The music industry told Phil he wouldn't make it because he didn't have the looks. Notice the album cover for this song has no words. Just his face. A big middle finger to the Industry.
Well said and 3 Wives and 5 lovely,talented kids later:)
Well they are crazy !!!! I think he is one handsome sexy guy !!!!!!!! Just his sense of humor u would want to go up and hug him !!
Back in the 60s and 70s people care more about talent than looks.
Phil Collins is a musician who sold over 100 million albums both as a solo artist and as a member of a group. He was a member of the band Genesis.
Only Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney have accomplished this as well.
They were screaming Phil Phil Phil !
As did all his other solo albums.
The Master of "Stare" Phil can look through you!!! He is the best!! Wow!! You cant beat this performance!!
To be fair he does have experience playing the bad guy in TV Shows and Movies to hone that glare. Plus I think he channels his inner F-You Andrea when he sings this.
What Donna said. Very few performers are even better live, and not many are as good live as in the studio. Phil Collins is one of the few who continued to improve his music and his performance over the years. This song was great when it came out and it is only better years later. Many people only know him for his songwriting. They don't know that he also plays drums. I love seeing their surprise. Well, Phil doesn't just "also" play drums, he is one of the top-tier drummers, he was THE drummer for one of the most prestigious bands of all time. Work your way backwards over his career, it's a trip worth taking.
An icon, he recently said that he can no longer hold a drumstick after surgery on his back, which is sad 😢
This was done in Paris
Phil Collins in this video would be the baddest assed Bond villain of all time.
Isn't this the most incredible performance ever??? Can you imagine being there and experiencing it? The girl's face in the audience at the end sums it all up!
There were a couple of man crushes in the audience too Amanda. Lol 😆 🤣
It is AWESOME!!!
@@marilynatkinson3735 🤣😂🤣 Yep!! Good one!!!🙃
Yes, Paris is blessed seeing that live and, also, seeing: Gary Moore: " I've Still Got The Blues For You" which is incredible.
Lucky Paree....:)
Always loved this song but when I first saw this performance it gave it a whole new level for me 😊 love it ❤
Is this great or what? 🔥It's a shame he can't play anymore. Gettin' old ain't for sissies.
This entire concert is on UA-cam to watch, from Paris in 2009. Fantastic!
Phil Collins is beyond talented. He started as a drummer for Genesis. When their lead singer (Peter Gabriel) left, Phil took over as lead vocalist. He has had a stellar career as both a member of Genesis & as a solo artist. I will never forget his appearance at LIVE AID -1985. He performed at the London concert first then hopped on The Concorde & flew to Philadelphia to close out the concert over here. It was so damn cool & the audience (both there & watching on TV) erupted into a thunderous applause when he showed up on stage. People always cite QUEEN's performance at LIVE AID but many don't mention this incredible feat that Phil pulled off. This is another deep rabbit hole which actually has two caves to explore - one for his work with Genesis & the other for his solo music. Two of my favorites are "Another Day in Paradise" and "Easy Lover" duet with Phillip Bailey of the R&B supergroup Earth, Wind, & Fire.
I was there when Phil and his former Band: Genesis had their first ever Top Of The Bill performance in Croydon, South East London, standing with 3,000 others and that was 50 years ago in 1972😀
Not to mention Phil used E,W and F's horn section for his solo efforts and a track for Genesis. Happy birthday yesterday Phil! Legend
Oh deep dive Phil. I wish it would rain down with Clapton on guitar…mmmm mmm. Good stuff. Too many others to mention really.
Phil Collins was the drummer and singer for the English rock group 'Genesis during the 70's. I was never a big fan of their music personally. They turned out the type of sound that made you love it or hate it. I don't believe the group was as popular in the U.S. as some would believe. IMO .. it wasn't until Phil's solo career that the "Genesis' spark was rekindled
Phil Collins wrote "In the Air Tonite" about how he was feeling and the amount of anger he had after divorcing his first wife back in 1980 ..
"Well, if you told me you we're drowning"
"I would not lend a hand"
"I've seen your face before my friend"
"But I don't know if you know who I am"
"Well, I was there and I saw what you did"
"I saw it with my own two eyes"
"So you can wipe off that grin"
"I know where you been"
"Its all been a pack of lies"
It was the lead single coming off his debut solo album "Face Value" in 1981. However, it wasn't until NBC's 1984 television series debut of "Miami Vice", starring Don Johnson as James "Sonny" Crockett and Phillip Michael Thomas as Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, that the song gained even more notoriety and nitching a place for its self in American pop culture. Crockett and Tubbs we're two Metro- Dade detectives working undercover in Miami. The show aired for about 5 or 6 years.
** side note ** ... If you we're growing up in the mid-eighties and remember the "always clean shaven & neatly dressed" uncle, brother .. maybe even Dad .. suddenly loving pastel colored loose fitting dress coats and pants, going sock less {sometimes even shirt less} and 2 or 3 days before shaving again sporting the stubble look .. "Sonny Crockett" was to blame! ... ** 😎
"In the Air Tonite" was the lead song in the series debut "Brother's Keeper" ....
** Fun Fact ** Phil Collins also starred in a couple episodes of "Miami Vice" in season two as a British TV game show personality /conman known as 'Phil the Shill' who just so happens to be associating with a couple coke dealers targeted by Crockett and Tubbs.
Besides building a sizzling solo career of his own, Collins and former 'Genesis' band mates regrouped and churned out a few albums and couple Top 10 hits in the late 80's and early 90's.
1982. In France. Over 80,000 in attendance, including me!!
i got to see phil live in the early 1990s...it was fantastic 🤷♀️
You look a little warmer!
I'm with you, Collins was so dramatic live!
And he describes himself as a drummer who can sing a bit 😂
God, I get goosebumps every single time I see him walk to the rising drum set and then that drop happens 😍😍😍😍
The blue lights are called a silhouette! My God I love me some Phil!
This was 2005 or so I believe. Phil is now 71 years old and can no longer play the drums and hasn’t for awhile now. Back issues. Allot of the intensity from this performance coming from Phil is because he was also an actor and is able to show that intensity of emotion in his face.
The guy at the beginning who looks like Gandalf or a wizard, is Leland Sklar, the bass player, and one of the top studio and touring bassists in the world, getting into the vibe. He has spoken about playing this song with this band as being one of the highlights of his 50 year career.
It was 2004.
A little bit of trivia here, Phil Collins played at Live Aid in London, then hopped on the Concorde and flew to America to play at JFK stadium, he's the only musician to play at both venues
Philadelphia stadium I believe.
In THe Same Day :)
@@Isleofskye yes, it was only a one day event
@@karenj3611 Thanks Karen
@@Isleofskye ..yes Concord could get you from London to New York in 3 hours
It's sheer perfection.
I soooo agree with everything you say; he is such phenomenon!
There are few performers that can sound better live than in their official videos or recordings, and Phil Collins is one of the few in that elite group. Sorry I missed his last tour, as it looks like he has now stopped touring, due to a health issue. Thanks for the reaction - loved it!
Dude, you are totally missing out without the use of headphones or a good set of earbuds at the minimum! The song’s you’ve been listening to are full of sounds that you have not even heard yet without them. Isolated instruments you almost can’t hear without them, not to mention the stereo effects! You won’t ever listen to music again without them.
The way he turns and looks at the camera and says "grin" and grins. The timing was impeccable. Can you imagine what it felt like to be him right then? He could see the number of people, he could feel the energy, he knew he nailed it.
I hear what you're saying about finding something new every time you watch a video over again. Think about all of us who are watching you. We've seen this countless times, and still, it doesn't get old. ❤️✌️
another great artist in history
There IS ONLY One way to fully hear and feel the power of this song. Which is ater Midnight when the freeway is empty & your in a car with top down and you just to with the music...
Phil is a master showman! As he ascends the stairs toward the drums the crowd goes wild with anticipation! I saw him in concert and after all these decades I remember it like yesterday! Thank you for sharing! Great reaction!!!
Gotta do 'I Don't Care Anymore LIVE !!! LIFE CHANGING !!!!
Great song full of emotion
Absolutely a very phenomenal performance!! 🤩💖💖💖💖💖💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💯💯 my man!!!
Another Day in Paradise is one of my favourite songs of his.. amazing artist
The man with the white beard is bass player Lee Sklar. Great reaction to one of the best songs of the 80s. This live version is 🔥. Phil is an actor too. I've seen him in a few movies in the 80s.
Leland has played bass on hundreds of hit with many artists
Leland has a youtube channel where he goes over a lot of material hes done youtube.com/@lelandsklar6363
@chris sawyer. Yes, I know I'm one of his subscribers.
Told ya. 😄
Love this video..🥰❤️ Phil has a soft voice similar to when he sings. This song happened according to Phil , whe he was going through a bitter divorce..so it has some meaning of truth and passion. Loved your reaction ❤️
He can sing!!!! Saw his band Genesis with the great Peter Gabriel in 1974 at the local university. Ticket was 4.50. Haha. Amazing! Two legends at once!
the year is 2004 and you really need headphones to appreciate everything about this performance and phil was around 52/54
This was taped I. PARIS, France. I was told this was the first song after they came back from an intermission
Phil Collins is incredible. This would be another great rabbit hole to fall into. I never noticed until just now that he's left-handed! His drum set is "backwards." Just something I noticed.
greatest live drum performance ever!
He’s actually quite a character. Almost a comedian. Perfect Phil right here!
His Parents were theatrical and got him to one of England's Top Schools: Charterhouse where he met Peter Gabriel and the rest..:)
@@Isleofskye. No Phil did not go to Charterhouse the other 3 members of Genesis did … Phil went to Nelson Primary school till age 11 then went to Cheswick County Grammar School and also attended the Barbra Speake Theatre School ……
@@ASaaaxxx My disappointment in myself is immeasurable and no words can adequately express my remorse regarding my inexcusable faux pas. I am mortified that I got to make such a Schoolboy error and I only try to crave your forgiveness for my brief moment of total complete and utter insanity in making this mistake. I have no excuses and I can only apologize, profusely, for my stupidity, once again. You are a good man for pointing this out to me. I'm inconsolable at the moment.....:(
Should definitely check out "Take Me Home" from same concert. He plays the bongos/drums. Look up "Phil Collins Farewell Tour-Drums and Take Me Home"
Giggle that just happened. ❤
This was his last time performing on drums. It was supposed to be his last concert ever. He cannot hold the sticks to play drums but his son now plays the drum solo for him while he sits in a chair and sings for everyone. He taught his son perfectly. But Phil still is amazing and forever will be. I love his song " rain down on me" I think you would like it too.
This was around the year 2000. Phil had a fall that damaged his nervous system and can't drum anymore. Later concerts he just sits on a stool and sings or plays a little piano.
This was 2004.
Wasn't a fall. He actually damaged one of his upper vertebrae drumming in 2007. Ended up having spinal surgery which affected the nerves in his left arms (he's left handed) so he couldn't hold the sticks anymore. His son Nic Collins filled in on the drums for Phil on the last Genesis tour.
Live in Paris, France with 20,000 + attending this concert in 2004
That’s a Vocoder you’re hearing. You sing into it and it creates multiple harmonies! The opening phrase would make an incredible sample for a rap song.
As mentioned, the effect is vocoder, but it's actually sung by keyboardist Brad in this version if I remember correctly.
This is one of the most stunning live performances ❤.. please check out Sting, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart collab All for love please 🙏🏻
Phil is 1 of 3 artists that have sold over 100 million albums both with a band and solo. Paul McCartney number 2. Michael Jackson number 1. So glad I got to see him in concert 2 last times. Still Not Dead Yet solo tour, Denver '19 and with Genesis curtain call, Chicago '21. Highly recommend I Know What I Like from Genesis concert film in '76 or the '93 version in a medley of their older songs. Phil kills it with his tambourine dance. In 2007 they Put on a free concert in Italy to close out their reunion tour. Half a million people showed up. Dive deeper into the concerts of Phil solo and with Genesis. They never disappoint and always sound better in concert.
His live from Dallas in 1985 is his best version.
It was a live performance that was so well taped!! Amazing. I've watched it probably near 100 times.
This song was released in 81 I think, but was revived by the TV show Miami vice in the late 80's. It's perfect for cruising around at 2am.
Good call ,certain songs are better live others better in studio. This is good in studio, great live.
I knew you wouldn't be disappointed by the live version!
The talent that man has is simply incredible.
He still tours in his 70s but his son Nic does the drumming because Phil has developed nerve damage in his wrist and hands and hearing damage from forty-plus years of drumming.
I don't remember if I recommend this before or not but please consider doing his song
Another Day in Paradise, the official video is an absolute must. It brings home the message that still needs to be heard.
Other artists to check out are
Hardy- Wait in the Truck
Big and Rich
The 8th of November and Holy Water
I love how much you appreciated this. His later concerts were perfect because he's done them so many times.
Hes a funny guy kind the best
This was shot on film, I believe 35mm production caneras. It was recorded in 2004.
That was a great concert and video. Watch it. This tune comes IN THE MIDDLE of a 2+ hour concert. Phil is a stud. (he has an interview with Howard Stern....he is cool)
Oh Yes Please ❤also please pray for Mr.Phil Collins for he is not well 😢Love, Love, Love ❤ Him and his music and his song wrighting ❤ I have seen him and Genesis 💯 many times 🤘🥰🇺🇸 sooo many great memories 📀 Thank you for jamming 🥰 them, Love your channel and your reactions 😅 and you💯🎧🙏✌️🌟 Rock on and Rock hard 🦾💯🎧💕👍👍🤘
Such a great performance! I recommend headphones for some of these songs- it’s just better that way!
True talent..
Phil has a very nice speaking voice and a heavy English accent. He is wonderful to listen too during any interview and is a great story teller and super funny. 100's of interviews of Phil with Genesis and by himself. Did you know he can't read music?
This is a very personal song for him, he wrote it about his divorce, finding out his wife was cheating on him. To say he was angry is an understatement.
He actually went on record to say it wasn't about his wife. It was written during their nasty divorce - so the anger is raw - but he said "it wasn't really about anything specific".
I think that is the cover story for the real story.
Phil Collins is an icon! This was so very awesome. Love your reaction!
He won 8gramys for different songs and various other awards over the years from when he was drummer for genisis as well as solo career he is British
SO many many hits from this man, both solo and when he was with Genesis.
I suggest “I Don’t Care Anymore” the official video … or live. If you want to see his raw emotions. Amazing.
Yes indeed. Its a song that can hit you deep,yet it's so musically beautiful. Love Phil live.
Try "MAMA" live from Knebworth 1990. Phil shows his vocal talent as he puts everything into that performance.
Good reaction!
Great reaction.
This is how a rock star opens a show. Next on your list, Another Day in Paradise, Sussudio, I Can't Dance, ...
And for the fun factor (right after "I Can't Dance"), try the video for "Jesus He Knows Me."
They were yelling PHIL PHIL PHIL not ENCORE. GREAT REACTION VIDEO.
I was actually lucky enough to see Phil Collins perform this song in concert back when it was just released. Not this particular show but it was basically the same performance. Yeah I'm old lol.
So much better than the studio version!
Important to know. This song is from Phil’s “angry album”. Going through a nasty divorce after his wife had an affair…In the Air is written to the man she cheated on.
“I Don’t Care Anymore” is his song to his wife…must react to his live performance as well.
Phil College and was in the rock band Genesis with Peter Gabriel before going solo. Their live concerts were legendary..
We, that grew-up with the great legends of music, are in shock by the news of the Masters that are stricken-down with diseases that make it impossible for them to perform their crafts. Honor…Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Phil Collins, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)…
Eric now?
The alien effect on his vocal is called a vocoder. If you ever watched the old 80s Trasformers cartoons its the same effect that they use to make the voice of the Decepticon Soundwave.
Leyland Sklar in bass
Phil Collins was 53 when he did this concert
Vocorder alien effect
This song was used to perfection on the pilot episode of Miami Vice as Crockett and Stubbs cruise at night down the Miami coastline.
The "alien" sound you hear is a vocorder used by the keyboard player. Another awesome performance by Phil is the live version of "Mama" Live in Knebworth with his former band Genesis. It's. 🔥🔥🔥!
If you can find his interview with Dan Rather, do. It’s excellent.
Impeccable timing! Your fresh take gives us more to appreciate in familiar songs. Thanks!
DREW, so happy you saw this live!!! Phil's performance is bar none!!!!
Love the 🎙👍🏻
This is the lead up to an epic fight with his wife
118,000 people at the paris farewell tour. They're probably chanting their national Soccer chant
🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤
Phil is pure magic! He's got soooo many songs.... please check out more of his music! Here's some of my favorites; Sussudio, Do you remember, Easy lover, I wish it would rain down, Something happened on the way to heaven, In too deep, Invisible touch, That's all, Another day in paradise, One more night, Two hearts, You'll be in my heart, Groovy kind of love, Mama, I can't dance... & sooo many more. Enjoy!😁🎶😁
Great Reaction,My Friend and I have Subscribed. Very knowledgeable and intelligent comments.
I was there when Phil and his former Band: Genesis had their first ever Top Of The Bill performance in Croydon, South East London, standing with 3,000 others and that was 50 years ago in 1972😀
The little lights in the crowd are cigarret lighters!!!
We can see a classic scene with this song, on the first episode of TV show "Miami Vice", (in 1984)
This was Paris 2004his speaking voice is a south London accent and you can hear him in the movie Buster which he was the lead … true story of one of the 1960s UK Great Train Robbers
The "Alien Effect" you asked about is the synthesizer-modified voice of the keyboard player. If you check the credits in the details section for that video, the keyboardist is credited.
Correct, but more accurately, the correct term of the effect is called a vocoder. It is the unique effect when a vocal or any other audio input is run through it's system and split apart apart into different frequencies and other audio parameters and then run back through an output signal. It is typically triggered by a synth, midi controller or midi device.
I believe it was recorded in 1998 but video released in 1999. In April 2009, Collins had surgery to repair dislocated vertebrae in his upper neck, which occurred while drumming on the 2007 Genesis tour. The operation caused him to lose feeling in his fingers and he could only hold drum sticks if they were taped to his hands. He now uses a wheelchair in public.
Yes, I remember him talking about having the sticks taped onto his hands. My heart sank. Likes his movies, he's pretty cheeky.
This concert took place in 2004 outside Paris, France.
Sad Phil just did his last concert. He can no longer play the drums and had to be brought on stage in a wheelchair

We're so fortunate to have these videos to reflect on and enjoy. He is true talent.
Yep breaks my heart, long time fan and I just turned 60 and so so many musicians and singers from my life time have passed or are ill or had to retire. It feels so surreal that iconic songs from major eras of my life are now 40-50 years old now.
@@sharilynbratton6476 Unfortunately, as I am 68 years old,I can tell you that, as you would expect, logically, the process of losing friends, family, and, of course, the celebrities and famous people who entertained you, only accelerates and increases with each passing decade.
@@Isleofskye For real. But the hardest loss I have ever suffered was the death of my only son in 2015 when he was 31. We had such a bond through music, I got him to appreciate everything from John Denver and The Eagles and The Beatles to Neil Young and Van Morrison, and he shared his love of death metal and punk and we both loved prog and metal, etc. We went to concerts together starting when he was 13, everything from Bush and the Goo Goo Dolls to Slipknot, Mushroom Head, Mudvayne, Zz Top etc. He loved The Killers and Bad Religion and Opeth and Led Zeppelin and also the '70s classic rock songs I was always showing him. It seems impossible that he's been gone 7 years, I miss him so much still.
I think the synthesis is the alien effect
Because this is such a great depiction of someone who witnessed a terrible crime years ago, "the first time, the last time, we ever met," and the anger meaning "something's in the air tonight"--meaning retribution, along with other hints in the words, I thought it was the perfect theme music for the 80's crime show, Miami Vice. Ever see that? They still run it on cable channels.
Check out Angelina Jordan I would start with Bohemian Rhapsody… Move on over to I put a spell on you… And enjoy the search!!
Love Phil Collins & his band Genesis
This was his farewell tour. This show was in Paris.
