Serious Hits Live! - The Quality of the DVD and concert itself is Excellent. There are a number of bonus features which includ the mechanics of the stage to vocal training. While this may not sound interesting it will give viewers an idea of the commitment phil had for this tour and all his fans. With that being said check out the song list Phil Collins - Serious Hits....Live! (2DVD) and you'll be sure to find a number of hits... serious.

Phil Collins is one of the most popular singers of all time. This DVD is great and the sound is perfect.

Phil Collins gives a long seriously long concert in Berlin, Germany, on July 25, 1990, doing 24 songs! This is one of the longest one-man concert videos I've ever seen.
Actually, as good as Collins' songs are, and as good a singer as he is, it's almost too much....at least for one continuous viewing. It's almost three hours of music! I was surprised all of this could fit on a VHS tape. I'm not complaining, just saying it is very hard to sit down and watch this whole thing in one viewing. After the first look, I wound up breaking it into segments, and even skipping a number of songs that didn't have as much appeal as others. Having the DVD, as opposed to the old VHS tape, makes it a lot easier to skip to another number.
Like all good performers, Collins has excellent backup help, instrumentally and vocally. The lighting also is very colorful in here which definitely adds tot he view-ability of the concert. You need colors and other visual gimmicks (dry ice, in here), otherwise you're better off with just a CD. Phil, to his credit, is pretty animated, too, which also helps. He is so self-assured that feels comfortable with the huge crowd, even though he doesn't speak their language. (He has to read his German from a sheet of paper.)
Anywhile, like Rod Stewart and others with unlimited energy, Phil just keeps going and going. Although some songs sound very similar, it's still very good, solid music and entertainment. You sure get your money's worth!"
September 7, 2007I have to say this is my favorite Phill Collins live dvd. I tend to favor Phils work that has not been top 10 on pop charts. This dvd is a perfect example of what I love...the best of his tours have always been promoting albums, when he plays such a better variety of the real Phil music, not just the air-play stuff like in his Final farewell tour (which I also like, but will watch this 10 times to one of that).

El recital en Berlín es espectacular, al igual que la presentación de este DVD doble. En la cúspide de su éxito (1990), Phill y los super-profesionales músicos que le acompañan recrean una obra histórica muy bien filmada donde se resume la inigualable música de los 80's. Imperdible.
