The audience knew from the beginning which song was coming and the summit was going to be enormous! This has been one of the UK's favourite songs forever!
The first time I saw this performance it blew my socks off and I haven't found them since, this was an astronomical staging and production, out of this world and beyond.
Nice One:)
Many thanks.
So good to see a mother daughter reaction channel. You girl's do a great job. You mom's an Angel, she's so truthful and I'm a senior who appreciates a woman like her and her reaction. Phil's Collins cand do it all. Write, Priduce, play Drums & Piano. He's a Pied Piper who I just don't know who doesn't have a song for them to appreciate by him. Rest in your retirement Phil you earned it.
Thank you Robert! I appreciate your beautiful kind comments. 🥰
What most people do not know. Phil collins health has been deteriorated. I think he did this 8 years ago. I think this was the last concert. If so he went out on top🇬🇧
The greatest drummer of all time that solo, says it all
Phil is one of the best singer/songwriters and is one of the best Drummers in the World. It is so sad that he is so very ill at the moment 🥲 !!!!!
He wrote this song about catching his wife cheating on him with another man and going through a divorce. Listen to the song again in that context and it will make sense. Phil Collins considers himself a drummer first and a singer second. He's amazing! This is real music!
Wasn’t that phenomenal? I’ve listened to this version at least a dozen times! Thank you for reacting to it!
You wouldn't no good music if sat on your face 😂
I actually was at that concert in Paris. Still one of the best concerts .I've seen ..😉
I wasn't in Paris but I was in a concert of that same tour in Finland. Watching videos, and the DVD, of the tour just feels like it hits different when you remember the feeling of actually being there.
I don't really like the original, but this one is better.
Phil came to everyone's attention as the drummer for the group Genesis. After the original lead singer left, he also became the lead singer for the band. He then had a great career as a solo artist. He does have a very powerful voice and was strong enough to sing while playing. Phil no longer performs on stage, mainly because of his health. He feels that he is no longer strong enough to sing and play the drums anymore. So instead of disappointing his fans, and wearing himself out on stage and giving his fans a subpar performance, he retired from performing. Great reaction to a fabulous song.
And speaking of the original singer for Genesis, Peter Gabriel went on as a solo artist, and is well worth checking out as well.
Partially correct. Due to nerve damage and back surgery he stopped playing the drums years ago (he no longer could hold the sticks). He just finished the last Genesis tour in 2022 singing from a chair. He hasn't retired but said that was the last Genesis tour.
@@paule6752 Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" , was voted one of The Top 3 Music Videos on MTV along with Bohemian Rhapsody and A-Ha's "Take On Me".😀
I think they know who he is.
@@MarkCucchiara That, and the fact he's pushing 80.
To see this icon today and what he must be going through confined to a wheelchair and not being able to perform is so heartbreaking.
You felt it the right way, girls. Thank you for bringing me back into my first time I heard this live. This EPIC buildup. This is the finest XX century art there is.
Once you learn this was written in anticipation of his confronting his ex wife for a divorce the song takes on a whole different meaning.
Don't worry about pausing, ladies! At least you didn't do it at THE moment, which others have done because they didn't know the song. I think a lot of us hold our breaths, hoping that it won't happen, and you didn't disappoint. Love your reactions!
I totally agree.
Watch this whole concert... but in particular the buildup on song #1 is INSANE... and three sets of drums going at once. Worth watching just for that alone.
No auto play no lip-synching no glitter cannons no ass shaking just pure music and people actually playing instruments!!! my wife and I attended the show in Paris the electricity in the arena. The video does not do it justice.
The song that helped make the 1980's television series 'Miami Vice' world famous. The city of Miami, Florida has adopted this song as their own. Epic performance...
Risky Business
Mesmerizing is the word you're looking for. Hypnotic.
The most focused performance I have ever seen….
The best reaction ever....you two captured the tone and mood of the live performance. The build up and then explosion of his drumming. I air drum to this song at work whenever it comes on and the younger staff applaud.....and I'm a proud 70 year old.
Thank you Stanley! That’s a wonderful complement. 🥰
It sounds like you’re a fun happy young man… the type everyone loves to hang out with. ❤️
@@generationgapreacts thanks but my youth left me quite a while back. I'm 70 .........
Phil gets everyone when the beat drops. A drummer who can sing
This is a great live version! Phil Collins is best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis in the 70's & for his solo career. He has had so many great hits such as "Another Day In Paradise", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Against All Odds", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Take Me Home", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind Of Love", "I Wish It Would Rain Down", "You Can't Hurry Love" etc.
Now this man has POWER! Phil Collins is a powerful singer, and impossibly strong drummer, and has a presence on stage mesmerizes everyone in the audience. I have idolized this man for years, and have tried for a long time to sing his songs right. Many people have praised me for my covers of his songs, but I know that I will NEVER be able to match him. Thanks for reacting to this song! You two need to react to 'Don't Lose My Number', 'Sussudio', 'Another Day in Paradise', 'Take Me home', 'One more night', and 'A Groovy Kind of Love' to get a feel for his music. He has a wide scope of music, and you need to watch him more!
Phils the man. A legend is his own time.
You are 2 stunning ladies who i now watch regularly,it was an amazing performance by phil ❤
I was there, I saw it, I heard it, I FELT IT!
Phil is Phil..... Hats off!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
He wrote this song after he discovered his wife was having an affair. The guy in question was a painter and decorator and he once performed the song on British TV with a tin of paint and a brush on display. True story.
Bingo. It's kind of a shame you two were not aware of what this song is about. Well stated @sisulart 👍👍 I was coming here to state exactly what you had already done. Thank you👍⚘
While I've known for a long time what this song's about, I quite enjoy the fact that I still like to attach something far more sinister to it. For me, it's almost a mea culpa, an admission of having killed someone who's done him some serious wrong, and the lyrics are what Phil's saying to that person before he does the deed.
I remember seeing it on TOPS , playing keyboard on a Black and Decker Workmate , but I didn’t get the reference, thanks for the information
Facts 😂
bull shit
If there was ever a performance that can be called 'mesmerizing', this is it. Keep in mind that singing and playing the drums is extremely difficult, more than other instruments. The physical movement of drumming throws your voice off, and then you have 5 different rhythums you're keeping track of in your head (2 feet, two hands, and the melody)
Singing and SITTING is already difficult, because you're constraining your lungs and your diaphragm, but then playing the drums on top needs a lot of energy as well, and hence, air, so makes it that much harder.
Explosive is the word when he starts the drum.
Such a fantastic artist, Phil Collins, never lets you down! He is incredible! Still keeping perfect control of his voice, you wouldn't know he is playing the drum simultaneously if you weren't seeing him.
@@ohauss You would think it would be hard, but it's not really. I've been singing solos at my church for over twenty years and sometimes I play piano while I'm singing. Now, singing and playing drums at the same time is a different story. I guess that's why there's not many singers who also play drums and I have nothing but respect for anybody who can do it.
@@j.woodbury412 Don Henley of The Eagles was another Drummer/ Vocalist who also had this talent nailed down But there are not many.
i grew up too this song in the 80's in high school.
A great performance by the man
one of the best shows I ever seen❤❤❤❤❤
Phil Collins is a Phenomenal Drummer, plus being able to sing with control whilst drumming ..... Pure Talent❗️
If you grew up in the 80's this song will never leave your mind. My mind instantly pictures me as a 16 year old driving 100mph on a freeway near my house in pitch black (the atmosphere was unreal) with this song cranked to 11. Still one of my favorites ever and not sure that will changed. The drums part is absolutely epic. Everyone who knows the song instantly starts playing air-drums out of habit.
ATMOSPHERIC!
wait for it, wait for it,
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Woow 👍🏼 you are just pumping out gooood music today the best Celtic music by Nightwish " i want my tears back" from Buenos Aires ❤️❤️❤️ And Phil Collins stunning live show "in the air tonight" THX for a good reaction on Nightwish and Phil Collins ❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️
Love the way guitarist Daryl Stuermer makes that instrument sound like it's weeping.
Brilliant performance from a great performer. One of the best ever live versions of a song.
The guitar strums at the start make the hairs stand up. And then the drums drop. WHAT THE FCK? . Amazing. Great reaction. Love from UK.
Phil was one of the best rock drummers ... who accidentally found himself being a singer. The rest is history.

Mesmerizing performance.
Luv watching two. My Dad and I were both audiophiles. I lost him 10 years ago, but I find a little solace in your channel.
You two take care and enjoy this wonderful & classic song and great video......... I am surprised at how good the boom mike Phil is using. Thanks to you both.... Is he focused or what??? Girl this is your channel, so pause when you like.. Do not pay attention to the Negative Nellies out there! You both know they are out there... They should start their channel... I am surprised you did not play your air-drums..... Thank you two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was that great or what???
Looks like you 2 pretty ladys had some eargasms. The great Phil collins in your ear. Hope you enjoyed.
1st guitar lick...PUMPED!!!!!!! How frickin intense is this!!!??? Yep, same intense like nervousness. Gotta say I wish I was there for this live!! You can just feel the seething, burning anger coming off of him. GREAT Performance!! loved the reaction ladies!
Oh Man, there will never be another Phil Collins!!
As some have said, he was the drummer for Genesis when Peter Gabriel was lead singer. Then when he went solo Phil took over the lead vocals and the rest is history. Peter leaving the band was a huge favour to all of us because I dread go think what the world would be like if Phil didn't have the chance to shine.
When the drums hit in this song its breathtaking, the power of his drum skills and vocals are a match made in Heaven!
I saw Phil's first ever Top Billing performance with Genesis with 3,000 others in Croydon, South East London, in 1972 a mere 50 years ago, when the original Top Of The Bill: "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded the day b4 the gig.
Can you imagine being in that audience? You'd be reacting not only to the build-up of energy from the performance but also the energy given off by the other fans, the adrenaline rush from that one song alone probably guaranteed that not a single fan slept that night but when they did finally sleep, they crashed hard.
Such an iconic performance. 5 minutes of a slow buildup of emotions comes flying out with the first drum crashes. Gets me every time!
Phil is an icon and truely talented. This song really helped his solo career, in my opinion. Funko needs to make a pop of him ASAP. Great reactions ladies.
One of the best live performance ever
I would call it explosive,when the drums start...very dramatic video,very dramatic performance by Phil Collins..it must have been quite a momen there both for Phil Collins and to the audience...the lights,the darkness too,added to the entire experience of being there for sure...I can totally understand that they audience became this involved,emotionally as wel,as well as you two Generation Gap reactors...
He really has no idea what this song is about. There have been many urban legends and rumors made up about the meaning. But, in his words he had just broke up with his wife. He was alone in his home feeling low, and it came to him. Needless to say, his ex - wife hates this song. LOL.
Collins has been plagued by a number of health issues over the last 10 years, beginning with an injured vertebrae in his upper neck in 2009. He sustained the injury while he was performing and it left him with crippling nerve damage in his hands.
He underwent surgery to repair the vertebrae, but he lost feeling in his fingers and could only grip drumsticks if they were taped to his hands. The injury soon left him unable to continue playing the drums that made him a star.
Moms reaction was so awesome.... pure 1983 born and know this songs....
Funny. You both turned into wobbleheads when the drum beat dropped. 😂
To the daughter -- you are young, so you are forgiven. This is a masterpiece!!! In other reviews of this, I learned about a vocoder. Phil's sense of timing is perfect. It appears he is just out for a stroll, yet he arrives at his drum kit just in time for his iconic solo!! Everone in the world knows this drum riff...... Play your air-drums!!!!!!!!!!!! Both of you are correct in that it is a buildup! You two will see!!!! At 8:something boom there it is! I am uncertain which one of you two liked it the most. It is EPIC!!!!!!
Mr. Collins is a master of his craft. AND it proves in this performance.. GREAT......................................... You two take care. Thanks.....................................
This concert has lots of great Phil Collins songs in it.
One of my favorites is "Drums, Drums and more Drums/Take Me Home". That one is a crowd pleaser and has the whole arena singing along.
Generation Ladies
Bassist, Leland Sklar, bearded man has his own TH-cam channel. Leland talks about his time touring with Phil Collins and Genesis. Sometimes, he plays his Bass along with Genesis' and Collins' songs including this song.
Not only was PhilCoins the drummer for Genesis for decades, but ha a dide project ith Jazz / Fusion vand Brand X.
He also layed with Led Zeppelin at Live Aid due to John Bonham having passed away
The build up...is unbelievable! Love this song...as a teenager of that time...& now! Its timeless! Such a powerful performance....❤
he did this with a crowd of 80,000, but they were very good behaver-ed for him but I don't think that I have ever heard the applause so loud, that they gave him at the end
Phil is like a panther prowling the stage in this performance. Fitting since the beginning is like a mysterious jungle.
Another drummer that sings at same time....Eagles "Hotel California" Live 1977
Also Paulina Villarreal of The Warning. She was drumming and singing along back when she was 7!
The song itself evokes an intense dark feeling of anticipation and dread. As if the day of reckoning is coming for the person he is singing about.
I was lucky enough to have seen Phil perform live a couple of times. But it was way before he started doing THIS version of In The Air Tonight. What a masterpiece of showmanship. The crowd must have felt like they were both watching a live performance and a part of it at the same time. Thrilling!
Hi ladies there is a lot to choose to react to from the great Phil Collins Against all odds Another day in paradise One more night those are my favorites from him any song you react to from him you will like keep up the good work ladies.
I remember it from Miami Vice the TV series, it was awesome show, good song yeah 🎤👏😎
I love the look on your face when you see the drum kit rise from the floor as he's approaching.
Great reaction you two. The slow build up to that explosive climax was a masterful performance by Phil and both of you exemplified the effect this has had on nearly everyone that ha seen it. Super job guys, well done.
I loved your reaction when he started drumming. When your the best, your the best. I used to run i had Phil on my headphones. Motivation
Great reaction. Phil's performance of the song Mama is incredible.
Love the expressions on yall's faces! When yall said 'it's building up to something...' I told yall through the computer 'yep, just wait for it bcoz it is awesome.' My favorite version of this one is when he and Eric Clapton were live at Montreux, Phil was drumming for Eric and then did In the Air at Night, it was the best.
Ex genesis drummer turned lead singer after Peter Gabriel left oh love watching you both enjoy it ... Miami vice theme song in the 80s no cheap comment but your beautiful tell mom Hi ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Seen Phil live in Glasgow Scotland. Brilliant 😊
Interesting that you mentioned the lighting. As I remember, Phil Collins was inspirational in the development of the Vera Light system (those robotic color/pattern changing lights) for his invisible touch tour, now a staple of show and theater lighting.
And now, my 3rd comment. Phil performed this song live outdoors at Live Aid in 1985. It was just him singing and playing the piano.
Amazing live performance!!!!
Phil Collins was also a pretty good actor....his Miami Vice bad guy made for great TV back in the 1980's. And yeah...at 6'6" I had the Miami Vice Jackets and pants!!! I always wore Cowboy boots...which elevate me closer to 6'9"!!! 😂😂😂😂
This song takes me back to Miami vice
The anticipation is kind of like a kid on Christmas Eve. 😀
Great reaction to genius. Just as with Genesis (his 'other' band), things are so well done and thought out, very intentional. Phil Collins sure does know his stuff. Dramatic, intense, surprising shows he knows what he is doing. Well, after all he studied drama through 'high school' (or the English equivalent). His acting is quite good. Besides emoting emotion in his concerts, he can emote on screen. Check out his 'Phil the Shill' on Miami Vice (Season 2 Episode 12) and also 'Buster' (1988), a full length movie starring along with Dame Julie Walters. Such a confident talent!
Before being a singer, Phil Collins was a drummer with Genesis. And what a drummer he is! One of the best, if not the best, ever.
One of the most outstanding incredible ambiguous phenomenal and epic concerts in the history of music by the one and only Phillip David Charles Collins!!!😍🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is my second comment. There is a clip on TH-cam where Phil was in the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon 6 years ago. Jimmy asked him what inspired the song. Phil said the song was written partly out of anger from his divorce. He eluded to a sadness stage where he tried to reconcile, and then an anger stage. The song was first released in 1981. Then, later, he would meet Lily’s mom, and marry her. This live version came out in the 2000s. I think it was 2003. By the way, you paused it and talked about it in the perfect spot.
The audience anticipation is such an incredible part of the experience imo! They want to watch the drum part but they had NO IDEA how much fire he was gonna bring with it!
The best live ever!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great Reaction to a superb song, excellently performed and I saw Phil's first ever Top Billing performance with Genesis with 3,000 others in Croydon, South East London, in 1972 a mere 50 years ago, when the original Top Of The Bill: "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded the day b4 the gig. I did keep recommending this as one of 6 wonderful Live performances and I know you have covered Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb-Live" so we still have:- GARY MOORE: "Parisienne Walkways @ Montreux) and GARY MOORE; " I've Still Got The Blues For You in Paris" ...Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven at Madison Square Garden" and The Eagles: " Hotel California - Capitol Centre-1977" ALL EPIC so ENJOY LADIES😀
2:30 that's Leland Sklar, one of the greatest bassists ever. He made over 2000 bass sessions, he also played with Toto and among others like James Taylor. He has a TH-cam channel too. By the way, another new subscriber here from Puerto Rico!
Phil Collins was a good Actor too. He starred in the film The Great Train Robbery which was about one of the biggest heists ever, in 1963.
❤ Iconic!
One word comes to my mind everytime I hear that song HYPNOTIC. 😊
I LOVE percussion and always loved Phil Collins…not many drummers become lead singers and his music was so cool for all the percussion. Even the Tarzan soundtrack was awesome because of his percussion skills.
Great reaction, this is DEF his nest recorded performance of this song
che grande esibizione mamma mia!
Your reactions to the best part of the song when he hits that famous drum part was so cute, you make me smile.
Both of you are so adorable. Love this song & this version is awesome
I had really tears in my eyes. Because there were so many good music between the 1960s and the 1990s. And nowadays I am still waiting for those kinds of revolutionary changes that occured in the older days. It makes me sad that rock music in its complete spread has vanished today. There are only small singular events today.
Lovely to see both your expressions the longer the song went on . Fantastic.
Great choice . Turned gray on my record player almost 40 years ago. Another good song is, Another Day in Paradise
Check out the Bee Gees performing at Nelson Mandela's birthday. Phil was drumming for them. He loved the stomps in You Win Again.
Might I suggest you watch Phil Collins singing (and playing keyboard!) "Long Long Way To Go" from the "Live and Loose in Paris" show.
It will break your heart
This was absolutely phenomenal! Phil Collins is an icon. This song was written after his divorce. Love your reactions!
Simply epic
Another fantastic live version song is Take me Home.
