me up that they trusted us, but it was indeed a different time 😉

Thanks for sharing!!

El último can you feel My heart es mortal

I've been wondering for a very, VERY long time what were the screen visuals during this song for the 1992 tour. Now I finally know! Interesting choice of using a keylock! The only other video footage I had seen of this song being performed before was from the Opening Night documentary that showed a very short snippet of it being performed on the very first show of the tour, but the screens only showed the cameras without any effects, which matches the visuals on this during that bit of the song.

THANK YOU ENFIN TROUVER MAMA 😉👍

This footage is amazing! If you have the rest of the show we’d all love to see it! Any chance you’d be able to put this onto the movement too??

I was at this show!!! Awesome!!!!

Thanks once again, this is amazing, new dimension stuff.

Pure Prog genius…..

❤💯❌💯

Good they ended up replacing this tune in the setlist. However, as a singer, I TOTALLY respect what Phillip performed here; I think he kicked ass and pulled it off quite well for a 40+ year old man! God bless Phil Collins, I say!

Wow, thanks for the upload, I just realized my first genesis show was the day after this, montreal may 29.... Poor collins, struggling with the voice, and the lead synclavier sound, probaby a bad midi transmission, I can understand their decision, it must had been quick and easy to throw mama out the window......

i was there.

wonderful. Thanks! Do you know why only this song was recorded from screens that night ? What was the initial purpose ?

Didn;t seem to be the full lighting rig either.

I wonder which other track it took the place of in the set list 🤔

they had a good idea not to keep this version with Mike (not a great solo ) and not great vocals vs the other versions

Glad Genesis did go and throw this in the waste can, and took Collins stupid tongue thing with it. 1983 was the only year they kicked ass on this song.

Phil's voice was bad because he was still feeling the affects of a cold from earlier in the month. The May 17th show in Tampa was cancelled because Phil was sick.
