The No Jacket Required World Tour was a concert tour by the English drummer, singer and songwriter Phil Collins, which occurred February–July 1985 in support of his 1985 album, No Jacket Required. The album had been a massive international success and the tour concluded with Collins performing "Against All Odds" and "In the Air Tonight" at both Live Aid concerts, in London and Philadelphia, on 13 July 1985.
During the tour, the music video for "Take Me Home" was filmed on location in various cities where the tour was staged. It was directed by Jim Yukich and produced by Paul Flattery. Flattery/Yukich also directed the video for "Don't Lose My Number" which was shot in various locations in Australia and was a parody of music video directors pitching famous or cliché ideas. It won a Billboard Video Award in 1987.
A television special, also directed by Jim Yukich and produced by Paul Flattery, was recorded at Reunion Arena in Dallas on 29 May 1985, and aired on HBO entitled No Jacket Required... Sold Out. The broadcast was released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1985 with extended footage and the title changed to Phil Collins: No Ticket Required. It won an ACE AWARD for best TV Music special in 1986. Another television special was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, for a Cinemax show called Album Flash which was also produced by Flattery and directed by Yukich.
