Phil Collins and his band delivered energetic and captivating performances, showcasing his powerful vocals and exceptional drumming skills. The setlist primarily featured songs from the "No Jacket Required" album, including popular hits like "Sussudio," "One More Night," "Don't Lose My Number," and the iconic "Take Me Home."
