[edit] History

Instead of providing a live concert experience, they took the approach of putting a 'hits only' selection for the album. While the performances feature Collins and his band at their best, the audio quality was sub-par for the CD version. The album has a very 'stadium crowd feel' quality that various other live albums from the early 90's had.

The live video (and recently released DVD) version features the entire concert. The video live performance from Germany which Collins has hailed as his best performance due to the energy of the people of Germany just after the Berlin wall fell.

This point at Collin's career his vocal skills and band playing were probably at their best and the DVD presents an in-depth personal look at his solo concert experience. Special moments include the crowd not allowing the concert to continue with continued applause after Something Happened on the Way to Heaven, and the lighter virgil during One More Night.

[edit] Miscellanea

• The track numbers for the song Another Day in Paradise on the Serious Hits...Live! CD are the same track numbers on the album they were taken from (...But Seriously).
• Even though it does sound like the CD was recorded over one entire concert, the songs on the CD version are taken from various concerts during the Serious Hits! tour.
