Phil Collins is a drummer first and foremost who knows how to sing.
He also plays the piano really well 😎
He. Was the drummer for Genesis only. So many of the band left. He needed to sing to keep it going. I saw him in Memphis in the early 80's. It
Was him and the Memphis horns. Phil played on every
Instrument and sang that night.
Drums, piano, guitar. I was really impressed great show.
No I’m sorry, that was Karen Carpenter!! She said it 50 years ago, before Phil became Phil!
In Karen’s case it was fending off comments about a girl drummer.
You guys cheat yourselves when you make a live version your first listen to a song.
@@lindawilliams2211 Check the band BRAND X. Uk, Collins is the drummer. ;-)
Phil Collins is recognised around the world as one of the greatest drummers in Rock history.
Paris, France 2004. Collins is 53 yrs old. The song was introduced in 1981. When you watch Genesis live, Phil often makes you think he will not make it to the mic or hit his fills in time. I think it is a little joke he likes to play, part of his subtle showmanship. His timing and pitch are incredibly spot-on all the time. He never misses a beat. Professional through and through.
It's crazy that he didn't really think he could sing early on. Yet he had one of the most distinct voices I've ever heard. And his pitch was incredible even into his 50s. Perfect relative pitch maybe?
I never get tired of him and especially this song. Just a brilliant and badass musician.
Alisa he did know he could sing he started off a a child actor in the musical Oliver playing Artful Dodger BUT he wanted to only drum he didn’t want to be lead singer
@@Gina-kb9xg Yes, Phil could act and sing but just wanted to drum. He did it incredibly well until 'forced' to sing lead. And fame and fortune followed. He is just so comfortable and confident behind the camera (or on stage). Real Swag.
I traveled from Indiana to France for this concert! 100,000 in attendance!
Me too, Pittsburgh to Paris
I saw this concert in New York, and Philadelphia. He also did Misunderstanding on the US leg that is not on the DVD release. :-( He is the best!
The bass player with the long gray beard is Leland Sklar. He has played with many great bands and performers and is active and has a TH-cam channel
What's funny is that many of the people who first heard, went to the first concerts with this song being played, are now old enough to be your grandparents, & this song is STILL ICONIC!!
Yes,we’re Phil’s age.
Phil was the drummer for Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the singer... when Peter left, Phil became the singer for Genesis.... Phil is one of 3 that have sold 100 million as solo artists and in a group
Yup. Pretty good company, too. Michael Jackson and Sir Paul McCartney.
If you’ve never been to a Phil Collins concert you’ve missed out on one of the best experiences life will ever give you.
I've seen Phil live and you are spot on.
Yes it’s one of my regrets that I didn’t see him in concert
Leland Sklar is the bassist. He’s the one with the long white beard. He’s played on over 25,000 songs and been on tour with a lot of the top bands of his time. He’s still playing and touring, both with his own band and with major acts. His TH-cam channel is really cool because he gives a lot of behind the scenes info about what different recording sessions, or tours were like.
He was Genesis' drummer and later he became a singer.
@LouismarieBelanger Well he didn't later become a singer. He only became the lead singer. He's been singing, dancing and playing multiple instruments since he was a child.
Born and raised in west London, Collins began playing drums at age five. During the same period he attended drama school, which helped secure various roles as a child actor. His first major role was the Artful Dodger in the West End production of the musical Oliver!. As an accomplished professional actor by his early teens, he pivoted to pursue a music career, becoming the drummer for Genesis in 1970 at age 19.
Hi guys...as someone that was on tour with Genesis for their Abacab tour 1981, l was able to see up close and personal the talent this man possesses. He was back on tour with Genesis 43 yrs later and the fact that he can barely stand anymore and has to sit while performing is so gut wrenching to me, but he does it...refusing to let his poor health hold him back...Rock Legend ...you should check out 'Mama' from his Genesis days
I hope you have incredible memories from them. I graduated high school in 81 and our music was incredible. I remember when Phil went on Miami Vice. So wonderful and edgy for the time.
@@kathymc234 l graduated HS in 80 and this means that both you and l and all the lucky babies born in the 60's were privy to the best music ever made...hands down :)
Phil Collins is a perfectionist, he not only plays the drums, sings, produces, writes, he's got it all! Definitely check out his solo albums they are great. Thanks guys👍❤️
He is also a film and tv actor.
Started off playing Artful Dodger in Oliver .. and was the lead in the movie Buster
@@Gina-kb9xg , that too, lol!
Paris 2004 I believe this song is officially 43 years old now and is still the most iconic rock/pop tune ever imo
Performed in 2004 Paris, France. Leland Sklar, world class bassist, Daryl Mark Stuermer, world class lead guitarist and Phil Collins himself, one of the top drummers of the world! Also let's not forget the other drummer, Chester Thompson! The Vine Street Horns and the fantastic backup singers! This is group full of stars!
I am 62 and I have been listening to him since he was with Genesis. And I bought this record when this song first came out. But I have never seen a live performance so when he went to the drums and played I went wild because I never knew he played drums until a friend of mine reminded me he played drums. I watch so many of these reactions to this video and I was wondering why no one else acted surprised when he got on the drums. Now I know, they already knew he was a drummer and I was the one who didn't know. HaHa
No womans in hot pants and transparent dresses, no wild camera shots and no coreogarphy of a whole sexy dressed dancer group.
Its just him and his presence...respect to Phil Collins.
Google for his band members Skylar, Chester Thompson, Darell Stürmer....
Unbeliveable that our young generation did not know who this living legend is.
I am vaguely familiar with all the other band members on this tour but, aside from Phil himself, I am most familiar with Leland Sklar on bass (I've been a bass player for more than 30 years so I am pretty biased).
The man is so amazing on the bass that he makes it look like he is compiling his shopping list in his head while playing riffs that are unbelievable. So much talent and so many monster hit albums with so many artists. He is at his best imo on stage with Phil. They mesh so well.
First rule of this song, never interrupt the drum solo!!!
The first rule of life. Do NOT sport a stache, until you are a grown-arsed man... It just looks like a disguise... (it just fits with your comment... I'm talking about the kid on our right, their left.)
Cheers
@@TheJimprez Actually the first rule in life when it comes to yourself is there are NO RULES...DO SPORT A STACE because if it is growing on your face then you are man enough to have one and trust me Twins...when you look like you do, and l speak from experience, there will always be people trying to put you down in one way or another ....always one bad apple but never let it spoil the whole bunch !!! PS TheJimprez....judging by your comment, these young MEN are more man than you will ever be and l do not even need to know you personally to know this fact :) CHEERS !!
@@donnamorrison4837 If you think there are NO RULES, then you are more F'ed up than you even know.. Good luck when the penalties for disobeying LIFE RULES catch up to you...
@@TheJimprez just like l said ....did not even need to know you personally and l hit the nail on the head
Is it playlist worthy? Silly rabbits! OF COURSE! 😂 He’s the GOAT!
Phil is a legend. Period. ❤
Studio version 1981. This live performance 23 years later. Fantastic Phil. Thanks for your reaction guys.
If you listen closely as he's about 10/15 feet away from the drums the audience beings cheering and clapping because they know where he's headed and what he's about to do. I've been listening to this song for almost three quarters of my life
Have probably seen what you just watched over 50 times IT NEVER GETS OLD❤❤❤❤
2:30 The problem with younger generations wanting instant gratification. The build up, the anticipation is all part of the experience. It applies to All good things, food, sex, driving, music, you yearn for the climax.
Yes. The chase is most of the fun.
Absolutely 👏👏👏
They don't understand sensuality. Just wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
Not bad for Tarzan.🐶
Phil had been singing this for 18 years up to this concert. Many artists would get burned out having to play the same song over and over. But I think Phil got better and more into it each time. One of the best live concert videos ever.
I'm 57 and this song still gives me chills. I saw Phil and Genesis in concert in about 1987 and they were fantastic! Glad you enjoyed it.
Phil was actually a drummer first, so he's a drummer that sings or at least he was. Now his son Nicholas plays the drums for the famous drop
drop? Could it be *group?
@@bkm2797 nope, famous drum drop
Ok, not a term I'm familiar with, but thanks for clarifying.
This song was also used in a long driving scene in a Miami Vice episode
This is an epic performance ! Phil is so talented, songwriter, drummer, singer xx
Phil Collins is a Perfectionist and does thing with timing....he doest want NO mistakes in his concert that why he is great of what he does. Plus, he started Gensis...and Peter Gabriel was from that Genesis Band
It's good to see the younger generation appreciating good music and actual talent!
It's become arguably Phil's best known and most loved song ever, thanks to its haunting lyrics and incredible drum solo, but did you know its history?
What a way to start! By 1978, he had been part of Genesis for nearly eight years, and had reluctantly accepted the role of frontman following Peter Gabriel's departure.
For the band's album 'And Then There Were Free', they had taken on a more mainstream sound, with songs such as 'Follow You Follow Me', with Phil's vocals at the forefront. He had been planning to do a solo album for some time by 1981.
Phil wrote the song during the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980. The divorce contributed to his 1979 hiatus from Genesis, until the band regrouped in October of that year to record the album Duke.
All of the original songs on the Face Value album, including follow-up hit 'I Missed Again', were intended to be "messages" to his first wife, in an attempt to lure her back to him.
Phil said in 2016: "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."
It spawned a spooky urban legend
The story goes that Phil watched as a man who once attacked his wife drowned. Another version was that Phil wrote the song about a man who watched another man drown, and sang it to him at a concert.
Yet another version claims that when Phil was a young boy, he witnessed a man drowning someone but was too far away to help. Later, he hired a private detective to find the man, sent him a free ticket to his concert, and premiered the song that night with the spotlight on the man the whole time.
Of course, none of these stories are true.
How was the song made?
The song is known for its atmospheric production and rather macabre theme, and was thought to have been influenced by the likes of Brian Eno and his ex-bandmate Peter Gabriel.
It consists of a series of ominous chords, played by a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 over a drum machine pattern (the Roland CR-78 Disco-2 pattern), processed electric guitar and vocoded vocals. The song builds up until an explosive burst of drums releases the tension.
Phil improvised the lyrics during a songwriting session in the studio. He said: "I was just fooling around. I got these chords that I liked, so I turned the mic on and started singing. The lyrics you hear are what I wrote spontaneously. That frightens me a bit, but I'm quite proud of the fact that I sang 99.9% of those lyrics spontaneously."
How did he get that iconic drum sound?
Phil's use of the song's drum beat came via an unintended use of studio technology. His Solid State Logic 4000 mixing board had a "reverse talk-back" circuit. Normal "talkback" is a button that the mixing engineer presses in order to talk to the musicians. Whereas, reverse talkback is a button-operated circuit for the engineer to listen to musicians in the studio.
In order to compensate for sound level differences, this circuit has a compressor on it, which can minimize the differences between loud and soft sounds.
While recording 'Intruder' for Peter Gabriel's third album, Phil started playing the drums while the reverse talkback was activated. Engineer Hugh Padgham was impressed at the sound, and so they rewired the board so that the reverse talkback could be recorded more easily.
It originally didn't have a drum beat before the 'magic break'
The original single version of the song features extra drums that play underneath the song until the signature drum crash. These were added after it was suggested to do so by Atlantic Records chief Ahmet Ertegun.
Phil said: "Ahmet came down to the final mix in the cutting room in New York. The drums don't come in until the end but Ahmet didn't know that at this point, because on the demo the drums hadn't come in at all; it was only drum machine all the way
"And he was saying, 'Where's the down beat, where's the backbeat?'. I said, 'The drums come in in a minute.' 'Yeah, you know that and I know that, but the kids don't know that; you've got to put the drums on earlier.' So we added some drums to the mix and put it out as a single."
My favorite singer and drummer of all time, I was lucky enough to see him perform in 2019 and 2021. Such great concerts!
The other drummer, Chester Thompson & Phil are like a pair of perfectly synchronized drum machines.
he always uses Chester on his live solo stuff along with Leland Sklar on bass {the Guru looking guy with the beard}. check out Phil & Chester doing a duet drum solo.
Should really hear his studio version of “I don’t care anymore” his drumming is killer!
The live version from Perkins Palace 1982 is even better.
@@jwsel ooh! Haven’t seen that I’ll check it out!😁
The absolute greatest concert i ever attended in Houston was Phil
Collins! 😊
one of the most iconic drummers ever!
Phil Collins is an icon! Love this song so very much. Playing drums and singing at the same time is difficult and he does it with ease. Love your reactions!
If you like 'angry Phil' check out 'I Don't Care Anymore' and also 'Mama'. (I love his little bow at the end of this video, he looks like "no worries, dude! I got this.")
No better live performance anywhere! And btw I was a young adult when this came out and we ALL knew how to play air drums!😂
PHIL COLLIN IS THE "KING OF ROCK"
Don Henley of the Eagles also plays drums and sings ❤❤❤
In 1985, for the Live Aid Concert, Phil played this song in England at Wembly Stadium in the UK, hopped on the Concorde, flew into JFK in NYC, boarded a helicopter to Philadelphia and did a second set there at RFK Stadium. An old friend of mine was there and he said the entire crowd sang the drum drop when it hit.
You didn’t know he was a drummer? He’s one of the best in the world 😀
I’ve been a huge fan of Phil’s and Genesis for years..
I wasn’t at this particular concert (Paris), but I did see him at Manchester and Glasgow during the same tour.
The concert started with Phil drumming.. on the drum kit on the stage. During in the Air Tonight, a the second set of drums appears as he walks up the stairs and towards them.
You’ll have noticed that he even stops halfway up the stairs and looks back… teasing us, with people wondering where he’s going “he’s not going to make it back down in time!”
Then of course, the second set of drums come up through the floor as he walks over (you can just about see them moving upwards in the video)
I’m not sure which venue it was, but during one concert of the tour, the drums failed to rise up. Phil jumped down into the hole and hit the drums as normal!
What a performer!
He played drums with Genesis.
I saw Phil live both with Genesis and solo back in the 89s. He was always incredible. My personal favorite song of his is Against All Odds
The guy playing drums on this before Phil sits down at the drum set is Chester Thompson, who was his longtime drummer for his solo stuff. There is a killer TH-cam video of them playing a drum duet that shows Phil REALLY playing drums, showing how much of a drummer he really is-in a word, a master drummer.
Ringo, Levon Helm (the Band), Don Henley, (Eagles) drummer from Night Ranger (sister christian). Singing drummers is not common, but not unheard of.
Don't forget the late Karen Carpenter!!!!
@@maryjennings4913
I try _very hard_ to forget her because her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me - I simply cannot bear her.
Roger Taylor from Queen😊
We can see a classic scene with this song, on the first episode of TV show "Miami Vice" (in 1984)
This song brings back memories of the summer of 1981. Great song from a great artist.
Leland Sklar one the greatest bass players to ever walk this planet, along Carol Kay, criminally forgotten………
The thing that really blew this song up was that it was used in a very popular show at the time, called Miami Vice.
The story arc was about to come to an end, so this song was used as s build up to the main shoot out event.
Miami Vice had a lot of big artists on their soundtrack list.
Another 90's type show that featured a lot of big artists of that time was called New York Undercover.
That show deserves it's flowers, but I digress.
This song is the perfect build up to an action packed scene.
Imagine that when that beat drops, someone in an action scene starts blasting...and then all hell breaks loose.
Yep. You can feel it and see it in your mind, right.
Perfect song.
Little know fact guys, that hets overlooked, because of queens performance in live aid in 1985, which was the greatest performance in modern history, that aside, phil also played at wembley in the UK
Live aid was a global concert in 1985, which ran for 16 to 18 hours, with the UK, the US and Australia, couple small other places used as fillers
every concert started after one finished, the UK, the US the australia, because of the time Zones.
phil did in the air tonigth at wembly UK, just on plane, flew against the time zones, and played in Philly the US section of the concert the same song
I ❤ watching reaction videos where they almost always say, "I didn't know he could play drums."
Phil was always a drummer and did back up vocals, but after lead vocalists quitting a lot they talked him into being the lead vocalist. You are right one of the hardest thinks to do is play drums and sing at the same time. He retired this year due to the years of drumming and him not being able to grip the sticks properly, and he was a perfectionist when he drummed, practicing 8-10 hours or more every day. His hands were so arthritic due to years of making music.
Phil is also the one who wrote and performed the music for Disney’s Tarzan. My son and I danced to You’ll Be In My Heart.
Even sang and recorded the whole soundtrack in 6 languages !
I've seen other reactors do this one so many times. It never gets old! The way he drives the beat is so amazing! It is extremely hard to sing and play drums. I have a goos friend who is a drummer and he sings too. He has always said it takes practice no matter how long you've done it. It is a lot of muscle memory.
Phil was the original drummer for the group Genesis. After Peter Gabriel departed, Genesis tried to find a replacement vocalist. At each audition, Phil had to keep showing the vocalists how the various songs should be sung. After a fruitless search, the other band members suggested that Phil should take up position as the vocalist. While he still played drums on the studio albums, they needed to get another drummer to fill in for the live performances. One of the absolute best studio drummers in the world was asked and consented to become a member of the live Genesis experience. They also needed another guitarist to join them for the live performances as Mike Rutherford was playing both guitar and bass on the studio albums. Enter Daryl Steurmer, a phenomenal guitarist who has performed on some of Jon Luc Ponty's albums. The gentleman you saw on bass for this performance was Leland Sklar. He is reported to be the best studio bass player in the world by almost any musician who has had the pleasure to play music with him. I first saw Phil perform with Genesis back on the Abacab tour. I have been to four additional performances by Genesis. The first time I saw Phil play some of his solo material he was joined on stage by the Phoenix Horns of Earth Wind and Fire with Richard Thomas on keyboards. I enjoyed two additional tours that Phil did on with his solo material. If you are interested in seeing a live performance with Phil and Genesis I would recommend the live melody with the song "In the Cage". Here is the link to that;
th-cam.com/video/_12_-jzqOlE/w-d-xo.html
It should be noted that the musical performance between Phil with Genesis and Phil doing his solo work are two very different beasts. There are so many great pieces of music that Genesis put out over the years that it is difficult to pick just one performance. i do think that this rendition of In the Cage is an excellent place to start.
What an amazing performance!!
He just finished a killer concert and is about to make an equally killer video with one of his signature songs. He was covered in sweat so that's why the change of clothes and getting his gear on. That's why the long build up. Then he came out and history was made. Well worth the wait!
Iconic phil Collins song. He's a drummer first.🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎
I can answer your question is this playlist worthy....that is a definite YES!!!
It's from the 2004 "The First Farewell Tour" DVD, but I don't know where.
ETA: Paris
Went to see Genesis live in London with Phil on the drums and singing. They were a great British band!
Best drum drop ever. Not the best drummer but best drop ever 😂My Dad actually played this for me for the first time. He had a rocking stereo and played this to show it off. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ 🙏 ☮️
Phil is easily one of the best drummers to ever sit a kit. He's a drummer first, then a singer.
@@mikemicrael5749
Certainly top 5!
A phenomenal piece of music-art from the past. Thank you Phil. 🙏🥂❤️⭐️🌷And…btw…your fancy 70s hairstyles is so cool. 👍🥂👊
The whole audience is waiting for the most iconic drum drop.
Thank you for picking the correct concert where Phil Collins and the band are at their best. Phil Collins plays the drums so good. The best. Phil injury his back from playing the drums and cannot play anymore. He always sings and plays the drums.
Running the roads during my teens blasting this song!!!! Sorry, not sorry lol. Great song!!
Ha ha!!! Everyone already said it! Phil is a DRUMMER who just happens to sing well😂😂😂 legend!!!
PS. You guys have fantastic teeth and smiles!😊
Unfortunately I have never seen Phil Collins in concert. This is my favourite live video. I would recommend particularly the album No Jacket Required. It was knocked out of its #1 spot after several weeks by a Genesis album while he was still a member of the group. I don't think he ever officially left the group but stayed on as lead singer and drummer
Ignore the people saying to not stop a video that you are reacting to. If they want to see the video uninterrupted, they can go to the video directly. Watching your reactions is what this video is about. Stopping at whichever point you want is what this is about!
You guys ask mindful questions. Good job.
You guys are definitely my favorite reviewers! So fun & on top of everything!!!
So from what I remember this is a personal message from Phil to a man that drowned his best friend when they were little boys. He wanted to meet the man and sing this revenge in my heart song to him.
I heard he invited the man to a concert to sing it to him ,but I'm not sure if that part is legend or true xx
Awesome song, I love Phil Collin’s ❤❤❤
He was the drummer in the original group Genesis as well
He used to be the drummer for Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the lead singer. Leland Sklar is the bass player…
Shout out to the guys that built that wall of programmable LEDs
Thank u guys! Btw, I love your hair. Reminds me of the 70/s early 80/s hairstyle. Like the Bee-Gees💗💗💗
Phil says he isa drummer who can sing "A LITLE" yeahhhhhh Phil your singing is GREAT...it is now and has always been!!! Nice reaction guys.....Peace out!!! HUGZZZZ
John Fogerty (of CCR) - I Put a Spell on You 1997 Live Video HQ
Music by UK artists is the very best. These musicians/songwriters/singers are true masters of their craft and it shows. Check them out and give yourselves a real experience.
it's a TH-cam rule that if you have a React channel, you _Must_ react to this Live. Also one day gotta check out his (impossibly named) : Sussudio
He was the drummer for a band called Genesis.
God forbid you're driving and this song comes on the radio cuz you have no choice but to bang on the dashboard when the drum part comes on.😅
Tracy chapman "Fast car" is a very iconic song that I think you should check out. You will not be disappointed.❤
🌸 this is really a great performance
Saw him. 4 times in Montréal hreat concerts 🎉😅
I can always set him apart he has a unique voice
Phil gonna Collins
🎧 💓 🎶
I cant remember his name but the bass player has played on thousands of hit songs for different bands and solo artists.
He played his LAST concert in Paris France in 2004
You guys were asking about the members of the band... Most of them are pretty well-known. Phil and Chester do a drum solo battle in the middle of this Phil and Chester do a drum solo battle in this concert. I think it's actually how the concert opens. The bassist with the beard has been with Phil a long time but he is also done other work. The lead guitarist is world famous. Even his backup singers (not featured on this particular song) are pretty well known in the music industry.
Watch the whole concert and you'll get a real idea about Phil and these guys and what they're about. One of the best concerts I've ever seen from start to finish!
😃 welcome to reality boys pay attention you will miss stuff in life glad to see this. I grew up with this
I love watching the younger generation react to this concert. I get so excited that ya'll don't realize what is coming with him on the drums! Please react to some more of the greats: Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Buffett (no one ever reacts to him and he has a cult following. His fans are called Parrotheads and followed him around the globe just to be at his concerts! Sadly, we lost him last year. Such a great human and artist!), Pink Floyd.....so many greats!!
Your stach is timeless
Highly recommend watching His Drum Battle with Chester Thompson his Drummer..epic
Darryl Stuermer on the lead guitar, Leland Sklar (the bearded wizard on bass guitar), and I think Chester Thompson on drums had been with Phil since at least the mid 80s for live performances.
I recommend "MaMa" (Live Concert Version) by Phil Collins with Genesis. There's a live version from Wembley I believe (older) and a newer version from 2007 Live Over Europe (Rome, I believe) A most unusual song by Genesis indeed... but very exciting to witness LIVE in concert...whether it's from the 80's 90's or the 2000's
This was my 12 grade school anthem for the seniors. Played at our Prom and graduation. Such a special song to me
The bassist Leland Sklar has olayed in so many albums it's crazy. Jackson Browne the doors the bee gees phil Collins the section hall and Oates Toto. The man is a legend 😊
GOOSEBUMPS STILL IM 59
