Phil Collins Reviews

Maggie Pusztay from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

PHIL COLLINS IS THE ULTIMATE ENTERTAINER!!!

I'm still in disbelief that I was lucky enough to go to see Phil Collins in concert! My hubby surprised me with tickets to his Not Dead Yet Las Vegas show at the MGM! We're from Calgary, Canada so we flew in a day before just to be sure we'd make it there. Despite being in obvious pain from recent back surgery - he walked on stage slowly and used a cane - he rocked the house while sitting down the whole time! His music is timeless, his voice is still amazing and he comes off as a loveable, kind and generous man. Kudos also to his 17-year-old son Nicholas who played drums (total chip off the old block!) and piano in a duet with his dad. Thank you Phil for giving me the concert of my life! If I ever have the chance to see you again I will, again and again!

PHIL COLLINS LAS VEGAS

What an awesome performance! Phil Collins has always been an inspiration but to witness and hear him still giving 100% in spite of physical limitations made him that much more inspiring! He sounded great, the band was awesome, his son on drums was ridiculously good at age 17 and the audience was into the show from the first note. We've been waiting all our life, take me home, Oh, Lord! Thank you for the memories.

Derryn Ward from Las Vegas, Nevada

BRILLIANT

Went to his concert in Oakland 2 days ago. AMAZING! His son clearly inherited his talent. The whole band is upbeat and Phil is incredibly good!!!! I will watch him again in a heartbeat !!!!

PHIL COLLINS 'NOT DEAD YET' AT THE FORUM 10/28/18

What an amazing night of music with the legendary Phil Collins. I last saw him in Boston 10 years ago when he did a 1/2 hour drum solo. Although he has given up his sticks and turned them over to his phenomenal 17 yr old son, this guy does not disappoint. Singing hits from his days with Genesis to his solo albums he had the crowd on their feet all night. A fantastic back up group of singers and musicians rounded out this completely fantastic night. Although he said Los Angeles was his last stop on the US tour, I hope he will continue despite his back issues. Sitting in a chair singing last night did nothing to diminish his incredible sound. Well worth the expensive ticket price and happy to be up front and personal. ( I'd give a rating of 6 if I could)

Phil’s voice is still pristine & powerful. Loved every second of this show! It was a dream concert & it did not dissappoint. His son on drums made it pretty special. This was one of my top concerts of my life. I feel so lucky to have been able to witness all that magic.

PHIL COLLINS- “NOT DEAD YET” TOUR, ORACLE ARENA

Phil Collins is not the performer of yesteryear due to a rapid deterioration of his health yet the crooner still has “the voice” that is unmistakably the man behind the legend. I was shocked and saddened to see this happening to one of the music industries all time greats. Phil’s voice is rich yet he appeared to tire towards the end of his hit song set. Still a remarkable performance, his band of incredibly talented singers and musicians manage to successfully fill in for any deficits in Phil’s capability. Had I not believed that Phil still loves what he does, I would have been inclined to carry him off the stage and provide some rest and comfort. I can only imagine how fulfilling it must be for Phil to be able to perform along side his son, Nic, and watch him transform into such a talented drummer/musician himself. I hope that Nic carries on the legacy of his obviously proud father. The concert was highly entertaining and Oracle Arena provides a venue that does not disappoint.

PHIL IN L.A.

50 years and still singing with the same strength, timing, and heart! Incredible to see him in person live. The talent around him was top notch. Quality show all the way through. A pleasure to have had the opportunity to see such an awesome musician. I hope he returns with a Genesis Tour!!!

PHIL & NIC--I'D BEEN WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT FOR ALL MY LIFE

How can I possibly describe seeing Phil Collins for the first time? It's like being in a choir, led by a masterful director, and we're all trying to sing at the top of our lungs to feel the spirit of the music. That's pure musical pleasure. I have wanted to see him since he first came to Genesis, through his band days and solo jaunts, and now to have taken my daughter to share in the moment meant more to me than I can fully articulate. P.S. We were so impressed with the Arena district. Even though it took hours to get there from the Kalamazoo, MI area, it was so worth it. Kudos, Columbus!

Female fan from Columbus, Ohio

AMAZING SHOW IN COLUMBUS

Phil Collins voice is amazing. The show was great even though he could not walk around or play the drums. Really enjoyed the back up vocalists & the sax player. His 17 year son on the drums was incredible, very gifted musician. I wish that I had been able to see the show in Cleveland on Thursday night as well. The show was well worth it

Darcy from Montreal, Quebec

PHIL COLLINS

He was on my wife’s and my bucket list and we did not leave disappointed. He still has that aura about himself that amazes a person. His voice was awesome and the band was simply awesome. I would highly recommend this concert to anyone!

5 STARS FOR GOOD SHOW

Okay long time Genesis and Phil fan. Last saw him 2007 Genesis Reunion in Hartford CT and MSG. Show was great but can’t help but to feel like I wanted him to throw the cane away and play the drums. Voice clearly struggled from time to time but somehow got stronger as the night went on. Highlight for me was 3 Genesis tunes which literally made me tear up. Nic is a fine drummer but not yet Chester or Phil. You can certainly hear this but also knowing the art of drumming, tell by the complexity of his kit or the lack there of. Hoping by some miracle, Collins who’ clearly is an older 67 then he should be can continue to improve and bring Genesis back together. I applaud him for standing during “In the air tonight”.

Mike Massimino from Connecticut

OUTSTANDING!!

Phil was basically the soundtrack to my childhood, with Genesis and his solo stuff with one of my favorite songs of all time in the air tonight especially when Miami Vice came out one of my favorite TV shows of all time it just brought it all back. Phil was always a phenomenal performer even ithough he was confined to sitting down because of his physical ailments he was just as entertaining as ever.Personally if it was up to me I would’ve picked a couple of better Genesis songs for him to play but hey,It’s all good. It was a great concert and if he comes back to Brooklyn again I am there. Phil Collins, thank you for the amazing show in Brooklyn with you were 15 piece band who were all incredible including his 17-year-old drummer son who knocked it out of the park. Hope Phil comes back with this exact bed because they were fantastic. If they do,don’t miss it!!!

Karen from Prudential Newark

SIMPLY AMAZING!!

Been waiting forever to see Phil ❤️🎶🎶. Well worth the wait 👍🏻😁. His voice is the same, spot on!! The entire band and Nick, u ppl were outstanding. Can’t wait to see him again!!

Jim O'brien from Newark, NJ

FANTASTIC SHOW

While Phil's health has taken a toll on his body, it hasn't affected his music, his wit and his amazing connection with his audience. He and his all-star band packed the Prudential Center in Newark last night and everyone lucky enough to be in attendance witnessed an amazing performance by Phil, his band and his very talented back-up singers. We also were introduced to his 17-year-old son, Nicholas, who clearly inherited his dad's drumming talent. The song list included tunes that spanned nearly 40 years, with a few Genesis hits interspersed. Despite having to sit during most of the show, Phil put on a show that high energy and rousing. It was great to see him on stage again after so long.

Lori from New Jersey

PHIL COLLINS

The show was terrific. Phil still sounded fantastic. His son was truly amazing.on the drums. It was probably the best concert I ever attended.

Sharron from Calgary

AMAZING AND EMOTIONAL

This guy here is what you call an ENTERTAINER’ even though he’s not as physically fit as he used to be the man has definitely still got what it takes,I applaud this man for getting up on that stage despite his f****d foot and delivering an amazing show,I have literally ‘waited all of my life’ for this and I was not dissappointed,I think I cried for the most part lol...like a teenage girl seeing her idol...my only wish is that I could do it all again....well done me Collins you were fantastic and ur entourage were amazing too 👏👏👏

Linds S from Boston, Massachusetts

WORTH THE 20 YEAR WAIT

It’s been 20 years since I saw Phil and he was worth the wait. What a night. Great music. Great to see his son behind the drums set.

Phils 17 year old son nick is a chip off the old block on the drums and piano, you did your dad proud! Phils voice sounds as great as ever stay healthy phil we love you !

Melissa from Boston, Massachusetts

NOT DEAD YET IS RIGHT!

He may not be able to drum and he may not be able to walk around stage, but none of that mattered, His voice, presence, and band were amazing! I'd see him 100 more times...I Love Phil Collins!

Henry E. Wilson from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

PHIL COLLINS ID DEFINITELY NOT DEAD YET

Saw the show with my wife last night (8-Oct-2018) in Philly - WOW, Amazing, Superb, etc. and his son - Nicolas - At 17 he's amazing on the drums and you could see a proud papa on the same stage.

LMB from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

FANTASTIC PHIL COLLINS

Show was great. Phil still has it. His son was fantastic. The sound was great and the 3 screens really gave you a close up view. Well worth the money spent.

Pamela from Baltimore, Maryland

PHENOMENAL PERFORMER AS ALWAYS!!

I saw Phil in the 80's and he was an amazing performer then. Played most of the instruments on stage; could barely see him with the flying drum sticks! Last night, although it was hard to see him be challenged physically, he put together a GREAT performance! The stage set up was on point, back up singers, comedy, and NIC - WOW, what a set up to follow in your Dad's footsteps. If you're this good at 17, he'll be proud to watch you surpass him. A show to NOT MISS! Everyone on their feet for 'In the Air!'

Theresa from Fort Lauderdale

PHIL COLLINS

Incredible show, was on my bucket list, did not disappoint. His voice remains solid and even sitting, he is a superb entertainer. Wish I could do it again. Loved that he sang, no gimmicks, just kept you energized with great memories!!

Don Chapman from Lakeland, Florida

I WOULD GIVE IT 6STARS IF POSSIBLE

An early aging Phil lumbered out on the stage, cane in hand, sat down and entertained a sold out crowd with a string of hits not many other artists can match. His voice was crisp, the band was excellent and his son on drums was phenomenal. Having just read his book by the same name, “Not Dead Yet”, the concert held a bit more meaning for me as I knew the back story of when and why most of the songs were written. Very very good concert. I think it falls just short of Paul McCartney, and that is pretty good company to be in!

Adriana Pianetti from Boston, Massachusetts

SUPER!!!

Onde of the best show I’ve ever seen. Not to be missed!!!

Rob Hampton from Dallas, Texas

DALLAS CONCERT

Thank you Phil Collins for a wonderful time. You took me back to my childhood and in way no other artist could ever do. It felt like the 80’s all over again. I took my 21 yr old daughter with me and she was singing right along with you. We promised to meet up again on Sept. 23, 2051 and do nothing but listen to Phil Collins music. Thanks for the memories.

Greg Gentry from Dallas, Texas

GREAT SHOW

Wow! First time to see him. I've always enjoyed his music as a solo artist but enjoyed Genesis too. He put on a Great Show. If I had the opportunity to see this show again, I'd do it in a Heartbeat! His voice still sounds great. The band done a Great job. His 18 yr old son has obviously inherited Dads musical talents. The guy can tear up the drums and the piano too!

Gail L. from Dallas, Texas

PHIL COLLINS - NOT DEAD YET

Phil's voice is still fantastic before a sold out audience. Fabulous show - what stamina he has even though he must be in pain. So cool that his son is the drummer! Did all the best songs, interacted with audience appropriate amount and staging was spectacular. The brass section was superb.

Nancy Bailey from Charlotte, North Carolina

FANTASTIC CONCERT

Phil Collins is definitely "Not Dead Yet". He sat for most of the concert, but sang his heart out. His sense of humor is wild. The band, the lighting and overall effects were awesome. I don't think anyone in the audience ever sat down. His son, Nick, is only 18, but is great on the drums. The duet of Phil and Nick was inspiring!!!!!

Nancy Wofford from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

PHIL COLLINS PITTSBURGH

So excited to hear this concert.....it was awesome. Phil Collins was in great voice, the band was superior, the vocalists energetic and his son an upcoming talent like his father. Truly an inspiring evening for those of us who remember Phil Collins in his early years. Nothing has changed!

Debra from New York, New York

THERE ARE NO WORDS

This show makes you laugh, cry, dance. LEGEND. NOT TO BE MISSED.

Wanda Peacock from Omaha, Nebraska

LOVED PHIL IN OMAHA!!!

This concert was wonderful. Well worth the drive from Kansas City. Phil and his team have done a masterful job of making the concert full of excitement to the point it didn't matter if Phil was sitting or not. We could tell how much he still loves performing . In The Air Tonight was great and his son Nicholas is one of the best drummers we've ever heard. It was a great night!! Phil, his backup singers and band can be very proud of the show they put on!!!!

Judith from Denver, Colorado

AMAZING SHOW, WORTH THE PRICE!

Phil Was amazing. I was skeptical of the reviews, but wow. Not to be missed, If you have a chance to see him- DO IT!

Brent Green from Denver, Colorado

IN SPITE OF A DISABILITY LIMITING HIS MOBILITY, PHIL STILL ROCKS

Phil Collins is a determined artist who is transforming into a metaphor for the miracle and majesty of active aging

Marty from Las Vegas, Nevada

THE HITS KEEP COMING ALL NIGHT

A perfect concert. His backup band and singers have been performing together for 40 years. The sequencing of the songs keeps the audience engaged and rocking out. He’s a major talent, a great songwriter, and despite his disabilities amazing to watch. I started seeing concerts with the Beatles and have seen so many great acts. But Phil is at the top of my list. A joy to watch.

from Louisville, Kentucky

A GREAT EVENING EVEN IN NOSEBLEED HEAVEN

We thoroughly enjoyed Phil Collins and were even more impressed at how great he sounded despite his physical limitations (he was never a dancer, so who cared). His supporting cast (the band, the backup singers, and his son on the drums) were incredible and added a great deal to the show. The highlight of the show for me was the duet of Separate Lives and the duo Phil did with his son as he played the piano. What a wonderful and magical evening. I would suggest adding You'll be in my heart as an encore piece, but other than that this was awesome!!!

Ken from Boston, Massachusetts

HE STILL HAS IT.

Great show. It was sad to see his health deteriorating when we all remembered how animated he use to be in the 80’s and 90’s. He did his best. The band was excellent. Nick Collins is awesome. He stole the show. I can’t imagine how good this kid is gonna be when he’s 30! He’s a powerhouse on the drums. Get healthier Phil, we are all routing for you.

Mark Goodspeed from San Francisco, California

COULD HAVE DONE MORE FROM THE GENESIS CATALOG

Not that I would expect that he would do Super's Ready but more songs from the early period of Genesis would have been nice.

Max from New York, New York

NOT BAD

Put his heart and soul into the performance. Can’t ask for more . Brass and vocals excelled drums didn’t wow me . Not sure if a 17 Y/O although this son should have played the whole performance. Expensive venue should have had the best available play .
