Just looking at some of Genesis's live performances are incredible. Phil Collins voice is truly at its best live, and they are without a doubt one of the greatest bands of all time. I'm just waiting for them to hit the road again. Would be a dream come true. Hopefully someday!
MAMA hold their children's hands for a while, but their hearts FOREVER. Your service is so great without demanding anything in return .. I Like this Song Memory. THANK'S GENESIS - GODBLESS YOU 🙏❤️👍
The song is about a prostitute actually... 😅 "Mama" is the name the client uses in his obsession with her. If you don't believe me go check everywhere you like online and you'll find it easily.
It’s ironic because Phil never wanted to sing. Stay behind the drum kit and kick ass. And then he becomes one of the best singers of all time. God had his plan in here somewhere so we could enjoy this incredible writing and playing.
I was twelve blasting this out, and my parents thought it was a shout out to mothers. I never told them until I got older it was about a man obsessed with a prostitute.
Angel Gd sure is, but I try to think of it as a song about abortion, with the “Mama, you’re taking away my last chance” but the “it’s getting so hard, o-ohhh” is too hard to ignore
Regardless of what this song is about, it's always been one of my favorites. My mom (who was a fan of Genesis back in the day), introduced me to this song when I was younger & browsing her cassettes and asked her about Genesis. I've loved it since!
The moment around 3.30 when the cargo net is raised and suddenly -in the middle of the show- the stage gets bigger and the ambience even more intriguing with the indirect lightning is EPIC. This tour has one of the best designs I've seen in a rock concert, every single light effect and projection made to enhance the songs' impact!
I'd forgotten how amazing Genesis was, this song in particular. SO friggin' haunting. (I agree with you, MrFerdell--they need to tour again PERIOD, lol)
Easily the best live version of this song, mainly because the relentless "drone" drum was the exact version used on the album version, despite it being a tone down for Phil's voice. All previous live performances utilized a neutered version.
+PinkLaffs I agree with you. The only knock I have against it, compared to the early live versions, is the fact that Phil's voice sounds almost too clean. I know its many years later, and a step down is better than blowing your voice out, but there's something about that out of control quality in his voice that gives this song its emotion and eery feel when coupled with the instrumentation. Nevertheless, this is a great version!
+PinkLaffs All previous versions had an actual drum machine being played live, which is why it sounded different. It wasn't distorted, like on the album.
I didnt said that this video was filmed in Montreal. I can read, but i only said, that when i saw them on this tour at the olympic stadium of Montreal, it was really good!!!!
There’s a slight increase in tempo in the drum loop after every second measure on every single recording of Mama from the 2007 tour. The kick drum is a bit early on the first beat of the first measure after the loop restarts. Sort of sounds like that’s where the sound file loops and they cut it a hair too short. Great performance none the less though.
+++ I was Blessed by God directly after my ☆MAMA ☆ passed, I was on a beach my love interest took me to try to rid the grief, I was drunk & suicidal, when my ☆MAMA☆ appeared joyfully! Beautifully! to tell me about her life with the Lord, & how Awesome! Truly truly my faith grows strong recalling this grand momento amen
Hey Atlantic Records, let's have an HD release of this concert already!
probably the best song genesis ever made.
Quite possibly.
Yes!!!!❤
Definitely.
This was the day after I was born
This or Home by the Sea. It's hard for me to choose.
Phil Collins! What a single, what a drummer!!! Awesome!
The Gentlemen of Rock. Greatest composers and performers we have been gifted with.

Yes but 7 years later bless his heart. He fought pain for along time.

I wish Genesis had more songs that were darker like this: this song is so much better than most "dark" songs out there by leaps and bounds.
Tony Banks is the king!!!! What a genius!!
Yes
IT ALMOST TAKES HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO CREATE A PIECE LIKE THIS ONE SONG OF THE CENTURY
Phil Collins is one of the best vocalists ive ever heard...bet its one of the best live performances ever.

Mama is kick ass progressive rock song ever super genius !!
Absolutely amazing! The man's voice is JUST AS GOOD years later.
Love the raspiness age has given Phil's voice.
Gives it a new flavor and I think it sounds good.
One of my favorite singers and artist of all time
55 and was still amazing vocalist
He was 56 during this concert.
This song is incredible for the way it is so personal emotion and hard rock together
Genesis was the first band I remember listening to as a kid. I'm glad my parents introduced me to them.

@@bobbywillis1466 And look 3 years since you wrote this and it's 100 time worst makes me sick and mad babies lives matter too.😭

The master musicians
Absolutely love this song.
Best song ever. I love u mama
Absolutely mind-blowing

best rock band ever
Truly one one of the finest 👌
Amazing amazing show!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤👍
Genesis IS my favorite band. I have decided and that is FINAL. This song is SPECTACULAR.
Un brano pazzesco..
Magnificenza!
Such a great song

It can't get no better than this!
Chester and are Tony are the best
Wish they would release this concert and the documentary collection on Blu-Ray
why? None of this looks bad in the DVD format when I bought and saw it.
Respect.
For the oldschool rockers, this is a great song
For the teenagers, it's a song in GTA IV
One of their bests like Domino,Carpet Crawlers and Lamb Lies Down on Broadway...Just a killer tune
it's an ode, the antithesis of In the Air Tonight. He's pleading with her.
O primeiro rei da pisadinha!
That was their last studio Progressive song, IMHO. What a good one!
I didnt said that this video was filmed in Montreal. I can read, but i only said, that when i saw them on this tour at the olympic stadium of Montreal, it was really good!!!!
hahaha.....amazing, his voice is awesome...scary....

i love this
Proper music !!!!!
Quietest. Crowd. Ever.
Nope. Quietest crowd ever was the one in Germany when they opened the tour. Friggin’ emotionally repressed Germans.
very good

Great
C'était très bon au Stade Olympique de Montréal!!!
Temazoooo 💯👍👍👍
Wow
Very scary laugh :) love it!
intense
Ik zat in de trein naar Nijmegen en ik zette dit liedje op en alleen het begin heb ik vaak gedraaid en op de terugweg deed ik het zelfde
Christel Wes Nijmegen is ook geweldig
Top
👍👍👍
Lowering the key takes some of the edge off of those higher notes, but If he can't hit them then I guess there isn't much else you can do.
A more benign version No doubt.
Brasil Março 2022
I heard liberty rock radio, from GTA4
doesn't look like they 'get' the evil laugh part....? Weird crowd
SHARON DYER some of them might not have been born when it first came out....
"Haha haha oooooooh" ...
@miltonboy73 ditto :D
Het was het liedje mamma
OLD PEOPLE
Not keen on this "Genesis" give me Peter anytime.
Saying that, Phil Collins once bought me a pint in a pub I was in so i can forgive him (a bit).😆
:)
Jim Smith is correct all ye posers
billy barew - *uncorrect
its not a song about Mothers....do some homework
This version is below average. Watch the version from 1984 and you will never watch this version again!! Also this is an edited version.
