Only one of 3 people sell over 100 million as a solo and in a group... Phil Collins, Micheal Jackson, and Paul McCartney....
@@kush3614 I never knew that!!! What a stat!!! 🔥
When you think that the Jacksons are also a female artist who has sold more than 100 million records
You should watch Genesis’ Land of Confusion video. 👍
@@BlackPegasusRaps Listen to the Genesis album TRICK OF THE TAIL... and the song by that title. But if you want to go off on a major tangent in music.. song title In the Year 2525 from the 60's that made some startling predictions that appear to be coming true today
@@ninamravlja3632 yes this 100000000%
According to Phil Collins, "I am a drummer that sings a little."
He’s a Brit, master of the understatement, we are raised with this attitude 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Phil was already 56 years old at the time of the concert. He is simply an absolutely exceptional talent.
Don't forget, this is 23 years after the 1981 studio version. I still gets chills after listening to this a hundred times.
Me too
@@RobynHurley-zp9sh Same. Goosebumps EVERY time. And I grew up with it, have prob listened to it 200 times, watched the live version 50 or 60 times. IT DOES NOT get old!!!
I accidentally copied ya sorry yeah I get the chills too
Every time!
Yeah, this is like the song... Actually THE song. So old but still not, not old at all, would do anyone good to really listen.
Can you imagine being able to play the drums and still being able to sing like this. He’s absolutely amazing.
Saw another reaction and his singing is very much drum like. Staccato
Phil Collins is one of an extremely small group of musicians that can play the drums and sing at the same time. The control needed is phenomenal.
I have watched this performance so many times and I get goosebumps every time he starts playing the drums. Phil Collins was the drummer for the band Genesis, they formed in Charterhouse School, Surrey, England in 1967. Phil Collins joined the band in 1970 and when Peter Gabriel, the frontman left in 1975, Collins took over lead vocals. Yes, I've read that Collins wrote this song after he and his first wife Andrea Bertorelli divorced, and the singer was haunted by the emotions that came rolling in afterward.
I flew from Indiana to France for that concert! Almost 100,000 in attendance!
Perfection, plain and simple. The build up, the timing, the delivery, the drums, just perfect ❤
Phil Collins' song "In the Air Tonight" is about the anger, despair, and frustration Collins felt after divorcing his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli, in 1980. Collins wrote the song in 1981 for his debut solo album, Face Value, and released it as the lead single. The song's dark lyrics and moody drums reflect Collins' emotions, but he has said that the song's content doesn't represent anything specific. In a 2016 interview, Collins said, "I wrote the lyrics spontaneously. I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration".
I heard this same story many years ago.
I saw an interview with Phil and they asked him what the song was about. That's what he said it was. I remember growing up when this song first came out. The story at the time was Phil was watching a guy who just sat there while a guy was drowning and didn't help. Later at his concert he saw the guy in the front row and this was what the song was about. It wasn't, but you know how things go around.
That may be what he says publicly but I still have my doubts, they're very specific lyrics for a 'generalisation'....
@@martinarscott3524 Why would he fabricate that kind of meaning? Just say it's what poped out of my head one evening. Why go into detail about a relationship if that's not what is was about. I read the lyrics again and what he said "its about the anger, despair, and frustration Collins felt after divorcing his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli, in 1980" sounds pretty legit to me. Drinking will do a lot with someone's psyche. I never wrote any songs but did do drugs in the '70s and had some wild stories. Just saying.
Yes, I saw that Phil Collins interview, too. That is what he said.
Phil Collins plays many instruments. He is amazing live. I saw him years ago. The man is amazingly talented. This was my favorite artist I've ever seen live!!
Many rock artists hated Phil Collins. Why? The man was a hit maker. Phil has more hit songs than any artist. After retiring he said he was so absorbed in writing songs he MISSED LIFE.
Rock fans hated Phil for turning Genesis from a rock band into a pop band
Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and Mike Rutherford were all in Genesis. All are talented. Gabriel left first to do a solo career, and Phil stepped up as new lead singer.
Don't forget Tony Banks on keyboards. All four of them have done solo work. Genesis started out with just those 4. But their biggest success was after Peter Gabriel left with the album "Invisible Touch". I saw them on that tour and Phil Collins did a bit like the beginning of this video in that concert. It was cool. Also check out the video for Invisible Touch. It's cute. My favorite was/is Take Me Home. Love the song and the video. Also he was an actor and appears during the 80's on Miami Vice a few times. He is retired now as he injured his back and can no longer tour.
That's even referenced in the very amusing video that accompanied their song Rain.
But this song isn't about any of that. It is about his divorce
'I didn't know,Phil Collins played the drums'🤣Get's me every time!😅
I love showing these young pups what real music is lol. I loved this song from the beginning ❤❤ Phil Collins is an amazing artist
Phil Collins is literally a one man band, he can sing, play drums 🎸 guitar and keyboards 🎹 he wrote and produced all his songs.
Trombone. Trumpet…
This song will endure forever. Collins is a legend! You can't help but smile when those drums hit.
This song doesn't even feel like it was written. This song feels like it was manifested into existence from him diving into the deepest and darkest part of his soul in order to have an honest conversation with the monster he's been hiding from his entire life. I've gone back to this song during the worst moments in my life and it's given me the strength I've needed to survive.
You could say that that's exactly what happened with this song.
It is about his divorce
I love when you share your discoveries with others…especially the youngins’😊 He was the drummer & when Peter Gabriel left Genesis, Phil became lead singer also-but kept drumming!! I think the moment he’s waiting for is facing down the other man or his wife or both of them. “If you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand”
This is one of the best known drum entrances in the world. You hear the first 2 beats & you immediately know what you are listening to.
Harry Houdini said anyone can do magic tricks. The secret is knowing how to work the audience. You just watched a master of working the crowd.
Phil was going through a divorce from his wife who he caught cheating on him with another dude. He wrote this song as a kind of therapy from the whole emotional situation that he was going through at the time. Unfortunately Phil has had some physical health issues recently and he is not able to perform playing the drums but his son is a great drummer and he now plays father whenever he has a performance. Phil's voice has never change one tiny bit.
That's how it is
But he had ready been unfaithful while on tour. No one ever mentions that fact. And the wife he had after that, he dumped by fax as he was having an affair with another woman. He’s not Mr Innocent!!
Not to be overlooked is the man with the long white beard, playing bass, looks like a wizard - Leland Sklar, another music legend, prolific, contributing to at least 2,600 albums by various artists . Leland has a YT channel worth checking out - he often plays his bass parts along with recorded music for which he was the bassist originally. He has talked about his bass guitars, some also legends with stories of their own. Lovely man, currently a member of The Immediate Family composed of members of the studio group The Section (1970's). OK, I'll shut up now.
Leland Sklar ❤❗️❗️
Gabriel gets Levin. Collins gets Sklar. Friggin all star teams! lol 😂
@@leighterry2277Leland is a LEGEND!!
And it breaks my heart that he is crippled and deaf. He taught his son and hes awesome.
Phil Collins has explained that "In the Air Tonight" was written during a particularly turbulent period in his life, specifically his divorce from his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli. He has stated that the song's lyrics are not based on any specific event or story but rather reflect his feelings of anger, frustration, and heartbreak at the time. Collins has emphasized that the song's mysterious and haunting lyrics came from his emotional state during the divorce rather than any literal experience or incident.
The radio version of this song is an absolute banger in itself but to have it heard in concert it's just over the top.
The ultimate air drum solo song ever.
Another fun fact: Phil's daughter, Lily Collins, plays the lead character, Emily, in the Netflix show "Emily in Paris".
I remember being stuck in Dallas traffic on a hot summer afternoon and this song came on the radio. Somebody put an arm out their window and yelled turn it up... and we did!!!
It's one of those songs that after you leave the concert you start blaring it out your car windows lol
Your comment made laugh SO much! That must have been amazing and funny!
And when the drum drop started everybody played the dashboard drums😂
This song took off like a rocket when it was used as the backing track in a HUGE scene in the 1984 premiere episode of Miami Vice! Regardless of what Phil’s meaning was when he wrote the song, that moment in that specific episode will always define what this song means to me!
Phil Collins claims he has “no idea” what any of the words of "In The Air Tonight" mean. According to Phil; “Obviously, having my wife leave me, and losing my two little ones, there was anger, bitterness, and hurt. Those emotions are in the song, but in an abstract way. I have no idea what 'coming in the air tonight' means-apart from an impending darkness, possibly.”
Without any initial preparation, Collins had recorded himself singing freestyle to pour out his intense feelings of distress and heartbreak following his divorce from his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli. After listening back to these ad-libbed vocals, Collins reportedly wrote the lyrics down on a piece of stationery belonging to the interior decorator he says his wife left him for. Virtually all of the lyrics he wrote down made the finished version of “In the Air Tonight".
The song gained significant popularity after Phil Collins performed it on the British program "Top of the Pops", where he famously brought a can of paint and a brush to symbolise his ex-wife's relationship with the interior decorator. Bertorelli has since disputed this claim, insisting that Collins's "short fuse and preference for arguing" were the real reasons for the divorce. Either way, it was an acrimonious split, and that filters into the sound of “In the Air Tonight.”
The opening lines of "In The Ait Tonight" resonate with longing and anticipation:
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
I feel that these lines convey a sense of urgency and a longing for resolution, mirroring Collins’ own emotional journey.
Oh, absolutely!! That was what he said in an interview that I believe I watched here
on TH-cam!
I got from it from the words was catching, even walking in on a CHEATING situation after suspicions and past situations that lead finally up to a YOUR CAUGHT MOMENT. That is what I got long after listening to the words when you do not always go deeper into words when you are just into music and what is on radio of the past.
Anyone who has been cheated on by their spouse feels the fear, sorrow and anger - the beginning of Grief at the loss of broken vows and shattered dreams.
He goes through all five stages, in a five minute musical experience.
Phil was in the middle of a very messy divorce, he knows (and so do we) exactly what this song is about… another one that surfaced from him and shows the anger is “I Don’t Care Anymore”.
My goosebumps are stacked on top of each other, every time. ❤
brings tears to my eyes so bad ass
I’m 70 and have always said I would run away with Phil if he asked me to!! Wouldn’t pack a bag or even a toothbrush…just “Let’s go!!” We could be the old farts we are together. Such a talent. Everything he does is gold.
This clip is from an absolutely wonderful concert DVD 'Finally... the first farewell tour'. Just brilliant!!
best thing about the old days no phones
You are literally watching one of the greatest musicians of our time!! They are few and far between! I could recommend the rest of the great bands!
Collins wrote the song amid the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980. In a 2016 interview, Collins said of the song's lyrics: "I wrote the lyrics spontaneously. I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration."
That is not the story that I heard.
@@cheliebritt2192 This is from Phil Collins Interview, he said it himself!
Yes! teach these children what real music is.... And now I sound like my grandma😂😂😂
She was right.
Love Phil, "Take me Home" is an all time favorite.
Love Phil Collins voice & music which was a big part of my youth. It was a great time in the 70’s & 80’s for music & boy were we spoiled. Love your reactions & also watching you passing on the experience to a new comer & educating them with what you have learned about the artists. Thanks for sharing.
Phil said himself on an interview,that this song is left to interpretation ❤!
This is my little 8 year old grandson's favorite performance.
It was funny to me that he even knew who Phil Collins was.
😊
I love that!! If he's not already taking piano lessons, PLEASE get him started~ the best foundation for musical proficiency, before taking up any other instrument. 💯 God Bless!
@@faith.s_mom My mom taught piano lessons but I was too stubborn to let her teach me.
I wish I had let her teach me now.
Phil started as drummer for Genesis, and then, he was asked to sing. I ❤ his raspy voice.
I have listened to Phil for so many decades now....the man can literally go from one instrument to another with out missing a beat...trumpet' to string' to piano too whatever...true musical genius there....now with that said...how i was introduced to this song was through a show called Miami Vice...that show was so crazy good it is scary...and that song if a song can match a show perfectly it matched it! Love it! I also loved genesis as well....dude is a beast!
Phil is a badass drummer!!!
Seeing him in concert was so cool!!
The hook is when he runs into the guy screwing he's wife
He says i know what you did but you don't know who i am
So wipe the sm8le off your face
He walked in on his wife and the guy going at it
But they didn't hear him and he backed out and left
Rang lawyer to start divorce proceedings
Kicked he's wife out and they had prenuptial with time limit
So he didn't have to pay her either and never spoke to her again
All done by lawyers and wrote the song so she knows why
He did a interview on it
The reason he sings the song all the time is to release the anger that builds up in him
He's never forgotten and carries it with him all the time so its a copping mechanism for him
So you are both right in parts
To G seem a nice young lad well mannered hope he gets heaps of success in he's life path of choice
He's parents must be happy with how he seems to have turned out thoughtful young man
Cheers guys 🦘🇦🇺👍
The 'ah ah ah ah' at the end is what Phil overheard his wife moaning.
I say yes to more Phil Collins. I said the same for the Eagles, Billy Joel, Bob seager.I just like the the show, the guests and the reactions. Keep on keeping on brother. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
I saw Genesis in 1974 at the Indianapolis Convo Center, Peter Gabriel singing and Phil Collin’s on drums. I was 14, there were about 500 people there. ❤😊
Collins said of the song's lyrics: "I wrote the lyrics spontaneously. I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration." For a long time people thought the song was about a murder Phil Collins witnessed. That's just an urban legend ..
It's not an urban legend; it's a plot on the show Miami Vice. Phil played a con man who witnessed a murder and this song was used in the episode.
Yes an urban legend, he said he was still messed up after his divorce and just let out some anger writing it
I think his wife cheated on him and they divorced and he was angry!@@colinriley8738
@@colinriley8738 Right !
Miami Vice!❤
Absolutely 💯 🔥
That is the best song of all times!
Phil Colins was the drummer for Genisis, and became vocalist when Peter Gabriel left the band!
Love Phil Collins! He's so awesome. Love his voice. We miss you!! 💖 love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
He is a Goat !
I love to watch your reactions to the music that we love so much,that made us who we are,but I also love watching you share the fantastic music that you have discovered with young people.Its people like you who will insure these truly great artists legacies never die.
I read about Phil and his skill and devotion to music. I knew he was popular of course. This specific clip though is one of the best live performances I can say I have ever watched. If anything this is worth study to understand exactly how to rile a crowd. And yeah. Divorce. His own. I think some of the lyrics are describing how he felt during all that, like "waited for this moment all my life". Obviously he did not wait since birth to part ways with this person. It was just such a raw thing that it felt that way.
Love that you shared this with him! Such a great performance. I can't even listen to the studio version anymore.
You could do Phil Collins every day and I would never tire of watching . Ive watched this entire Paris concert so many times I've lost count.
I'd love to see your reaction to Take Me Home at the end of this concert. Phil and Chester start out on the drums and It's pretty epic IMO. And the crowd at the end makes it even more so..
More please❤🎉
I remember in the early days of social media, on either FB or MySpace, there was a woman in my feed whose posts were a repeated refrain of something like "I dislike Phil Collins, and his music is following me everywhere", and she would list the song name and the store whose background muzak system had played it that day while she was out and about. She has long since dropped off my radar, but for a while there in the 90's and early 00's Phil was positively ubiquitous...you COUDN'T get away from his music!
Love the audience clapping!
This is an absolute CLASSIC!!!
Goosebumps every time
I remember this song being released and every single time since then I get tingles when I hear it. Its incredible-hes incredible!
He can give an intensity to a song. I love his "I Don't Care Anymore"
Love that young man. Very refreshing and talented
That drum riff is recognized world wide.
Definitely ❤to see him back and see you react to more Phil Collins with him.
More Phill Collins please.
I love how you revisit great music with borrowed fresh ears.
I can see in your eyes that you are waiting for the moment when Phil wents to the drums and begins to play. And the reaction of your guest.
Goosebumps every time!
At least you got the correct and best video for this song!!!!!!!! Phil Collins and the drum amazing. He did the sound track from Disney's TARZAN.
He's been my idol since 1982 when I was in high school. I've collected all the albums and singles since Phil Collins joined Genesis. I really miss those wonderful years.
I wasn’t at this concert but I did see him live and it was amazing! The build up for this song gave me goosebumps and then there was the explosion of the emotion, sound, lights….no words are adequate! Love Phil Collins and Genesis❣️I also love that you’re sharing your new-found appreciation for all this new (to you) music with others! Music unites us!
Every time I watch this, when the drums are rising, before he touches them I get goosebumps and then he starts and goosebumps get bigger. Yes! Mike and the Mechanics was 3rd artist from Genesis.
You have to really listen to the words
PURE FIRE 💥💥💥
Divorce entails anger pain heartache loss and finally catharsis and rebirth! ❤ This song encapsulates it all perfectly .
I love the way you introduce younger people to some of this older music Great song and reaction
Pegasus, Got to do “I DON’T CARE ANYMORE” by Phil Collins next; another banger!!!! 🔥
"In the Air Tonight" is a mesmerizing song! In addition to the chilly synths, there are harsh, distorted chords-which Phil Collins liked to an “electric razor”-from guitarist Daryl Stuermer. And then there’s the iconic drum fill, which comes in quite late, just as the tension of the song reaches a breaking point.
It helped that Collins cut the track with producer Hugh Padgham, a proven partner in creating mammoth drum sounds. While working on Peter Gabriel’s self-titled 1979 album, Collins and Padgham discovered that Phil’s drums sounded incredible when recorded through the microphone that engineers used to converse with musicians on the other side of the studio glass. Such mics utilize heavy compression, which makes loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud. Padgham also ran the drums through a “noise gate,” which artificially cuts off recorded sounds right after they start. So, "gated reverb" was born; the drum effect that would power “In the Air Tonight” and define pop music in the ’80s.
iconic performance.
MEMORIES!! Love it, Thanks !! ❤❤❤
Lifelong Genesis fan. Phil is an icon in drumming history. I think they use this tune on Monday Night Football opening theme. Phil is one of the three most richest music stars ever. He sold a lot of records. With Genesis and his Solo albums.
My favorite Phil Collins song. Had the front row in front of the stage when it was Genisis, I saw him real close when he was Phil Collins. This man was GREAT IN HIS DAY. LOVE HIM!! You got to listen to more of his music. He played every instrument that you know. He is awesome. Today, he has arthritis so bad he can't play that well. But his son plays for him.
Your reactions are cool. I never get tired of hearing this epic performance ! xx
Caught his Love doin the dirty..BAM...the Truth of her and their relationship. Thans!
The amazing artists of my youth - the 60's & 70's! Phil Collins is one of the finest drummers of the 60's & 70's . . . Culminating as Genesis - Peter Gabriel.
You are right BP. Mike Rutherford was the guitarist for Genesis and Mike & the Mechanics
I remember watching the TV Show Miami Vice, they played parts of the song during intense times. This is the first time hearing the song all the way through. Thanks for playing this!!!
I think your take is spot on.
I had the honor of seeing genesis in 1985 in Atlanta Ga ..they are just as precise and vocally stunning as their ablums are
Always good giving the youngins good taste in music. I remember when this song dropped and hit.
I've always interpreted it as an emotional breakdown, a release of pent-up anger, frustration, heartbreak etc, just a complete meltdown.
I remember hearing this in the very first episode of Miami Vice on Sept 16, 1984. It was life changing!!!!❤❤❤
Watch the drums rise up from the stage floor when he approaches them at the top of the stairs,freakin awesome..🏴🫶🫶🫶🏴
Yes, bring in the next generation, and they bring the next one in and so forth. Good for you both, please keep it up!
This is Phil Collins first solo single after all the great Genisis years. I remember it from Miami Vice a few years later, which was revolutionary at the time for being the first TV show to use original artist soundtracks over covers done by others, which was much less expensive expensive for TV shows to use. It was also in the romance thriller movie Against All Odds for the sex scene in a cave, so @GFM17 got the lust vibes right, too. Please bring him back for other songs!
I an always impressed by lead singing drummers who can do both at the same time. Phil Collins is as good as it gets as a lead singing drummer.
