In October 1983 Genesis released their 13th album, simply titled Genesis , before the band went on an extended tour through North America. After that they played five shows in England – and no gigs at all in mainland Europe. Mike Rutherford explained that there were very few venues in England that could accommodate the installation of the gigantic lightshow. The musicians held it against the mainland Europeans that they had not received their previous albums and the 1981 tour in particular with full enthusiasm. Genesis had toured Europe almost every year; they had become something of a fixture, and so they apparently decided to make themselves a bit rarer in order not to reach the point of public non-interest. This decision was rather regrettable because the shows they offered was indeed special. There were no changes in the line-up which still consisted of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer, but the new light show was top notch. The lighting equipment filled more than two of the five trucks that carried the whole setup; it was worth more than $4m (at the exchange rates of the time). It weighed an enormous 30 tons. The light show was based on Varilites, as on previous tours. These special stage lights can emit 60 different colours and switch from one colour to another in 0.1 seconds. At the same time diameter and intensity of the light beam can be varied at will, and the spot can be turned 360 degrees in all dimensions.  Under the supervision of Alan Owen, who had been a light engineer with Genesis for many years, six equilateral triangles were built and hung with 200 Varilites that were put together in the shape of a giant hexagon above the stage. The breathtaking effects that were created with this made the enormous efforts worthwhile – in fact, the effects are so impressive they are almost impossible to put into words. Not only the space above the stage had interesting novelties, but the placing of the musicians on the stage was remarkable, too, and a departure for the band. For never before and never again did it happen that Tony Banks’ keyboards were set up in the middle of the stage. The audience would traditionally see Tony on the right side of the stage. It is not sure why he moved to the centre, but a view from above may provide a clue: The musicians were played roughly in another hexagon (rear left: Chester, rear right: Phil’s drumkit, rear centre: Tony’s keyboard; front left: Mike; front right: Daryl, front centre: Phil) matching the pattern of the lights.

GENESIS RADIO INTERVIEW SPECIALS – Various Dates

As with the NO JACKET REQUIRED TOUR, I don’t know of any pre-FM shows from this tour, and Simon’s Movement site does not list any. In fact, there are no FM broadcasts or simulcasts listed there either for this tour with the exception of the below listed Pay-Per-View stereo simulcast.

It appears that the closest thing to a professional recording of a show from this tour is the official vhs, laserdisc and dvd release seriously live in berlin, which captured the entire show from an outdoor venue known as the waldebuehne in berlin, germany. (a scan of the dvd cover from my personal collection appears in the gallery.), that said, there are also numerous soundboard recordings from this tour in circulation, as listed on simon’s site. the best of these are two shows – one from the sydney entertainment centre in melbourne, australia and the second from the yoygogi olympic pool in tokyo, japan. each of these recordings contain most, if not all, of the performances from those nights. (the japan soundboard is slightly incomplete, but the sydney show is the full set.), other than those two shows, and a few other soundboard recordings, there appear to be no other “non-audience” recordings from this tour, but part of me believes that there must be some pre-fm show(s) out there somewhere. if you have any information regarding pre-fm shows from this tour, please contact me ., here is the info on the pay-per-view concert simulcast:.

But Seriously New York!:

Pay-per-view cable tv broadcast and krqr radio san francisco, california fm stereo simulcast, recorded live at madison square garden, new york – 2 october 1990, original broadcast – 2 october 1990, fm stereo simulcast.

Simulcast across the U.S. on numerous FM radio stations on the final night of the BUT SERIOUSLY WORLD TOUR , this concert was simultaneously broadcast as a Pay-Per-View special. While there has been some confusion about the exact date of this concert, some believing it was actually 3 October 1990 in part because Phil’s own website listed that date, it has been confirmed through multiple sources – of which I am one – that the exact show date was 2 October 1990. Partial confirmation came in the form of the notes I took on the night of the recording, which I dated as 2 October 1990. I wrote this date directly onto the VHS tape and audio cassette tapes which I used to capture the performance. In addition, I have attached a scan below of a Rolling Stone magazine article written about this exact show, and said article clearly states the date as 2 October. (The article itself is rather stained and torn, as I had it for many years hanging on my wall.)

Unlike my lost NO JACKET REQUIRED… SOLD OUT HBO tapes, I still have the aforementioned cassette tapes and VHS tape copy of this show in my archives, which I recorded live as they were broadcast. (I captured the FM simulcast of this show from my local radio station in Maryland, where I lived at the time, but for this listing I am referencing the KRQR station broadcast out of San Francisco as it is the clearest and best sounding of the available copies.)

The entire concert was captured as it happened, warts and all, though few mistakes occurred. Phil and his “Ten Serious Guys and One Even More Serious Gal” as they were known on this tour really tore up the Garden that night (figuratively, not literally) and this recording showcases that. I feel that this performance far outshines the official release recorded in Berlin on this same tour.

Highlights include the show opener Hand In Hand along with The West Side which features a smoldering drum solo, Colours

with a drum duet featuring Phil and Chester Thompson, and the show’s closing number Take Me Home , during which Phil is clearly emotional given that the tour has come to an end.

This tour will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the first time I saw a Phil Collins concert in person, at the Capital Centre Arena in Landover, Maryland. A five-star tour and a five-star show both at the Capital Centre Arena and Madison Square Garden.

As a personal note: I was in my senior year of high school at the time of this concert, and after recording this concert on VHS tape, I would watch the opening number, Hand In Hand , EVERY SINGLE DAY before heading off to school. I did this for the remainder of my senior year, which lasted until June of 1991. This version of this song is just THAT GOOD!
