I think Seconds Out is one of the greatest live albums by any group---Steve sounds amazing and the PG songs are sung better by PC. This line-up should reform one last time---as Steve is playing better than ever live and brings so much to the table. (I can dream can't I?)

I believe that the only Gabriel song that Collins sung better than Peter was I know what I Like.

The rest...Gabriel by light years.

I personally think Phil outsings Peter Gabriel by a longshot. I like his theatrics even more than Gabriel's, especially on Seconds Out! Phil is fabulous on Supper's Ready:)
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Ok, the question is easy: Do you prefer the vocals of Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel in the old Genesis songs Peter Gabriel sung? 
I think the most answers in this forum were belong to Gabriel, but in my opinion Phil Collins is the better singer of both, thats why I started this topic. 
I mean I read an Peter Gabriel Interview in which he stated, that Collins sungs better versions of the old songs, but I'm not sure. If anybody knows more about it, please add links to interviews or sth. else. 

Some part to establish my opinion ist, that Collins was singing, when he has to sing, and not drumming. Peter wanted to did more "art" in is appearance like costumes and using the flute or the bass drum for example. Maybe this is the reason why he overdubbbed the Lamb perfomance on the archive set from 1975. I don't know but... 
I like the old Collins vocals, because it is sometimes so intense and more phrased then Gabriel vocals, instead of Phil Collins vocals in his actual productions like the Motown Cover album. I think he started to prattle with his voice in the late 90ies in songs like "You'll Be In My Heart" and so on. 

This is my list of songs, which are better sung by Collins live than Peter in the studio or available live performances (on the archive set for example)

The Cinema Show on Seconds Out
Firth Of Fifth on Seconds Out
especially Suppers Ready on Seconds Out (the best version in my opinion)
(I don't like I Know What I Like as a song, so I don't post it here) 
In The Cage Medley on Three Sides Live (i think this is some of the best Collins vocals performances)
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway on The Way We Walk
The Musical Box on The Way We Walk (mainly of the chorus voice effect)
The Carpet Crawlers on Live Over Europe

Yes, Second's Out certainly offers tons from PC over the originals. PC on Live Over Europe was surprisingly restrained, which IMO only improves the overall sound especially Carpet Crawlers. I do not like The Cage medley ( or any medley). I do like Gabriel's/Collins version of the Carpet Crawlers - 1999 for the Hits album

Ditto and then some.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
