Thanks for the link.. good interview

[Nearfest2]

Phil really looks and sounds worn out.

[Scott Bails]

Does he talk about the reunion??

[Koreabruce]

Phil really looks and sounds worn out.

This was my take. I had to stop about 5 minutes in because it was too painful. I sure hope he's not fallen off the wagon, but it kind of seemed a bit like that to me.

[Gizmotron]

This was my take. I had to stop about 5 minutes in because it was too painful. I sure hope he's not fallen off the wagon, but it kind of seemed a bit like that to me.

Wow. I too found it difficult to watch; it is hard to reconcile the Phil of today with the Phil of my memory.
I hope he is OK.

[Sean]

Rufus should be pleased....

His old foe is withering away.

[LeFrog]

I refuse to watch any recent footage of him. According to the comments I read here on PE (this thread is an example or comments on his last tour where he was sitting down the whole time) he is not in good shape for a man his age. I'd much rather keep the memory of how he used to be.

I have read good things about his recent live shows from those who attended- despite his physical issues, apparently he was in good spirits. Amazingly the reviews were good. These interviews were a while before that tour.

[Koreabruce]

These interviews were a while before that tour.

Well, if that's true that's certainly encouraging. I only wish Phil the best. He's brought so much joy to my life through the music he's created with Genesis and as a solo artist, not to mention the huge number of appearances he makes on others' works.

[Paulrus]

This was my take. I had to stop about 5 minutes in because it was too painful. I sure hope he's not fallen off the wagon, but it kind of seemed a bit like that to me.

Wow, that's exactly what I was thinking. I also couldn't finish watching it.

[Progatron]

I watched the whole thing a little while back, and it was very tough after all these years of seeing eager, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Phil. He seems out of it, and slurring a lot. But I attribute that to the pain meds he might have been on considering his misfortunes around this time.

I found his book a fascinating read, particularly the honest, naked account of his harrowing descent into alcoholism at such a late stage in life (especially for someone in the music biz!)

[PhilIsLife]

I will never get over that sexy facial expression <3
