Unfortunately we can’t see him play anymore due to all of the stuff going on with his body. He was one of the best drummers ever. Edit: He really should’ve changed his setup over the years though, having the snare really low and the hi-hat low to have clearance for the concert toms, meant that he had to play in kind of a bent style, which is not great for your back.
@@trapt29 I know. I wasn’t saying that what he was doing with his kit set up that way was bad or anything, I was just saying that he should’ve maybe changed up his set up to prevent his back damage. Playing with the snare that low and the hi-hats low can really take a toll on your back over time.
Phil Collins was my favourite drummer when I was a teenager and started playing drums. I moved on from Genesis to different music over the years. BUT - and it's a big but - I still love his drumming to this day. Just love it. I can't say why exactly. It's not so much his technical ability and timing, which are great, but it's his approach to the drums, the melodic style of his playing, how he makes everything he plays heard, he has a fantastic understanding of drums as an instrument, his drumming just sings on its own.
It's so sad to see Phil Collins so run down by his medical issues. So sad to think that illness has stolen such a great talent. We'll never see his like again. ❤❤❤❤
I saw him twice in the 80s when he was a his peak. I couldn't bring myself to go to the last concert tour and watch such an amazing talent & hero to me, ravaged by time & injuries. Time can be so cruel.
Don't worry an out the snarky comments.... Phil himself has spoken of how he feels his grooves in terms of kinds of body movement, dance-like......and Phil WAS a trained musical-theatre performer from childhood, with incredible coordination (the dude was still nailing the tambourine-dance on "I Know What I Like" into his 40s... not that it was Cirque du Soleil level stuff, but keeping a BEAT on all his bodily surfaces? Not easy). He described playing a complicated odd-time bit like "Apocalypse in 9/8", or "...in that quiet earth" as a "smooth, machine-like circular motion", or, rather than dividing beats into easy chunks (MUCH easier to play Rush covers than Genesis prog-covers, for some of us, because their rhythms are modular, like rhythm-legos you can stick together to build more complicated ones), Phil would sing the bass line or another part which carried the pattern of the tune, and improvise over that thread.... by feeling and response, rather than by the math or any formal technique. Phil's basic technique - his posture, his wrist position, his favoring of double and triple strokes with his hands - all reflect how Phil drums from FEEL. People criticize his technique because it is not "correct", and in fact it is the main reason why he suffered the nerve impingement in his neck which led to his paralysis, pain, succumbing to it by way of alcoholism after a relatively clean-living life for a rock star. But "technique" isn't determined by how perfectly you match the textbook. Most professionals who've studied can read music and get into the stylistic recipe for a particular project. Steve Gadd knew the differences between what he needed to bring to a Steely Dan gig, to a Janis Ian gig, or the Manhattan Jazz Quintet.... or a Peter Gabriel vs a Tony Banks solo album. And Steve may be the single best at that, one of the true elite professional hired guns in music history. Steve played everything correctly, was a master technician, but also a consummate MUSICIAN, an artist. There are countless solid pros who have no particular artistic voice, who simply don't have the feel, the infectious time and tone of a Steve Gadd. Phil's technique was personal, unconventional, but it was still the technique of a master. An eccentric master....Neil Peart sang Phil's praises in a 2010 article in Rhythm, particularly his "refined technique", the lyricism, the physical command, the creative groove in any time signature, the touch and perfect execution - for the purpose of the song, in a much wider range of dynamics and feel than required for Neil's own playing. But Phil wasn't a Steve Gadd, though he was just as reliable in a different way. Phil would always play what felt right, and there was immense variety in his drumming. His groove and pocket would be fat and deep, precise, but just a shade behind the beat which gives that delicious feeling of tension - or perfectly on the beat if the R&B was more pop than funk. It could be twisty and complicated (see Rafael Rudd, "Awakening", produced by Pete Townsend - Phil learned those unique jazz-classical-folk-rock parts in a run-thru or two), or it could be straightforward (see Easy Lover), but the drums would be perfect, with just a few little accents to make it special, no matter how basic. Feel would always win. And those arm movements in Hand in Hand was Phil dancing as he played.
+Both Sides of Phil Collins AMEN!!!! I have wished and waited for a chance to see video of a Collins show that is totally isolated on him behind the kit. The director Jim Yukich always did outstanding work capturing the amazing stuff he did back there, and this definitely shows it. This is BRILLIANT....if you have more, please keep them coming! What I wouldn't give to see the same isolated camera for he and Chester Thompson for the "Invisible Touch" tour at Wembley Stadium in '87. Thank you so much this!!!!
I could not agree more. BTW, Jon Anderson, from Yes, asked him to join early in their career but he never went to audition. Anywho, freaking Phil Collins, man! Amazing!!!
Typical Phil Collins at 6:05s - something which he did throughout his career (those of us who have been Genesis fans for over 40 years AND play the drums) - he does ultra tasteful touches which are simple, yet so creative and imaginative, I've never seen anyone play drums like at 06:05s. Sums Phil up for me.
Jez I am, have you went back in the old times of genesis and see how phil zones out when he was playing his drumms and just chewing his gum and really getting into it? If not go back and watch it is funny but awesome.
@@amandabooth6138 I know exactly what you mean, and actually, being a 70's Genesis fan, think that Phil's best playing is when he was in his 20's and 30's. When he plays, whatever the tempo of the tune, he seems to have all the time in the world. I cannot say enough about how beautiful a drummer I've always thought him to be (and that's before anyone says anything about all his other talents and skills).
I'm not saying I'm anywhere on the same planet as Phil, but it's scary when I listen to and watch him how much he influenced me as a drummer. Saw him on his Face Value tour and the Genesis tour in 1983ish. I'm still playing at age 57. And singing.
Been in lockdown for 3 months due to Cov-19... 2020. Can listen to him For hours, hours, and day after day. Best time in my Life was going to his concert in the 80's and 90's. Best drummer in my time. Music was amazing he is so talented 😍. GOD bless him since he fell Off the stage. He may be walking on a cane now. But, he will always be the BEST drummer, piano 🎹 Player and Singer EVER. In my 30's!!!! God Bless 🙌 him for his talented career 🙏.
@@jeffwelsh8030 You can see it from 2:30 onwards, basically after he hits the snare drum normally, he then gently/quietly hits it again on the off beat. Drives the beat forward.
What love and passion for music transforms and leaves marks and legacies on generations and generations of fans... His sensitivity and love for drums, brings as a personal mark, placing him as a great musician, versatile and drummer.... I love it❣️
I love how he sits in that groove, spicing it up with delicious little flourishes, but keeping it moving forward. What a wonderful feel he has for the kit.
Tom George Absolutely! His feel is incredible. Every note he plays is perfect for the song. And he’s busy but I️t doesn’t distract. His cymbal hits are dead on too.
Yeah, hes mostly trying to replicate the record since it's all based on sporadic horn stabs. The drums are best when played verbatim on a composition that is meant to be a specific way. Hes not just grooving randomly. He hit them all here.
it's way more than drumming it is the composition, the ensemble, the magic of what this man has created both behind and in front of the drum kit is unmatched, anywhere, by anyone.
Phil is god ! He doesn't deserve the stick people give him ! the man is an absolute genius an inspiration to me as a drummer sit back and listen to the music !
@@amandabooth6138 The difference between a good musician and a great musician is song writing. Yes there are better drummers but not ones as prolific as Phil.
I am not a drummer, but watching him play is absolutely amazing! It's like he's in a different world. I was lucky enough to see him play in Atlanta in the 80's - one of the best concerts I ever went to!
amazing drummer, you watch him closely on the snare, adding various amounts of dynamics ( ghosting) throughout, that's skill and totally in the groove. Wish I could play like him
You're right, it does help keep time! But the technique is wonderful, I see what Phil means when he says" His playing is all about touch (feel) " the ghosting is top stuff
The combinations he put into that song were amazing. I saw that concert in 1990 and here I am, 2019 and still blown away. He is, or was a master of his craft. Legend Phil...
Phil has had 'several surgeries for Nerve Damage on his left arm, hand, wrist'. Sad. He really played well and for decades. Since age 3 and it caught up with him. Thank you Phil for the memories. We are sorry you paid this price. Be well sir...
This is one of my favorite videos to watch. Love watching him play his drums. Multifaceted artist (all arts) . I can see how much he enjoys playing the kit. He grooves right through. Such a great song. I get a kick out of Phil suiting up & primping to go up front. 🤭🥰 #getphilvotedin to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. He deserves it. Join the campaign #getphilvotedin
The musical genius of legendary Phil Collins and the wonderfully talented musicians he surrounded himself with time and again! Hand In Hand, Saturday Night And Sunday Morning, The Westside etc were some of the greatest pieces ever written and played! Phil never overplayed and gave such harmony to each piece. Add in the horns and Wow! Thanks for this absolute gem!
A man content in the moment that’s he’s created. Say what you will about him but he’s one hell of an entertainer. Countless hours listening to his work.
I think such an inspiration is an understatement. When Neil Peart of Rush first heard Phil’s drumming with Genesis and Brand X, he knew he had to step up his game. Many drummers got started because of Phil and his playing.
Would Love to see his son play this !!!!!! Saw Phil Collins recently in concert and his son filled in and that young man did not even fall off the tree from his father !!!!! Good Lord, the talent was passed on !!!!
In Phil's recent Autobio 'Not Dead Yet' ( which is a brilliant read) he writes under a photo of himself drumming in the 70's and I quote....' Me in my element, not one of the greats as many would claim but very good' Phil mate you were definitely NOT very good, you were absolutely amazing!
@@brianpeters867 i'm saying that you are entitled to have an opinion on Phils playing, but he himself saying i'm just" very good", carries little water, even though he is great. hence the saying about self praise..... hope that makes sense...all the best.
I have been a fan of Phil Collins and Genesis since 77before all the solo started. I just love the dude. I saw this. Tour at gund arena in Cleveland. A nite I will never forget
Phil is SO MUCH MORE than "In the air tonight" and this song is a sample of what else he has to offer. His Genesis music with Gabriel on lead vocals is ball tearingly brilliant.
The year is 1990. You are at the peak of your powers. People hate you because you are everywhere. People hate you because you play pop music. You're are still playing drums and singing in the most successful prog rock band ever. You have Earth Wind and Fires Brass Section. The greatest bass player in history. Genesis's lead guitarist. Your start a gig like this. #philcollins
Exteremly under-rated this song is, and album. Been a blast enjoying Phil's music, and what an inspiration he is with his music and Genesis. Wishing you all the best bud, and thank you for everything, and inspiring. One of my favorite tracks. True masterpiece. Especially with his live concerts.
Just the intro to this song give me goose bumps....I know what's coming. Plus, this, "Droned," & "The West Side" kept me from losing my mind from sleep deprivation during 2 weeks at a field marine station with about 50 million gulls SCREAMING 24/7; I made a tape with those 3 playing over & over, stuck the earphones on, & slipped into blissful sleep listening to 3 of the great instrumentals of all time. Not that they're boring, mind you. plus lovely images of Phil Collins playing...
Absolutely right, I went to the PC not dead yet concert in Brisbane last month It was just awesome and his band Oh man so tight "tight as a fishes bum hole" and that's water tight. LOL
That is the way to start a show. What a true legend. He makes drumming look effortless, yet what he plays is mind blowing. My biggest influence as a drummer and songwriter. I can’t thank him enough for the years of pleasure he has given me. You can only love him x
I follow Phil Collins since I started play drums. At that time I knew him only as a singer, I just could not believe he could play drums. What a talented person, one of the best drummers ever.
Saw Phil Collins in 1990 at the Spectrum in Philly. What a top-notch showman. Played for about 3 hours..wow....great sound with drums and horns. On opening song he broke a stick and sent Bridget ducking. So sad to see Phil not drumming...gotta be frustrating to him....thanks for the memories!
Was in my youth when Phil come on in the early 80’s, have been to every concert he has played here in Sydney, AU up to and including the recent January 2019, such a talented and wonderful performer, and many of his band members in this clip are still with him. Now that’s got to be an excellent group of musicians he has kept. Cheers.
Phil Collins definitely deserves a lot more credit than he gets - tremendous drummer and songwriter
I agree! I am a female 79 & have watched him from when music changed in Genius. Never liked when Peter Gabriel was in it! Jealous of Phil I believe!
Artist 💯🕯♥️
And singer!
Phil was the scariest drummer ever. When you can get in close like this, it's terrifying how easy he makes it.
He's great isn't he. He's been that good since his late teens as well

@@nickavenoso7851 I hear you, my apologies. I get a little worked up when it comes to Phil 😁
If a take the whole packaging(singer,songwriter,musician),Collins is definitetly one of the best artists of our times
Phil and Chester. There will never be another duo.
Best drummers in the world. Simply Genius.
I'll take Phil and Bill Bruford.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

I can watch Phil Collins drum all day. Such pure talent.
So glad to see the more obscure tracks got some attention. The average Phil Collins fan probably has no idea what they just heard.
The way he moves his arms back and forth, to keep in time, is pure natural talent, I could watch this dude Collins all day.
It’s called drumming

Joel Mills 100% awesome Chester was to have to adapt to Phil and what was in his head. Brilliant
Agreed but he's playing Phil's score. He is the author. The master. He exudes rhythm.
Yes let's not forget Chester Phil's partner in crime.
I always loved those "brass section drum fills".
Phil its the wise, crazy magic master of soft pop rock music on the world. In fact an artist. Love him 💜💜💜💜
Chester killing it on the xylophone and Phil is as funky as ever!
I've never been a Phil Collins fan but I gotta admit he and his band jammed on that song.
The year is 1990. You are at the peak of your powers. People hate you because you are everywhere. People hate you because you play pop music. You're are still playing drums and singing in the most successful prog rock band ever. You have Earth Wind and Fires Brass Section. The greatest bass player in history. Genesis's lead guitarist.
Your start a gig like this.

Phil Collins en su mejor momento!!!..un artista completo!! de la mejor escuela del rock pop a nivel planetario...desde siempre!!
Phil is THE man! You guys ever listened to brand x? Phil's jazz fusion group 😎
Yes sir :)
yes, And so to F. Magical. He did it with this band too.
In my opinion there was no better drummer than Phil when he was in Brand X, unbelievable talent!
Jamás me cansaré de escucharlo Mr colins.
Exteremly under-rated this song is, and album. Been a blast enjoying Phil's music, and what an inspiration he is with his music and Genesis. Wishing you all the best bud, and thank you for everything, and inspiring. One of my favorite tracks. True masterpiece. Especially with his live concerts.
Just the intro to this song give me goose bumps....I know what's coming. Plus, this, "Droned," & "The West Side" kept me from losing my mind from sleep deprivation during 2 weeks at a field marine station with about 50 million gulls SCREAMING 24/7; I made a tape with those 3 playing over & over, stuck the earphones on, & slipped into blissful sleep listening to 3 of the great instrumentals of all time. Not that they're boring, mind you. plus lovely images of Phil Collins playing...
Repare! Phil é tão genial que ele toca sem precisar olhar pra bateria!
Ele nem olha pra batera meu!! 😱
Um verdadeiro master!
Applaud’s to this Genthenmen …..love him 🤗
2 of the best Drummers in 1 Sequence
Not only was he a great drummer but producer!!!!!
MR.LOVERMAN HERE. PHIL COLLINS IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST DRUMMER FOR REAL
the fill at 3:54 is exactly what I love about Phil's drumming
was thinking the exact same thing that moment :-D
...and he comes out of it totally locked into the drum machine/click. Sooooo good.
I never heard a drummer that can compose a drum fill like Phil
Absolutely - moments like that are why he's a god. Period.
He got God in him!!!!🎵🎤🎬
I love his swagger too! it looks like arrogance, in fact he's taking the piss out of himself. genius in capital letters
that's his point, for him it is innate, it is effortless, totally natural.
The trick is to surround yourself with players from the premier league of music. Tight band.
Absolutely right, I went to the PC not dead yet concert in Brisbane last month It was just awesome and his band Oh man so tight "tight as a fishes bum hole" and that's water tight. LOL
I love his son Nic who is now supporting him who wasn’t even born here! 😂😂😂
I saw this show in Brussels. In my top 10 !
That is the way to start a show. What a true legend. He makes drumming look effortless, yet what he plays is mind blowing. My biggest influence as a drummer and songwriter. I can’t thank him enough for the years of pleasure he has given me. You can only love him x
This is awesome footage of Phil and his amazing orchestra! Phil just flows thru his drumming, and the Vocalsawesome!
The GOAT
I follow Phil Collins since I started play drums. At that time I knew him only as a singer, I just could not believe he could play drums. What a talented person, one of the best drummers ever.
Phil collins mir tut das so weh,dich zusehen. Bist und bleibst mein bester Sänger.
❤❤❤ ach, phil Collins du bist der beste.
Saw Phil Collins in 1990 at the Spectrum in Philly. What a top-notch showman. Played for about 3 hours..wow....great sound with drums and horns. On opening song he broke a stick and sent Bridget
ducking. So sad to see Phil not drumming...gotta be frustrating to him....thanks for the memories!
This composition is an inspiration of time !
Was in my youth when Phil come on in the early 80’s, have been to every concert he has played here in Sydney, AU up to and including the recent January 2019, such a talented and wonderful performer, and many of his band members in this clip are still with him. Now that’s got to be an excellent group of musicians he has kept. Cheers.
Pure genius on the drums. So sad he can no longer play
watching poetry in motion ❤👏
Every good and perfect gift come from the Lord!!!❤😘👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
All day long, watching him NEVER gets old!!

Spud fan is his only human flaw. Up the Gunners
He started off as 🥁 drummer.. with genises...and the rest is history...man is a Master musical genius and LEGEND!!!!
I could listen to this all day long. Real human being with a supernatural tallent!
