Red Rain for instance? Or if we are only talking Genesis here: The Apocalypse in 9/8th section in Supper`s Ready
Speaking of Phil, I always get goosebumps listening to him singing Afterglow on Three Sides Live. A much more powerful version, than on Seconds Out or even on Wind And Wuthering. But maybe that is just me, feeling that way.

I agree with everything you said, I would add DWTMK which is quite amazing imo, that a Cappella intro never sounded quite the same with Phil live

When it comes to comparing Phil`s and Peter`s voice craft, some wise man`s words come to my mind, I have read somewhere sometime:
Phil`s vocals on Supper`s Ready are better, than Peter`s; but Phil cannot sing it the way Peter does.

Peter sings better than ever? Really?
I saw him on Later with Jools Holland and was not impressed. I noticed he needed a lot of help from backing singers and has no hope with the high notes.
Phil's voice has got thinner since the '80s, that's true, but I would say Peter's certainly has too.

No, I love them both. They are very different, but both great.

I never thought Peter's forte was his high pitch and he still has he low tones to rely upon, those are imo better than ever...

Saw Peter live in concert last Summer. His voice was incredible, high notes and all, for two and a half hours. Maybe he has some off-nights, and I can pick on some of his vocals on some 2007 live recordings I have, but in Camden, NJ in 2011 He was ON. Better than ever, as the man said.
