Still Collins
30 years of “Pressetext The very best of Phil Collins & Genesis – live!”

“A long long way to go” wrote Phil Collins in 1985 on his 3rd solo album. At that time, he surely had no idea that 10 years later, a few crazy music students would set out to faithfully recreate his songs with a new band. Why would he? Who listens to 2 hours of live music from a band that only covers ONE artist? Today we know better, as the tribute band scene that Still Collins still leads is now an integral part of the concert landscape in music clubs, town halls, and theaters across Europe.

Still Collins has performed more than 1700 concerts in 30 years, with 4 of the 7 musicians still on stage as founding members. This is evident at every single concert in the incredible routine with which the band plays together, the brilliant sound, and a refined performance from the first to the last song. It goes without saying that even die-hard fans of the original can hardly distinguish an acoustic difference between the "Tribute" and the "Master." Trust your eyes, they say, because HE is certainly not it. But trust your ears, and you might believe HE is after all!

From “Selling England by the pound” to the latest Phil Collins solo album, Still Collins programmatically looks at the complete musical spectrum of Phil Collins and Genesis music history and even briefly highlights the adjacent solo theme of “Peter Gabriel.” Top sound, elaborate lighting design, and state-of-the-art LED video technology at most concerts – the band is well-equipped for the next 1700 concerts in absolute top locations. You can't do it better as a tribute band.

The lineup:

Sven Komp (vocals), Katja Symannek (backing vocals), Ulf Stricker (drums), Markus Hartmann (bass), Christoph Wüllner (keyboard and backing vocals), Wolfgang Braun (keyboard and backing vocals), Uli Opfergelt (guitar), Stefan Marenbach & Jürgen Lagemann (technical support).
