Thanks for the shout out Leland. "Don't Lose My Number" is one of my favourite videos of all time, never mind the ones Jim Yukich and I did for just Phil and Genesis! It was a lot of fun to make in Australia. BTW George Miller didn't help us with the Road Warrior segment, that was Dean Semler our Director of Photography/Cameraman who also DP'ed the Road Warrior movie (later he won an Oscar for "Dances With Wolves."). I am glad you let people know how hard Phil works at his craft - Genesis too! Stay safe!
Nice comment, great interaction to come across!

Greetings from Perth,Australia
Paul Flattery Thanks for the info. You and Jim were the best in the biz....
As a bassist myself, there is no one in the music business that would aspire to emulate more than you, Mr Sklar.
You are a bassists bassist. Your lines are always so perfectly tasteful and solid. Not flashy but simply perfect for the song.
I enjoy your conversations with your UA-cam audience as well.
Exactly
Sklar, Levin and Vega are my big inspirations. The best of the best make me pay attention to the notes they *don’t* play.
Lee certainly has great feel for the low end
You haven't met Rick Robertson, but damn, Leland can play!
Ditto. Same here. I really look forward to your posts, Mr. Sklar.
So appreciate you sharing your uniqueness and amazing talent. You inspire me as a new bassist player learning at 70. Never too late eh
Never realized how cool the bass line was on this song. That's BAD ASS!!!
Just saw the documentary "The Immediate Family". This song really gripped me, watching Leland Sklar perform magically. Now revisiting a lot of LP's stored in the basement. Such good music back then.
The power of the internet never ceases to amaze me. A total pro and legend giving us his up close and personal take ...its amazing. Thank you.
1000%
i dont play bass but this person is one of my favorite musicians of all time Class A
Great taste! This guy is a living legend who has played on literally TENS of thousands of recordings!
Carry on, Lee; you're helping us all so much with your posts. Bless you for the positive influence you're sending into the world.
I think this was the last thing I expected to find from YT during these times but definitely one of the best surprises. Could watch your playing all day. Long live Mr. Sklar!
The world is somehow way less fucked up with Leland here.
Thank you from my heart Mr. Sklar ! Just for doing this and just be you. Please stay save.
Thanks Lee..really appreciate your Talent and Caring for people, You have a lot of heart and soul, much needed in the world we live in!
It is so nice to see you out here my friend, I’ve known of you for many years and finally I get to find out that you are American and not English like I originally thought. I look up to you and I’m so happy to see you making videos out here. Keep up the good work. ( ^_^. )
Don't watch him play, close your eyes and just listen!! BAD ASS
Half the fun is watching his amazing technique!!♥️
How lucky I am. My idol is in my living room and He is showing me that how He played these songs. Which I tried to learn and play last 20+years.
Thank You Sir. God Bless You.
I agree - this truly is a blessing for all of us Sklar appreciators :-)
This was never a favorite song of mine, until hearing this; specifically, hearing this bad-ass bass part!!!🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yessss!
Thanks Lee - I play bass in the Phil Collins Experience with Dean Edwards (Deano) as the 'Phil'. I've studied your bass lines with great interest but, it's great to hear them 'raw' and the little different nuances and licks, that have evolved - a great inspiration (and education) for me. I also play a Dingwall (ABZ 5) which I really love; punchy, warm and clear - the business! I'm really happy that you're doing these vids for us; I'll be tuning in daily (pun, incidental). Thanks again and 'let's be careful out there' as Michael Conrad once said. Kindest regards, Chris.
I love you dearly as a person first and as a musician who lets your personality impact your music. Your sweet vibe is unmistakable. You are like Ringo. I know who is in the mix.Thank you for you.
No need to apologize, Leland! We appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Watching you play is an inspiration to this aspiring musician. Thank you.
Mr. Sklar I'm so happy that you are sharing all of this with us. A little bit of light amidst all the dark right now. Thanks!
It’s incredible! 3 simple requests: wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance. I’m in India. Yesterday, I got “My mask keeps falling off”, “I’m not sick, I don’t need one”, “oh, I forgot to put it on”.
You are a legend. As a TV music editor, I had the honor of hearing you in some sessions in the early 80’s. It’s a real pleasure to hear you in this video.
Thanks, keep safe.
Suddenly found this on UA-cam and thought , yes I recognize him,I'll have a look.
Well I've watched 4 or 5 now,what a lovely,intelligent guy and his Bass skills are brilliant.
A real joy to watch, stay well and safe.
Thank you so much for this, my whole life I have watched you pop up all over the industry but have never heard you speak. This is just really great stories and your amazing playing. In this time....I couldn't have asked for a better thing to watch, enjoy and learn from. Thank you again.
Mr. Sklar: Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and musical insights with us. I work in a very different field of music, but I have always been a great admirer of your artistry. I also appreciate your spirit of community and sharing with us duriing this crazy time. I enjoy following you here and on your Facebook page.
Thank you for this and thank you for just being a good and caring person! See you tomorrow! I know you have some deliveries to make, but after that: Stay home...stay safe...save lives!
Lee Sklar, another one of my favorites bassists. So technically sound, so steady, great personality.! I aspire to be good with my bass one day!
Yes Brother!!! Love your spirit and message. Good man. Keep well brother...
What a treat! I got to see you with Phil back in the late eighties. What a show! Still have flash backs. All you you need is a fan to blow your hair around and make the effect total. Love it! Thank you for posting!
Peace from Canada. Thank you for bringing so much light into this dark time. Stay safe and healthy... we appreciate your company. ❤️🙏🏻
Perfect!
I’m singing along
“RILEY don’t lose my number”
for my kid! 😅
Cool shirt. Well done! Wow it is heartbreaking to see a grand old tree fallen. Thanks again for the videos. Love your perspective on the music and life in general.
Thank you again for doing these videos. You're making our days better with your music and stories. Stay safe.
you are a great discover for me this year, i enjoyed everything you posted
That machine sounds amazing! It's so good to see and hear you hanging and banging . It's going to be okay someday. Your video showing your equipment and theirstories made my day that day. Continue cranking, and remaining safe as you can,so we can see and hear more of your truly great stories and music. Let's go check on the neighbors. See yo tomorrow.
Watching this makes me miss playing. inspired to take it back up now. Beautiful playing Mr Sklar
Ohhhhh mannnn ... can’t get enough of this... im almost crying here man.. (happy tears) ... leland... by doing this videos and little stories you’re making a lot of people VERY happy (obviously including myself).... thank you!!! Much respect and appreciation!!!🤘🏻😎
That was freakin amazing! The stories followed by unbelievable playing. What a gift.
12:19 Hell Yeah!!!
Thanks Mr. Sklar. Congrats from Brazil!
Leland you're a true legend, so much respect for your work. Inspired me early on when you worked with Linda Ronstat.cheers from Australia
I myself have been playing for a long time. And this is great. Every note spot on, perfect timing and less is more. It's so refreshing to hear this old fashioned craftsmenship agains all the fancy stuff and note-diarhrea I come across on youtube. Great you still do this, mr Sklar.
Just superb 😁thanks for keeping our spirits up with your brilliant bass playing 🙏
Leland I want to just wish you a beautiful Easter Sunday...I'm honored to able to follow you and your escapades. My best to you, Maureen and the pups...you keep my smilin' and happy...
Hi, Leland. I have always admired your playing. I've always loved GENESIS, Phil and your contribution. I met Phil on Maui in about '81. Your stage presence is the definition of cool! Keep on truckin'!
Sir Sklar! You're a marvel, still cranking it out with such aplomb and generosity. Bless you! ♡ MU
I’m so glad to see this guy has a UA-cam!! I remember him from all those Phil Collins live performance videos from the 80s til now!! What a legend, his discography of artists he’s played with is huge too
Here via Rick Beato...good to get to know you and your craft!
For the basic groove, this proves that sometimes LESS is MORE! I love the simplicity and openness of the verse groove.
LOVE your small stories, your mindset and the wonderful bass equilibrist you are 🙏🏻...stay safe Leland !
Dude.... That was so cool and awesome... Great vibe.. The tune is fantastic and the playing is stellar but dude, your vibe/energy freakin rocks and the positive thing is worth more than gold. Thanks man!
ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call CLASS!!!
This, folks, is the reason Leland is on so many amazing records and tours. He's the whole package. To hear the story about the tree shows what type of person he is. And his groove, tone and vibe are so on point it's just a pleasure to watch. Leland, I'll always remember the time you and I had a slice of pizza across the street from NAMM in Anaheim. So good!
he sucks
Alpha Omega shut up, you fucking twat waffle.
Alpha Omega Jerk!
@@glengamble526 Did you 2 libtardo resisters that are loosing the cause just cry? typical lol
Alpha Omega why are you here? If you’ve nothing good to say don’t say it eh?!
You nailed it !!! wow ! what a great GROOVE !!! Love every second of it !!! Thanks
Someone please pick my jaw up from the floor!!! What an incredible oportunity to hear a legend play it like he always did... Mr Sklar.. Thank you so much!!
Such a badass groove . Not so “busy verse part” then full on blast ...
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that my playing tightens up when I’m beside the drummer. I play upright (jazz and bluegrass), and I find I play tighter (still, not as tight as you keep it) with the drummer right beside me, as opposed to playing with a recording. Very cool to see what you do in some of these parts. Take care, stay safe!
I've always found my best spot is to the drummers left (if their snare is on the left) so that we can make eye contact
Tom Robinson Same here!
Thanks so much Lee, look forward to your posts every day and brightens up what otherwise is a depressing time 👍
Love it!!! What a kick ass part!! And so nice to hear about Phil and his involvement in the show as a whole
Man, haven't heard that song in forever. Way cool.
Miss making music with you in the room Lee! thanks for Acapela we can still have some fun...love you.
Du bist der Beste Bassist . Danke für die besten Jahre mit Phil . Danke !
Hey Leland, I’m glad you took a day for yourself. As always awesome performance. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Take good care of yourself and your family. 👍🏻🙏🏻 BE SAFE.
It's been an honor to meet you on Judith's UK tours. Thank you for the music and stay safe and well Sir!
ua-cam.com/video/lTC_qScNHvo/v-deo.html :)
The positive constant every day. I really appreciate you sharing your musicality and your thoughts!
Hello Leland. I love your videos, specially when you start to describe details from the show, that we can easily feel your mind traveling back years to this specifically show that comes back in your mind. I am sure any of us out here would love to hear your stories all day long. Please Keep it up and God bless you.
Love these videos! Thanks so much Leland!
One more request. That's all Genesis. Thank you sir.
The legendary Leland Sklar in action! Amazing!
It's a pleasure to listen all the notes, all the accents, all the groove in this great song, thanks a lot!
Love ya Leland! Thanks for this video!
One hell of a Bass player!!!
8:44 - Bam-Bam-Bam! That short break ... with lip sync. I love it, Lee 💖
Truly a pleasure just seeing you play and you being you. Glad to hear you're taking all the precautions. Stay safe Lee.
Hope y’all know just who this gentleman is...not just with groups, but one of the greatest session musicians to ever record. Glad to see you still alive and pick in’.
That old western town was called ‘old Sydney town’ I used to go there as a kid... it was like a theme park set it 1800s Sydney... was very cool.
Love that T-shirt!!
And great story of Phil!!
Thank you so much for the beautiful music and especially for spreading the word on how important it is for every one of us to be safe, wear a mask, do the right thing so we get through this and back to our lives ❤️
These are great, Lee. Keep 'em coming.
Would love to see The Times are a Changing. You really brought that tune alive.
Hi Leland, that was your best performance so far! Not that every day is a beauty contest but I just felt you nailed this tune perfectly in this format. Please keep it up. You are such an inspiring and life wise person. Jeez I would resist if I were in your place ..... Joakim, a Swede currently in Kenya .... also a drummer. PS. A Collins fave of mine is 'It don't matter to me'
This channel is a real treasure thank you
Edit: I love the apology for the "sloppiness" as if it wasn't an almost flawless performance
Thank you once again. Everybody knows that you can dig in. Don't forget to take care of yourself. Your videos are beautiful highlights in my sequestered day. I like the chatting before and the talking after just as much as the playing.
12:39 "I apologize for some sloppiness" ??? Let me be as sloppy as you on my best day!!!! cheers Lee, you are da man !
I see what you mean, but you can also hear that the timing is off here and there. Which i kind of love to be honest, mr. Sklar is also just a human :)
You remind me of a wizard with passion. Hopefully that doesn't piss you off. 😁😎👍🇺🇸
Awesome Leland - thanks for the view into your world!!!
Leland, I am 53 years old, and a musician....altho no where near the skill level of you.
Just when I think music, talent wise, is dead....YOU put out kick ass videos like this. I remember these songs when you recorded them,, and its so nice to see you rocking and so full of wisdom at 72. My friend, hearing your stories of "Phil" was so refreshing.
Many more years of health, happiness and stellar bass playing for you!!!
Everytime I have watched this man on stage, the smile was appear on my face.
"Enough brain function for basic life support...." That was very funny. Thank you.
Thanks you so much for doing this! I've admired your playing for .... decades. Pure joy virtually hanging with you and just what I needed right about now.
Leland great video once again . Rockin ❤️ thanks from one bassist to another your videos are what we all need thanks again
I like the "ToTo" T-shirt.
That beard is your very own Oak Tree ;)
Thank You for taking the time to reach out to all of us. You are a good man and a great humanitarian. Stay safe and thanks for the great music. You keep it real.
Thank you for this Leland. Back in '92 I used to play this on constant repeat, close my eyes, sit behind my drum kit and imagine myself playing drums with you and Phil on the Seriously, Live! tour.
You seem like such a neat person, and you remind me of Merlin from Sword in the Stone :)
Listening to those Bass-Lines remembers me being a young child, teaching myself to play drum like Phil Collins and Guitar like Daryl while watching seriously Live in Berlin on repeat. The Bass line I love the most is the one from the Song "Colours". Would be a pleasure, if you would play this one in one of your upcoming videos.
Colours is sick
Thanks for sharing what you did Leland..Stay safe..I enjoyed!
You never screw up while playing Lee .... we should be thankful you are putting up these priceless videos and sharing these wonderful anecdotes ... Thank you !
I wake ip each morning looking forward to these videos ..just makes my day ! Thank you 🙏🏻 !
Just know you are one of the greatest bassists to ever play! The soft touch you have is insane! Keep rocking brother!!
And another great bassits are of course Tony Levin, a bassgod! :)
@@agricola39 TOTALLY agree!
14:30 "They basically have enough brainfunction for basic lifesupport".. HAHAHAHA 😄👍
A very terrific line; the right amount of notes at the right time. Thank you for sharing these; you inspire me to pick up my bass and play. :)
I love these videos, it is wonderful that you are sharing your insights to working with PC & others. Being able to watch you play a whole song is fantastic! Stay safe & thanks again. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
