It was about time. Mad props to Phil hanging in there, despite all his health problems.

"he was the one shouting that he wanted to hear 'Supper's Ready'".

lol Phil's still got great humor.

Gonna spin Easy Lover in celebration/commemoration (even though it's solo Phil Collins)

Rest easy, kings

An intentional closure is a fine way to go

woahhhh is that what phil looks like now. not to be rude. RIP band

Legends! I don't think I ever stopped listening to either Genesis, Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel (he was at the show btw, great stuff)

Phil looks rough

Charlie Benante (Anthrax) said he cried when he saw him on stage.

reading the 'health' section of his wiki and man, dude's been through it

glad they went out on their own terms

wow I wouldve have loved to have seen that acoustic set + encore. def would have cried

Farewell to these legends

Holy shit these guys are still performing? I respect the hell out of that.

well not anymore, no

yea phil looks old for a 70 year old

Seriously....All good things have an end

*tears*

Genesis were by far the best band in the world, as I used to say when I was a teenager, some decades ago.

are you telling me they DIDN'T finish with "That's All"?

Reunion confirmed

Just watched some footage of Invisible Touch (which wasn't acoustic btw) and it was severely tuned down so Phil could hit the notes. Somewhat sad to see and hear but you can't help to feel sympathy for the man's efforts.

Yeah last decade and a half has been rough on Phil health wise. Glad he got to go out on his own terms though.

they had to go some time, but this was the best way to go

thx for the music

Never easy seeing a legendary band end, even if I don't consider myself to be a fan of them. I will always be a defender of the Collins era though; that incarnation released some of the best pop-rock records of the 80s.

It couldn't have been easy for them to do this tour, especially Phil. Glad they went out on their own terms. Great band, in all incarnations!

wouldve been cool to see that fak

"I will always be a defender of the Collins era though; that incarnation released some of the best pop-rock records of the 80s."

Absolutely. There's lots of quality material in those records.

It's a damn shame Steve Hackett couldn't have been with them there.

the band was never the same band after Hackett left, really.

i like the weirder rock oriented stuff but there were some catchy ''genesis'' songs during the phil collins era, though really it seemed more like phil collins solo but with better musicians playing phil's songs.

after collins left the first time the band died completely. collins was the heart and soul of the band.

I think Genesis's music stayed relatively interesting but the lyrics just got more and more Phil lol, it can be hard to bear
fave era was Peter Gabriel's, not surprisingly, big fan of the three before Lamb. but RIP to a really cool, really influential band

even collins himself admits he got annoying in the 80's, he was everywhere lol

I saw them five days earlier in Amsterdam. Been a fan for what feels like most of my life, my parents loved the pop era (turned out, so did I) and I discovered the magic of the Gabriel records years later. Like too many people, I don't think they were particularly aware those even existed.

When they started Moonlit Knight, for a moment I hoped they'd be crazy enough to do the whole song, it being their last tour and all. Alas, no such luck. But I took any 70s material I could get, snippets or not. Pretty cool of Gabriel to be at this last concert too, despite him and Hackett having no interest in joining in.

Time obviously has not been kind to Phil, including his voice, but that didn't make the experience any less wonderful. The fact that I was actually able to go to a concert for the first time in more than two years certainly didn't hurt either. I dreamed I'd be able to see Genesis someday, never seriously considering it would ever happen. Never been so glad to have been wrong.

Lucky you, Nag. Thanks for your write-up. I'm for myself too young to have seen a show of Gabriel era, but I've seen them three times. For Duke, for Abacab and for ''Genesis''. Collins was top shape, and Chester Thompson was their second drummer. The rhythm section was impeccable. During those years, they used to play a lot of the Gabriel era. It was magical moments where memory can immortalize Collins in his top shape.

Genesis-Collins was a beast, probably his peak vocals.

Have to deal with the fact that I've never seen the band live.

Now those must have been real treats Jethro. You were too young for the Gabriel era, and I was too young for pretty much any of it ;)

Notrap, you're from Portugal if I recall? It's a real shame they didn't stop there for the European leg of the tour.

Shame indeed. My dad saw the 1975's Lamb tour and said it was one of the best shows ever. We had just gone through a revolution in Portugal and that gig was quite emblematic at the time. If I could choose, and owned a Delorean, that's the show I would have wanted to see.

Epic band for sure. Happy to see them close the book on their own terms.

Genesis and Phil Collins in general was on a lot in my house as well growing up. Respect for a great career
