Phil Collins - If Leaving Me Is Easy 1985 Live (Restored and near-complete w/ bonus footage)
Музыка
A great live version of If Leaving Me Is Easy, recorded at the Reunion Arena, Dallas TX, on the 29th May 1985. This was omitted from the No Ticket Required concert video, but was included on the Classic Albums: Face Value documentary in near-complete form. Also features a bonus snippet of This Must Be Love, also omitted from No Ticket Required.
There is a very long 7+ minute uninterrupted segment near the end of the documentary which only misses part of the sax intro, and a minute or so of the ending. I spliced in a part of Phil talking to the audience, which I presume was before the song in the actual concert. I also restored the intro sax using the Melbourne 85 soundboard recording, and used a bit of footage with no real home as a substitute for the intro. The audio was also balanced and normalised, since louder in the right channel and rather quiet as a whole.
In earlier parts of the documentary, small clips of the song are also present. Only when comparing side-by-side did I notice that while the same audio and performance, some had alternative camera angles (one source for instanced only focused on Phil, and the other cut away to Leland for a few seconds). I've included some of these alternate angles in the video where applicable.
I extended the ending footage out a little bit, but couldn't isolate the music when Phil commentates over it. I've left it in anyways as the concert audio is good enough to be deciphered. I added a small snippet of the ending to This Must Be Love from the same documentary after the song, since is too short to individually upload.
As for the source of the extra concert footage itself, this suggests the full tapes of other songs played but not currently available exist, such as I Don't Care Anymore, Inside Out, and Don't Lose My Number. The source appears to be composite, due to the presence of dot crawl around some of the edges where there is large contrast in colour, but still looks very good. One can only hope the full tapes surface someday and receive a proper release.

This pulls at the strings of the heart, a love lost and pain that time hasn’t fully healed.
One of THE of the (MOST UNDERRATTED) Greatest Love Songs EVER written. Can’t label it a wedding song (LOL), but still a beautiful ballad. My all time favorite Phil Collins song! 👍🏾❤️

I love the instrumental parts the best I was with a man for 15 years and being an older couple, it was a tough breakup. His new woman was so jealous said vile untrue things,, he even called to bury the knife deeper, it neatly killed my soul but it takes more to kill my ❤️ . It’ turned out all good though I found a man quite by accident & we’re falling in love like kids. Life is good 😊

Very Nice Work!!!........I love this song and this live version. I saw it on YT and had to buy the DVD and did........I would love to have the whole/complete song without Phil talking at the end. If you listen to the DVD, it is one of Phil's favorites but he does not care to do it live because the audience is usually not quiet enough, so it can be enjoyed.
Somebody remembering the memories
