Having to follow that Diana concert the week before was rough. I haven't seen a show that well produced in a long time. The performances were top notch. And it felt like a celebration.
Live Earth had it's moments though. The thing with Genesis at that show was that they sounded small. Collins and Genesis have always had a big sound, IMO. Phil stood in front and sang the vocals and then would jump on the drums and play for about a minute. They had another drummer there. They did Invisible Touch (never a favorite of mine) and anemic sounding versions of Land Of Confusion and Turn It On Again. And I don't think it was because their mix was bad. It just seemed like half the band was missing or to borrow a line form Stevie "fell off the stage."
