简介:
菲尔.柯林斯向青少年时期最爱的摩城音乐致敬之作,找来五十年前的老牌乐手,组成十八人的大型乐团,在舞台上忠实重现当年音乐风采,热力十足的节奏配上一流的声光效果,彷彿一场美好音乐的时空旅行!
音乐界应该少有人像菲尔.柯林斯一般,有这麼多不同时期、不同乐风的作品。1960年代的他是个童星,还曾经出现在披头四经典电影「一夜狂欢」的临时演员群中;1970年代的他参加前卫摇滚劲旅「创世纪」合唱团担任鼓手,而在原主唱彼得盖布瑞尔离团后,他成为鼓手兼主唱的灵魂人物,并带领乐团转型为流行摇滚畅销天团;1980年代的他以多首畅销单曲成为流行音乐巨星,多首畅销抒情曲让人难以将他与之前的摇滚形象连结;1990年后他参与电影「泰山」配乐,也组成爵士大乐团巡迴演出。在推出精选集之后,许多乐迷以为菲尔.柯林斯已经进入退休状态,没想到在2010年,获选进入摇滚名人堂之后,他推出了八年以来首张录音室专辑「重返荣耀」!专辑封面是青少年时期乾净清爽的菲尔.柯林斯照片并不令人意外,因为这张专辑就是他的「青少年时期原声带」。
五岁就得到一组玩具鼓的菲尔.柯林斯在青少年时期最爱去观看乐团现场演出,当时乐团最常翻唱时下畅销单曲,而最吸引菲尔.柯林斯注意的,就是那些摩城唱片公司推出的黑人灵魂流行歌曲。摩城唱片在1960年代创立,老闆Berry Gordy Jr.签下了奇蹟乐团、史蒂夫汪达、至上乐团、马文盖、顶尖四人、杰克森家族等畅销艺人,不但是第一家由黑人拥有、经营的唱片公司,它所发行的音乐更促成了音乐文化上的种族融合。摩城唱片公司最著名的特色,是有一群顶尖乐手参与录音,这些被称为「放克兄弟」的乐手们所製造出的畅销单曲,比披头四、猫王等人的总和还要多。菲尔.柯林斯的这张专辑中,就找来了放克兄弟的三位乐手参与伴奏,务求「原音重现」摩城音乐风采。
配合专辑的巡迴演唱会也是秉持这种「原音重现」的特色,完全不演唱菲尔.柯林斯往昔的畅销曲,只以摩城名曲贯穿全场。不但有菲尔.柯林斯多年来的伴奏班底、加上管乐、男女和声,还找来了放克兄弟乐手,十八人的庞大阵容,在舞台上立起了往昔电视伴奏大乐队般的座位台,充满復古的风采。菲尔.柯林斯不再打鼓、弹钢琴,专心於歌曲演唱,展现专业歌手的风采。和声歌手们随著动感的节奏起舞,还常常到舞台中央伴舞,让台下观眾们如痴如狂的给予热烈掌声。安可时终於唱出由菲尔.柯林斯翻唱打进畅销榜的「You Can't Hurry Love」,再加上耳熟能详的热力名曲「My Girl」让整场随之起舞,给了所有乐迷一个最完美的结尾。
以高画质、高音质环绕声製作,堪称声光效果一流,花絮更收录了演唱会的彩排过程,也专访了菲尔.柯林斯,听他谈论这张专辑的发想、筹划与录音製作过程。摩城音乐迷或是菲尔.柯林斯的歌迷当然要收藏本片,对一般的流行音乐迷来说,这更是了解划时代的摩城音乐的最佳教材。
Phil Collins - Going Back: Live At Roseland Ballroom, NYC
Year: 2010
Genre: Rock, Motown, Soul
Description:
This is a very special Blu-ray release. In the tiny booklet provided with it, there is a nice article by Phil Collins in which he explains that the music performed on it is the music that he listened to while growing up in the 60s, performed in London's nightclubs and sold in the local music shops he often visited. It was the kind of music that inspired him to dream big - the Motown and soul music. Naturally, Phil Collins: Going Back is a special tribute, a dream come true.
Filmed at New York City's notorious Roseland Ballroom earlier this year, Phil Collins: Going Back contains a total of twenty six Motown and soul classics, which Collins loved as a kid. Assisted by Motown's original backing band - guitarists Eddie Willis and Ray Monette, of The Funk Brothers, guitarist Darryl Stuermer, bassist Bob Babbitt, drummer Chester Thompson, as well as two members of Genesis' live band - Collins sings "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)", "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever", "Blame It On The Sun", "Take Me In Your Arms, Rock Me A Little While", and "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone", amongst others, in front of a small but very appreciative crowd.
