5.0 out of 5 stars It's Phil's Show!, Oct 23 2003

Ce commentaire est de: Serious Hits ... Live! (Audio CD)

"Serious Hits Live" documents Phil Collins' tour for his 1989 album, "But Seriously." As promised, this live album has Phil performing his biggest hits, including "You Can't Hurry Love," "Sussudio," "One More Night," "Easy Lover," and "Take Me Home." Phil proves for all to hear what a dynamic performer he & his band are live in concert. His earth-shattering performance of "In The Air Tonight" alone makes this CD worth getting, but overall this is a fabulous live set. It's Phil's show all the way, and you're invited! Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Way He Walks", Sep 15 2003

Ce commentaire est de: Serious Hits ... Live! (Audio CD)

Phil Collins does live performances of his non-Genesis hits on this album. The title of this review was inspired by the two live albums following his band Genesis' WE CAN'T DANCE album. Phil promotes his BUT SERIOUSLY album on this recording. This album opens with a BUT SERIOUSLY track,SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO HEAVEN. Then comes,from the Jeff Bridges-Rachel Ward movie of the same name,AGAINST ALL ODDS. Other BUT SERIOUSLY tracks are ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE and DO YOU REMEMBER?. From NO JACKET REQUIRED are SUSSUDIO,ONE MORE NIGHT,DON'T LOSE MY NUMBER,TAKE ME HOME and WHO SAID I WOULD?. From FACE VALUE is IN THE AIR TONIGHT. From HELLO I MUST BE GOING is a cover of YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE. There are three other showtunes,SEPARATE LIVES from the 1985 movie "White Nights", and TWO HEARTS and a cover of A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE from "Buster",which Phil made his film debut in. There's also EASY LOVER,minus Earth Wind & Fire's Philip Bailey. The studio version of EASY LOVER was a duet of Bailey and Collins on Bailey's CHINESE WALL album.

Ce commentaire est de: Serious Hits ... Live! (Audio CD)

As good as Phil Collins' solo albums can be, they often contain no small amount of "filler", and the slick, glossy production on records like "Face Value" and "No Jacket Required" makes them seem somewhat dated.

But this live album remedies some of that. Although no-one can accuse Phil Collins' horn-laden pop music of being 'gritty', it nevertheless sounds a little more genuine and less over-produced, and the track list is very strong, including almost all of Collins' best songs of the 80s:
The spooky "In The Air Tonight" is here, as is "Take Me Home", "Separate Lives", "A Groovy Kind Of Love" and several others.

There is still too much synth on tracks like "Against All Odds" (an otherwise superb ballad) and "One More Night", but that's what Collins' music is like, and "Serious Hits...Live" remains a good, solid collection of adult pop songs.
