Phil Collins (1985–1989): Solo Superstar, Global Stages
From 1985 to 1989, Phil Collins was at the peak of his solo career—bringing his unmistakable voice and powerhouse drumming to arenas and stadiums around the world. Behind every show was a crew working long hours to keep the music rolling and the production running smooth, no matter the venue.
This section of the archive gathers Showco-related materials from Phil Collins' tours in the late '80s—photos, passes, documents, and other pieces preserved as they're found and digitized.
I'm building this archive by hand and will keep adding items as more materials are identified and shared.
Were you on the road, in the crowd, or working with Phil Collins or Showco between 1985 and 1989?
