Can you feel it in the air tonight?

Last month I enjoyed the pleasure of taking a two-hour drive to see Phil Collins (yes, that Phil Collins) at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland (yes, that Cleveland). It may not sound like much or even sound boring to you, but it was huge to me.

This was the first time that Phil Collins has toured in over 10 years, which was why the 67 year old’s show sold out. His newest tour, “Not Dead Yet” (and the name didn’t disappoint) from the opening piano of “Against All Odd,” to the closing chorus of “Take Me Home,” each moment was magnificent.

Starting promptly at 8:30 p.m., Collins played a two-hour set with a couple of moments to talk to the audience. He still had a majority of his original band, with a few exceptions to the line-up, including his 17 year old son Nic who replaced him on drums.

His voice sounded just as it did in his youthful years, and filled the Q Arena with energy. The crowd participated with that energy, wildly applauding each song and joining in on singing.

He may have been seated most of the night due to back problems and related surgeries, but that didn’t stop Collins from drumming. Halfway through the show, the roadies brought out a small drum kit that he played with his son and their percussionist, showing that even after his surgeries and health issues he can still play just as well as he used to—just perhaps not all evening long.

His setlist included a widespread selection from the albums over the years. Opening with two of his softer songs, 1984’s “Against All Odds,” and 1989’s “Another Day in Paradise” both set way for the mood of the night.

His setlist even dipped into his classic Genesis catalog: “Throwing It All Away,” “Invisible Touch,” and 1978’s “Follow You, Follow Me.”

Getting his two trumpet players, trombonist, and saxophonist into the mix when he played the third song, “I Missed Again,” brought the action and more volume.

His merchandise vendors even drew a crowd. The lines were backed up and blocked the walkways, forcing members of the audience to push their way through the Collins-crazed customers. The merchandise depicted a more youthful Collins, and even the prices reflected a bit of the past with concert shirts, at $35 and $55 for a hoodie, unlike some of the steeper prices common at shows these days.

If you missed the Cleveland show, Collins still has 11 more stops on this last leg of his 20-month tour, but sadly they’re all overseas in Australia and New Zealand.
