Noch bis Mitte Januar dauern die Buster-Dreharbeiten an. Bereits Anfang Februar gastiert Phil Collins wieder als zweiter Drummer bei Eric Clapton-Shows, bei denen mit einem Cover eines Weather Report-Klassikers dem im September 1987 verstorbenen Bassisten Jaco Pastorius Tribut gezollt wird…

Phils US-Plattenfirma Atlantic Records feiert Mitte Mai 40. Geburtstag, und hat für diesen Anlass ein hochkarätiges All Star-Live-Konzert organisiert, das im TV und Radio live übertragen wird. Neben einem Auftritt mit Genesis, einer Solo-Nummer und Teil eines All Star-Background-Chors bei Foreigner performt Phil allerdings auch im Duet mit Sam Moore – der einen Hälfte des legendären Duos Sam & Dave – und der ex-Blues Brothers Band zwei Klassiker, darunter auch das bereits mit Eric Clapton aufgenommene You Don’t Know Like I Know.

Für ein u.a. von Phil Collins initiiertes, geplantes Comeback-Album von Stephen Bishop nimmt er ein Demo eines Klassikers aus den 1960ern auf, um es Stephen vorzuschlagen…

Das Demo bekommen außerdem die Filmemacher von Buster als Vorschlag von Phil in die Hände, die es prompt für einen Rohschnitt des Films nutzen. Ursprünglich gar nicht geplant, beteiligt sich Buster-Darsteller Phil Collins schließlich doch auch als Musiker und Sänger an der Musik zum Film und arbeitet dafür mit einem seiner Motown-Helden, Lamont Dozier, für passendes 1960er-Jahre-Feeling zusammen. Am Ende ist er bei fünf Soundtrack-Stücken beteiligt, von denen drei zu Hits werden…

Weiter geht es vier Wochen später mit einem weiteren Charity-Konzert namens Picnic By The Lake. Die von Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) zusammengestellte All Star-Band nennt sich Band Du Lac, und Phil Collins sitzt an den Drums und übernimmt auch manchmal die Lead Vocals. Wie so oft sind diese Events für ihn eine Möglichkeit, Songs erstmalig (und oft auch einmalig) zu performen.

1990

Die 1990er Jahre beginnen für Phil Collins mit Proben ab Mitte Januar für seine anstehende Seriously, Live! World Tour, die ihn von Februar bis Oktober auf Trab halten wird. Deswegen ist er bei den seit einigen Jahren immer im Januar oder Februar stattfindenden Eric Clapton-Konzerte in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall nicht im Band-Line-Up, aber schaut trotzdem vorbei, um etwas Tambourine beizusteuern…

Pünktlich zu seinem 40. Geburtstag steht Phil Collins wieder mit Eric Clapton in der bereits seit 1986 bewährten Besetzung auf der Bühne – zunächst für zwei Aufwärm-Gigs in Dublin und anschließend die ersten drei Shows in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall. Auch in diesem Jahr gibt es für Phil die ein oder andere Song-Premiere am Schlagzeug….

Ab März verschanzt sich Phil bis September wieder einmal mit seinen beiden Genesis-Kollegen in ihrer gemeinsamen „Farm“, um das nächste Album We Can’t Dance zu schreiben und aufzunehmen. Irgendwann in dieser Zeit wurde dort unter Nathan Easts Federführung mit Phil und Eric Clapton auch das Grundgerüst einer Cover-Version eines Earth, Wind & Fire-Klassikers aufgenommen, welche erst 25 Jahre später fertig gestellt werden würde.
