    Phil was the drummer for Genesis, a progressive rock band. When their lead singer Peter Gabriel went solo they searched a long time for a replacement only to find they had a great one, Phil, already in the band. Phil also had a great sense of humour that he injected into his shows. I believe he was the only man who took the super sonic Concorde from the UK to the US to perform at the Live Aid charity concert in both cities on the same day. He started in the theatre as a kid as the Artful Dodger in the play "Oliver".

    I've seen Phil Collins many times in concert, both as lead singer of Genesis and on his solo tours. He's one of my heroes, as I am also a drummer. I grew up listening to Genesis (and Rush) and being blown away by his playing but then also by his incredible song writing and vocals! He's the total package. Yes, please do some live Genesis to see him in action! Genesis was a great Progressive Rock band, first recording in the late 1960s but it took them some years to get famous. By the 1980's they were one of the biggest bands on the planet! You should see some of their show from 1986, at Wembley Stadium! Incredible!

Later, Clapton walked up to the mic and broke into Layla and in that instant a bolt of lightning came down and branched out under the clouds!! He kept right on playing and then the rain came. We all stood with out lighters burning, with our arms stretched out above us.!! The rain stopped shortly after he finished the song!! To say that it was a spiritual event... well, it was.

    Collins was in the band Genesis. This is from his debut solo album "Face Value" released on February 13, 1981. In 1979, Collins began to write songs during a break in activity from Genesis. This song was used in a superb way in the series pilot for the 80s show "Miami Vice," which was a great show about Miami undercover cops trying to deal with the Florida drug trade, where so much money is involved that the criminals can easily make a million dollar bribe to get what they want.

    It's funny, at first it's like "when is it gonna start?", and then at the end it's like "wait, what, it's already over?" Thise backjing vocals are created with a vocoder, a keyboard instrument with a vocal microphone, that let's the vocal shape the sound of the synth. And yeah, Daft Punk are avid users of the vocoder. It came to prominence in the 70s but has enjoyed many revivals since, first with this 1980 monster hit, and later with Daft Punk and many others.

    Nice reaction video 👍
    Phil Collins is known worldwide as one of the best drummers ever, and of course an excellent songwriter and singer. He’s won several Grammys…Golden Globes & Brit Awards… plus other awards too! I’ve been a fan of his for years, as well as the band “Genesis”
    I wasn’t at this particular concert (Paris), but I did see him at Manchester and Glasgow during the same tour.
    The drums that he used actually came up through the floor just before he got to them (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!

    Congratulations, you just discovered one of the GOATs. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Phil has a lot more to offer, both solo and as drummer and frontman of the best band ever: Genesis. There’s a lot more for you to discover now.

    He was the drummer for GENESIS, until Peter Gabriel left to start a solo career. That's when Phil stepped up and became the lead vocalist for the group.

    Phil was in Genesis as their drummer throughout 1971-96.
    In 1976 he also became the singer, succeeding Peter Gabriel, bringing in Chester Thompson on drums for live tours. The band had regular short hiatuses where the individual members recorded solo projects. First Steve Hackett, then all three remaing members with Mike and the Mechanics, Tony Banks/Bankstatement and Phil Collins respectively. Phil released his first in 1981 after his divorce.
    After leaving the band he joined for the single Carpet Crawlers 1999 with Peter Gabriel. Also on the tours Turn it on again in 2007 and finally The last domino tour in 2022.

    In 1985 he played this song at the Live Aid Concert in London, Wembley Stadium.
    Later, at the same day, he performed "Against All Odds" in Philadelphia.
    As a worldwide part of this unforgetable concert.

  • @penfold7455
    @penfold7455 4 місяці тому +1

    Yeah, Phil Collins had huge success as a solo artist while still a member of Genesis. I mean this was a singer who himself pulled in huge crowds, mostly female, back in the 80s.
    The ironic thing is he never intended to ever be any kind of singing star. He was happy with just being a band's drummer/backup vocalist. It's just that when the original lead singer of Genesis Peter Gabriel (another artist you need to deep dive) left, the band truly tried auditioning vocalists to replace him. But no one was ever good enough. To prepare for the audition, Phil was the band member who taught the vocalists the audition songs; so when hearing all this, the rest of Genesis decided they could just make Phil the lead vocalist and have him pull co-drumming duty with a touring drummer during live shows.

    Phil started in the band Genesis as the drummer, with Peter Gabriel as lead singer.
    When Peter left the band, Phil took over as lead singer.
    He started his solo career in the 80s but still performed with the band.
    Check out other songs like Against All Odds, Another Day In Paradise and Easy Lover, then check out him in Genesis with songs like Mama and Land Of Confusion.
    He also starred in the lead role in the 1988 film Buster, about the 1963 Great Train Robbery in London, UK.

    I also recommend (no reaction required) this song from "The Live And Loose In Paris" concert this live versus and the Paris.. The version you just reacted to and the Paris version are my two best favorites. Haunting & Hurtful song "In The Air Tonight" is born out of Phil Collins divorce. His other song to come because of his divorce"I Don't Care Anymore" That he hardly did in concert because it was to emotional. But thank God "In The Air Tonight" made it to every song list on all live concert dates.

    Phil Collins began his big time career with Genesis. If you check them out you might like their stuff also. Peter Gabriel was also a member of Genesis at one time. I think you checked out his live performance of In Your Eyes, the Secret Garden version. If you haven’t you might want to take a look at that. I’m sure you will appreciate it.

    Phil was the drummer for the band Genesis......after awhile he decided to go onto a solo career which skyrocketed him in the 80's. He was also a member of a few other bands....Band Aud and Band X are 2 I can remember off the top of my head. He eventually did reunite with Gennisis and I think they produced another album. Sadly though Phil has had health issues and the surgery he had on his spine has left him very immobile......but the music still lives on in our hearts and minds.
