Such a stellar band, the likes of which we just don't see anymore. Between Thompson's drumming, Stuermer's thrilling electric guitar, Collins' vocals, background singers, Sklar's effortless bass, fantastic horn section, keyboards....still ranks as one of the best live performances ever. Hands down.Thank you, Mr. Collins and Company, for gracing us mortals with such brilliance. Stuff of dreams.
Jeff Conway Agreed. I bought the album just for this song. All the other songs are bonuses, but this then "take me home" as a 1 - 2 punch? Yeah... They had to of had a premonition that the b-side was gonna be the side most heavily spun.
What about sklars bass fills? Us bass players miss the credit yet again.I thought that was a thing of the past now the electric bass has stepped up the front for many years ie Mark king etc.
I was at this concert with my then girlfriend Angelica from Gutersloh. It was an amazing concert, I remember this song and especially take me home at the end, the emotion in the air generated by Phil was amazing plus that period in German history felt like life was amazing. But having said that I did not fully appreciate how good Phil and his band was and how lucky I was to see them. I also did not realise how lucky I was to be with Angelica at that time. We parted that year and I’ve often thought of her and I only hope life has been kind to her. I still feel like she is sat next to me when I watch this video. I still love you in that moment Angelica and it appears I always will. I hope you are happy somewhere out there ❤
A pesar de que en genesisnsu trabajo como musico de show es infravalorado por el trabajo eso no desvaloriza su esfuerzo,para mi steve como daryl tiene el mismo respeto son distincion del uno del otro
I’m getting my first Fender for Christmas (total beginner) & the great Angus Young (AC/DC) & Daryl Stuermer are the 2 guitar geniuses who are my inspiration
Phil Collins is one of the best song writers we have ever produced. Those who think otherwise must be ignorant to that fact. You don't get to build a band of musicians and backing singers like this unless you've earned respect from these people and your peers. Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, Peter Gabriel, Pete Townshend, Anni Frid, Quincy Jones and many more have asked and worked with Mr Collins over the years. This live version of this underrated album song but big fan liked song goes to show how tight and sublime his music and performances are. I'd like to think the big artists and producers of today (Mark Ronson, Adele, Rick Rubin, Lady Gaga, Nile Rodgers, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran) know how influential Phil Collins' music has been ❤️✌️
Not bad for an artist that did not have an original propensity to be a lead singer; A friend of mine saw Genesis at Grand Valley St. (Michigan's Ottawa County) in the mid 70s, Phil was the unknown drummer.
At 5:01-5:03 the look on Phil’s face gets me every time. Yes Daryl is mine, yes he’s playing his ASS off, and no…he never misses a note. Now throw in Chester accenting the solo and it’s pure magic. Hence the “musician to musician” moment of Phil and Leland grinning at the power Daryl is unleashing. Pure magic
This concert on dvd is incredibly tight. Thompson,Sklar,Stuermer are super musicians. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched my copy. All camera angles several times. It’s a must see if any of you haven’t.
This song always gives me chills. It's 5 am. in Glen Ellyn illinois where i live. Reminds me of LOVE. I'm BLASTING THIS RIGHT NOW. Baby you got me inside out.
Very very underrated tune. Phil been fighting many battles medically recent years. God bless you, wrapping his hands, healing hands sir .. legend, good soul.
This is one of the best drum songs of all time. I liked that he stuck with the same musicians on a lot of his tours, Daryl and Chester almost always toured with him when he toured with Genesis or solo. They were also in Brand X.
Just getting into Phil Collins and Genesis, it's like a brand new universe. Anything I should check out to get started? Can't stop listening to this one
Phil's early 1st solo album is great. If you haven't already, check out I Don't Care Anymore and Like China. Great songs! Genesis live The Way We Walk, has many great hits. Listen to Driving The Last Spike....great historical story of the railroads being built.......
easily one of his best, even though it wasn't released as a single it made it to number 9 on the rock charts. Musically, top ten songs of his. love the Sax and guitar solo and of course the drums.
Everyone has their peak... here's one. I hope he enjoyed every second of it! Getting older is a set of other challenges, young ... its all handed to you! If you are young reading this and feel down about something, STOP IT! Get up off ass and get out THERE and LIVE!! GO!!!!!!!
Chester Thompson is a beast. His drumming on Driving the Last Spike live at Knebworth is one for the ages. Of course he was playing Collins part bur still.
Wow, this is a GREAT live version. I'm someone who tends to be underwhelmed by live renditions because they are modified and don't fit my image of the original album version, but this one sounds great.
This is what I call Rock & Roll with a hefty dose of "Precision Soul" and a tincture of "Bad Ass Groove" to round it all out. My favorite spot starts at 3:32
