This was my second concert ever. It was at Richfield colosseum near Cleveland Ohio. My mother took me out I have been a fan for life, to both my mother and Phil Collins. What an incredible experience!
As for the album, I will never forget going into Camelot Music in Canton Ohio and seeing the wall covered with a newly released single called, One More Night. I miss that era of not knowing when something was going to be released, what the next single would be, what the artwork would be for all of the formats released.
I would love to listen to just the drums to this album because they are very impressive on each track. I also wish someone would release his solo catalog in a surround sound/blu-ray format. The Genesis surround sound box sets are amazing!
Thanks for this, Brian. I also miss the days of going into a record shop without knowing what was being released. With tech, it’s some you win, some you lose.
Thanks for reevaluating this album. I'd become one of the 'there was too much Phil Collins' people, despite really enjoying both his solo music and that with Genesis (and Philip Bailey!) at the time.
However, I've just finished listening to No Jacket - and, damn. It is an excellent album despite (or because) of all the memories every single song elicits.
It’s interesting how people who are talented actors a range of genres, such as Collins, are misunderstood. There’s so much “stay in your lane” in music (and elsewhere).

Thank you for the memories! Good times.

A GREAT glimpse! Thanks!
Thanks Bryan. I’m glad you enjoyed your listen.

Easy Lover was the first single I ever bought. I was 15. I still really like it.
Me too. I bought it in Germany while there to see Collins. The adventures of youth.
