38 years ago today: Phil Collins and then-wife Jill about to board a British Airways Concorde from London to New York, enabling him to take part in both the Live Aid concerts at Wembley Stadium and at the John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia.

There was indeed something In the Air Tonight, and it was moving at Mach 2.

I saw him in concert with Genesis the year before this pic. One of my top 5 concert experiences.

Great! I’ve never seen them live.

Nor indeed did I get to fly on Concorde (something my first wife managed, to my chagrin, though in hindsight this should have been a tip-off about future spending concerns).
