Los Endos

Because, you know, it takes a lot to make a big band concept work, but I actually thought it was really incredible to, to watch, like, even 30 years l- after it happened.

If you go to YouTube and you look up the Phil Collins Big Band, look up Los Endos from that concert at Montreux.

And in the beginning of it, uh, Luis Conte and, and Phil Collins open up with a drum back and forth, which he would always do on his, on the pop tours as well.

And then they would, uh, uh, uh, finish, uh, the drum thing with something that's written out that we would know would be the cue for the band to come in with, with, uh, the beginning of the song.

And, uh, you can just see why this mattered to him so much.

It's very, very well captured.

And I should also just drop in here, Los Endos, uh, was a very famous ending piece for Genesis, and, uh, needed an introduction on it that would work.

And so the first, I don't know, five minutes of that tune is a complete composition by Harry Kim.

So to celebrate the return of the man himself, let's go back to his last live album, The Lamb Stands Up, live at Royal Albert Hall.

And we're going to play Los Endos, which some of you will know, well, most of you will know, and if you don't know, why don't you know? It was the last track on the rather wonderful, the classic Trick of the Tale.

Yes, and it used to feature quite heavily in the original Genesis stage shows.

It's a good way to finish the show.

was 5 minutes 48.

The live version is 12 minutes 53 and features a rather excellent drum solo from the man himself, Craig Blundell.

So let's have some Mr Hackett, shall we? This is the live version of Los Endos.

Yeah.
