This stunning footage captures Phil Collins’ "Both Sides of the World Tour 1994" (later renamed "Far Side of the World Tour" in 1995), a massive run of 171 shows across five continents, during its stop at the Orlando Arena, Orlando, Florida. The clip shows the beginning of the concert as Phil comes out of the shack in his good old Say It’s Alright Joe outfit. He takes off the hat and the coat and sits down behind a collection of old drums, buckets, hoses and other junk. Then he picks up his drumsticks and off we go – the heap of junk turns out to be a drumkit or, as Phil likes to call it, his ‘rubbishkit’, which has a peculiar but interesting metallic sound. After a brief solo a second set of drums can be heard as another man appears in the spotlight on the stage to the right and above Phil, a dark-skinned man wearing dark sunglasses: Ricky Lawson. It is the beginning of a drum duet of the unusual persuasion: Phil plays on his rubbishkit, Ricky drums on his chest and thighs where body-triggers (electronic drum plates) have been affixed. The video is taken from the original promo tape distributed to US TV stations to promote the concert coverage. 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒙𝒕 & 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 When "Both Sides" was released on November 8, 1993, it initially received mixed reviews, especially from adult contemporary radio, which criticized its introspective tone and slower pace. Expectations were sky-high — this was, after all, the follow-up to "…But Seriously". Yet the album became Collins’ most personal and emotional work, written during the collapse of his marriage to Jill Tavelman. Reflecting on that period, Collins said: “𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆, 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒚. 𝑰 𝒔𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒚.” The result was an album that marked a return to the darker, more melancholic atmosphere of "Face Value" and "Hello, I Must Be Going!". Despite its moody nature, Both Sides sold over three million copies within months, reaching #1 in eight countries (including the UK) and #13 in the U.S. In a 2016 interview with "The Guardian", Collins described Both Sides as his favorite album from a songwriting and creative standpoint, explaining: “𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒐 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎. 𝑰 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒆… 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒐𝒖𝒔.” The album was recorded entirely by Collins himself — no Hugh Padgham, no Daryl Stuermer, no Leland Sklar, no Phenix Horns. After sketching demos at home, he finished the record in just six weeks at The Farm with engineer Paul Gomersall, playing every instrument. It was a bold experiment that reflected both his isolation and artistic independence. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓 Only a few months after the album’s release, Collins embarked on the "Both Sides of the World Tour," which opened in Utrecht and later visited Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Japan. The stage design echoed the video for "We Wait and We Wonder": an urban, working-class backyard scene — corrugated metal walls, dented trash cans, flickering “HOTEL” signs, wooden boards, and even newspapers and coffee cups — turning the stage into a cinematic set. Compared to the previous "Serious Tour 1990", Collins reshaped almost his entire band. Only a few familiar faces remained: Arnold McCuller (backing vocals), Brad Cole (keyboards), and Daryl Stuermer (guitars). Amy Keys replaced Bridgette Bryant on backing vocals; Nathan East (of Eric Clapton fame and co-writer of Easy Lover) took over on bass; and the legendary Vine Street Horns replaced the Phenix Horns, led by ex-member Harry Kim. Replacing Chester Thompson behind the kit was Ricky Lawson, an accomplished drummer whose groove perfectly complemented Collins’ energy. When asked about the major lineup changes, Phil explained: “𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒉 𝑺𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 — 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍.” The show was split into two halves: the first quiet and introspective, featuring six songs from Both Sides; the second brighter and more dynamic, with a powerful light show and fan favorites. Despite the lack of an official concert release, the "Both Sides Tour" remains one of Collins’ finest — his most theatrical, emotional, and musically daring production. The setlists featured deep cuts, rare tracks, unexpected covers, and the longest shows of his career, often surpassing three hours. This video — remixed and remastered in 16:9 4K, featuring a new audio mix by our dear friend Blukaos — offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Collins’ most powerful tours, taken from a tour long known for its scarcity of professional footage and official releases.
