"...Get well, soon?!?!?!" Replying from 2021. What was wrong with Phil? Why "Get Well?" (Caught COVID early, and am only now able to process what's going on in the world, over a year later. [COVID's a _bitch!_ Wear a mask!] Will Google Phil to see what's been up with him.
its funny how your love of a musician takes u from one post to another to then discover a classic like this. i mean i only came on youtube tonight to chec out nathan east and i go and discover this genesis gem
What a wonderful arrangement of a much loved Prog classic! Collins was terrific as was the great Mr. East using a 6 string bass there but Daryl Stuermer nailed it for me...what a fabulously under rated guitarist he is...superb!
Bassist Nathan East has played on literally hundreds of albums by musicians of every stripe over the course of an extremely successful career that dates back to his teenage years, when he played as part of Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. Source: Mix Online
If i was there, i could not stay in my chair and listen.. Stand up and dance audience. Some of my favorite Bands played in Montreux. Yes, Frank Zappa, and now I see the WDR BB with Genesis music. No question left, Genesis music is so great.
I remember watching Genesis playing this live and how beautiful it was. This arrangement with Conte’ and monster band is a dream concert I wish I could have been there. The arrangement is AWESOME. So glad we have this performance to enjoy.
I was lucky enough to meet Luis into a night bar in Lyon while he was touring with Collins in 1997 ; The guy invite me to come to the rehearsal the next day and because I couldn’t go to the show that’s night ; they offer me to come the Sunday in the arena of Genève Very nice people great memory ! Luis if you ever read this … Havana Cafe / Lyon Garcia’s por todos !
Absolutely great version! Perfect example of the musical quality of Jazz Rock /Fusion music in the 70s. Ever heard of Brand X with Phil Collins? Check it out... Even David Sanborn on Sax is in here!!! Wow.... but so sad Phil is sick, he is one of my all time best musicians (despite his solo era - joke)
juxtaposeism that was no joke It made me a fan due to his solo Phase along with many others I have just about all his songs n albums he's the greatest.
I think people forget that Phil's a drummer first, everyone should check out Brand X, his fusion band from the 70s their killer! I love this version of Los Endos!
I grew up listening to early Genesis, Deep Purple, Zeppelin etc, inc Brand X and I am also a drummer, and I can say that the average person doesn't have a clue that PC is not only a drummer, but one of the all time greats! He had that magic blend of technique, feel and perfect application that make for the best music. Brand X highlights his ability perfectly for me! Nuff said!
@@paulblanshard9336 Let's not forget Bill Bruford and his fusion group. The Feels Good to Me album is a masterpiece. Band mates Allan Holdsworth (amazing guitarist), Jeff Berlin (phenomenal bassist), and Dave Stewart (awesome on the keys) round out the mix.
Truly, very nice arrangement and played on a very high-end BB-level! Liked the percussion and drum section very much. Phil is damn good, and so is the rest of the WDR-BB!!
Esta canción bien de lo 70. que maravilla me trae mucha nostalgia porque lo escuchaba mi viejo. que dejo de existir, hoy con 49 años los sigo escuchando me encanta desde que tenía 6 o 7 años y lo fascinante de esto que mis dos hijos también les encantan Phil collins. 👏🇦🇷✌🤙❤
Thanks for posting this great performance! Phil is the Man! Nice to see Daryl Stuermer, Nathan East, and Luis Conte in there doing what they do best. I appreciate all the horn section...amazing!
Marky Marx I saw him with Genesis in the 70's on the Trick of The Tail tour - last stop on the show was Seattle. He did this thing with the tambourine- he'd toss it WAY up into the lights. Then catch it right on a punch. Do it again but kick it on an accent... catch it when it came down right on 1 to shake it as he sang. He could sing his ass off as well. Unreal.
Well, he came up studying and copying Buddy Rich. Neal Peart himself states that Phil epitomizes putting jazz values into prog drumming (Rhythm 2011), an article in which Peart pays tribute to Phil’s technique and ability to make any time signature swing and feel RIGHT. So - sorry, dude - your emotional hang-up doesn’t cut it as criticism. Besides, he’s played jazz parts on lots of non-jazz session work, and has a list of session jobs longer than anyone short of Steve Gadd. Fail.
absolutely incredible music. Had not PG left probably G would have never produced this timeless masterpiece. Thank god he left, thank god!!! I love the mexican trumpet twist, Los endos opens to so many variations on the theme, I never forget the first time I listened to it in 1975 WOW!! It is definitely the piece I always listen with much pleasure and it always puts me in a good mode. Thanks for broadcasting it!!!
Art is in the ears and eyes of the beholder and to say that one artist is better than another is just preposterous crap. While Dave Weckl is a monster on his ax he never moved me like Phi Collinsl. They each bring DIFFERENT styles for our appreciation. And man do they shine!
I never saw the comment someone must have made comparing Dave Weckl and Collins but there is a definite elitist attitude among certain drum geeks that says if you play in a famous band you can't possible be on the same level as someone who sticks in the jazz realm and plays music that say doesn't have vocals/lyrics, etc...The original tempo of Los Endos btw when Collins was much younger would challenge any drummer from any genre and more importantly Phil has always played the drums as a musician with a very musical ear; doesn't mean he doesn't have chops because he most certainly does and when the music calls for it they are on full display.
Funny to see Phil's drum kit for the big band being the same as his (then) usual kit, just with resonance heads on toms and 50s style outer coating. Looks great. Georgeous horn voicing and a great new inserted latin-style part starting at 6:50. Mucially this is pure perfection, but the best "Los Endos" version is still from the 1977 Genesis tour (just my taste). Phil Collins is and always was brilliant - he is self taught! Forget his 80s stuff. He had a chance to make money and took it. I would.
Oh wow! for anyone who still thinks that Phil Collins is just a singer, check out this "big band" live recording of a classic Genesis track "Los Endos". No vocals, just the the talent of the musicians - plus, of course Phil (& Luis) stunning rhythm backing. So many people do not realise he was a drummer first (but actually he was a child actor even before that - he played the Artful Dodger in the London west end production of "Oliver".
and Daryl Stuermer on guitar! That was cathartic. The solo's were blowin', the arrangement reminded me of some -and might be another - of the great Quincy Jones greats with some incredible intermezzi, and it almost sounded like the sweet mellotron made a return guest appearance ('round 10:30 ) . I think this became one of my favorite performances of the tune of all time and a favorite I'm addin' now. Got me hand drumming and singing the recorded line 'There's an angel standing in the sun, free to get back home!'
I'm Higg, Higg Abb. I'm from another star system currently on vacation on planet earth (Minudbb we call it) and I can tell you: all music is timeless. These days on earth you can really appreciate that.
Phil Collins is for me! Is one of the best that crosses that primal line. When I was in that crazy time of holabaloo and the new rock english invasion .Yeh on tv in my parents house. My dad looked at me. And smilled. He new where I was headed. Oh yeh that devil music. 👏👍👹😱😎🖖
East has recorded, performed and co-written songs with Anita Baker, Babyface, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Kenny Loggins, and Herbie Hancock. He co-wrote the Number one hit song “Easy Lover” for Phil Collins and Philip Bailey. He performed on the Grammy award winning Unplugged album with Eric Clapton which featured the classic song “Tears In Heaven”(1992). Source: Fourplay
amazing to see how phil collins has improved in his style over the years since 'another day in paradise' times! he used to play with those drumsticks with no 'tips' on them (?), and straight ballad stuff
+MorbidManMusic absolutely. Love both and Phil (IMHO) doesn't get the credit he deserves, at least as the very inventive and "at ease" drummer he is/was. My wild guess is that the finest drummers in the world now come from a gospel music background. Many of these guys are unknown to the "general" public, but they have insane skills and versatility. Just random examples: Larnell Lewis (Snarky Puppy), Steve Williams (his Benny Greb tribute outdoes the original), Chris Coleman, Tony Royster Jr......., Tons of the great "known" drummers now are heavily inspired by these guys. And of course I'd place Gavin and Vinnie at least somewhere at the top.
For those who are drummers out there and who are not initiated in the PC world of drumming, check out Zappa Roxy and Elsewhere for a preview of what came later. Chester Thompson and Ralph Humphrey drum duet were fantastic together. CT/RH & CT/PC are the two greatest drum duets of all time! PC knew what he was doing employing Chester. Two drummers playing together need to be sympathetic to each other and give each other space. Same with guitarists. The fill on Zappa's 'More Trouble Everyday' Is a classic and is repeated in 'Aftergow! on the 'Seconds Out' live album! Listen and learn!
