And I think there's something really appealing about watching somebody that you know, you, singing songs that you know, but in a setting that you might not have otherwise had the opportunity to do it because plenty of Australians will never have had the opportunity to see Phil Collins live.
3:56
That's right.
3:57
I mean, and, and I think that's one of the joys of it.
3:59
This music is there.
4:00
I mean, when Phil Collins wrote it and put it out there, I'm sure he put it out there knowing, like, hoping that it would be shared with the world.
4:07
So, um, for, for people like myself and I guess like Rick did with John Denver, we-- it's, it's just a great thing to have this catalog of strong songs that you can still keep alive and still entertain people with.
5:37
But just being back here and being able to tour as you are now and play in front of audiences that would've known you and known of Human Nature from day one, uh, that must be a real privilege.
5:48
It really is.

41:23
Did you choose Phil Collins because of the Phil connection? Mm-hmm.
41:26
Well, it doesn't hurt that it's, you know, two Phils together there.
41:29
So, but no, that wasn't why I chose it.
41:32
You know, I'm a child of the 80s.
41:34
So Phil Collins is right in my wheelhouse.
41:36
All of those songs are songs that are imprinted on my brain and have been since I was little.
41:40
So for me, it was a very easy choice to think, you know, I think I'm going to put together a show and I'm going to make it a Phil Collins show.
46:04
Phil by Phil on gold.
1:12
Phil by Phil on gold.
1:16
Take it away.
1:26
There's a girl that's been on my mind All the time Su-su-sudio Whoa, that sound good? Now she don't even know my name But I think she likes me just the same Su-su-sudio Whoa.
1:57
All right, here we go.
2:00
Ah, if she called me, I'd be there.
2:05
I'd come running anywhere.
2:09
She's all I need all my life.
4:26
Can I ask a follow-up question? What does that song mean?
0:32
Did you choose Phil Collins because of the Phil connection?

2:11
Like he is such a
2:12
phenomenal musician.
85:10
Well, the other person who's amazing is Phil Collins.
85:13
Oh, he certainly is.
85:14
How has this all come about? What a great idea.
85:16
Oh, thank you.
85:17
No, it actually just came about because I'm a child of the 80s.
85:19
I was born in 1974 so the 80s through to 1990, that was my seminal time of music.
85:26
So Phil Collins was the absolute king of the 80s.
88:45
Can we hear some of Phil Collins' beautiful music?
61:09
What's in it?
61:11
Well, it's exactly that.
61:13
It's the story of our career.
61:14
It's also the story of our lives.
61:16
You know how we got together at school.
61:18
So there's a bit of a back story there about the four of us as individuals on how we grew up and came to be lovers of music, I guess.
61:28
And then from there, it's a lot of stories about all of the things that human nature have done over those 37 years, why it happened, how it happened.
65:01
Is that one of your favourites,

that one of your favourites,
4:17
Phil, do you think this is gonna change how people ride?
4:20
If you're gonna pay, you're gonna keep paying.
4:21
If you don't, then you're not.
4:23
I do think it's nice that we will be able to use our credit cards, similar to how you can in New York.
4:28
But I think the only way...
4:29
If this is a method to get people to pay, I feel like the only way to do that is, like, kind of like a public shaming or something.
4:36
I was fortunate enough to go to Tokyo this past year, and that if you- if your card is empty or it beeps red, like-
