Phil Collins Live At Montreux 2004

To paraphrase Bill Murray in the movie, What About Bob?, there are two kinds of people in this world, those who like Phil Collins’ music and those who don’t. While this extensive live concert Blu-ray will be a must-have for the former, it just may be good enough to pull a few of the “don’t likes” over to the other side. There are actually two concerts on the disc, a 2004 greatest hits style show with Collins and his band, and a 2006 show where Collins is joined by an all-star orchestra conducted by Quincy Jones. The combined set list is expansive enough that there’s something to please everybody, although it will be hard to find anyone who thinks Collins’ singing the Cindy Lauper hit, True Colors, was a good idea. Collins’ easy going stage presence works well in both sets, too. So even if you don’t think you like him, give it a shot.
