STUNNING PHIL COLLINS SHOW FROM HIS FIRST SOLO TOUR. In December 1978, Genesis went on hiatus while Phil Collins went to Vancouver, to focus on his family; his marriage had become strained after his extensive touring. Having failed to save the relationship, Collins returned to the UK in April 1979, by which time Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford were recording their solo albums. With time to spare before recording a new Genesis album, Collins played on the Brand X album “Product” and its accompanying tour, played on John Martyn‘s album “Grace and Danger”, and started writing his first solo album, “Face Value”, at his home in Shalford, Surrey. After Banks and Rutherford re-joined Collins, work began on the Genesis album “Duke”, released in 1980. Collins’s second solo album, “Hello, I Must Be Going!”, was released in November 1982. His marital problems continued to provide inspiration for his songs, including “I Don’t Care Anymore” and “Do You Know, Do You Care”. The album reached number 2 in the UK and number 8 in the US, where it sold 3 million copies. Collins supported the album with the “Hello, I Must Be Going!” tour of Europe and North America from November 1982 to February 1983. On December 8th ’82, Phil performed at Philadelphia’s Tower Theater, where he put on one of the tour’s very finest shows. And while no tracks from the Genesis back catalogue were performed, he did end the set with a superb version of Brand X’s “…And So to F”, a cut from the aforementioned Product album.
