STILL COLLINS - mit offenem Tor

Still Collins
30 Years "Pressetext The very best of Phil Collins & Genesis - live!"

"A long long way to go" - Phil Collins wrote these words in 1985 on his third solo album. He certainly had no idea then that ten years later, a handful of passionate musicians would embark on a mission to faithfully recreate his songs with a new band. Why not? Who would want to sit through two hours of live music from a band that covers only ONE artist? Today we know better, because the tribute band scene, which Still Collins continues to lead, has become an integral part of the concert landscape in music clubs, arenas, and theatres across Europe.

Over 30 years, Still Collins has performed more than 1700 concerts, with four of the seven musicians still on stage as founding members. This shows itself at every single concert in the incredible tightness with which the band plays, brilliant sound, and polished performance from the first to the last song. It goes without saying that even devoted fans of the original can barely hear an acoustic difference between the "tribute" and the "master." Trust your eyes, they say, because of course it's not him. But trust your ears, and you'll believe it is!

From "Selling England by the pound" through Phil Collins' latest solo album, Still Collins systematically covers the complete musical palette of Phil Collins and Genesis history, and happily also shines a light on the adjacent solo topic "Peter Gabriel." Top-notch sound, sophisticated lighting design, state-of-the-art LED video technology at most concerts - the band is well equipped for the next 1700 concerts at the finest venues. You simply cannot do better as a tribute band.

Line-up:

Sven Komp (vocals), Katja Symannek (backing vocals), Ulf Stricker (drums), Markus Hartmann (bass), Christoph Wüllner (keyboards and backing vocals), Wolfgang Braun (keyboards and backing vocals)
