Wednesday, June 8, 1994 Phil Collins show g By STEVEN BURRITT Staff Writer Phil Collins proved once again why he has last ed more than 20 years in the music business witl a great show Sunday, June 5 at Charlotte's Block buster Pavilion. What was taeeed as "A Nieht Under the Star " oo U with Phil Collins" turned out to be a night unde the clouds, but few spirits were dampened by th scattered showers and extremely late start. Thougl many were soaked in the partially covered pavil ion, almost no one left from his opening drum sc lo until he turned out the lights after his trademari "Take Me Home" encore. Collins, one of many over-40 artists touring thi summer, proved that he earned nicknames lik "The Maestro of Mellow" from his ballad-orientei albums and not his stage show. The concert wa as visually packed as it was musically. The stag was set up like a "Westside Story" rooftop seen with an impressive light show that could instant! I change the mood with each song. In addition to showing off the voice that has pre duced seven solo albums and has sung lead o over a dozen Genesis albums, Collins also showe off his varied instrumental skills. While he playe r every instrument heard on his most recent albun "Both Sides," he stuck with his drum set, pian< and tambourine for the concert. The concert featured an almost entirely ne band; only guitarist Daryl Steurmor was a usu; member of ^ Collins' traveling show.
