I can read this was posted 2 years ago but.. As a white man who grew up with Phil Collins, and probably takes his music for granted, this video genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Not necessarily him on the drums but to see the reactions from people not of my tone. Bloody Brilliant. How many would do the same thing 2 years later?
This is man that in his decades, alone and with Genesis, could pack every stadium anywhere and give you a two hour show that would leave you exhilarated, exhausted and horse from singing along. So glad to have been blessed to grow up in the 70's and 80's and to have seen this man numerous times in his prime!
Yessss!!!! I've been asking everyone on UA-cam if they remember a scene from Miami Vice where this song plays there's a huge explosion in the background & no one has said yes, not yet, until you!! 💯✌️💕 TY for that. I feel redeemed 😁
Okay, come on, let's be real for a second. I may be too passionate about. Sorry, if I am. That's, for me, not nostalgic. But in fact even more, it is not 80s defining. This is just music defining. Hope, I did not insult anybody.

Oh kids you just don't know. He gonna take his time getting to those drums. Bam. Chills
I have listened to this song for 40 years and I still get goosebumps when he first hits the drums. It is amazing watching other peoples reactions that have never heard the song.
Watching younger generations finally discovering music and musicians it has been my privilege to have listened to for decades. Seeing their shock and realisation that music and musicians were far more talented back then and what they have today is just pale imitations
I've said this, too. The music, lyrics and voices were much better old school than the music of today. They sang with depth and if they sang right in front of you they would sound just as good. So sound or studio enhancement. Playing live sounds just as good and listening to the lyrics were like listening to literature. They made sense, some told stories, some were romantic without being nasty and some had morals to it. And seeing the younger generation loving it is a great thing.
You young people wounder why us older people talk about back in the day music? this is why. Please RESPECT THE PROCESS of how your music came to be. MUCH LOVE AND PEACE,
As a 50 year old man , it brings me to great smiles to see the youth react to all the great classics that I grew up with. I assure you , we older generation reacted the same , mesmerized as well. FYI , check out Phil's work with Genesis.
This is one of the most recognisable drum segments of all time, it highlights the power and importance of the drums, mostly overlooked by the traditional bands, but as important as any other instrument, and more is used correctly.
We really need to bring music appreciation classes back. That all these kids didn't know that Phil Collins is considered one of the best drummers ever is a crime in itself. But I'm glad to see so many starting to appreciate the 80's again.
Us old guys love watching the young ones watch this video. Phil is a king, and this song is on repeat at my house and has been for over 30 yrs. Yep, we had great music that is still great!
I always love watching the "youngins" react to this video. Always makes me (as a 54yr) chuckle. Yep. Short, bald... and one HELL of a musician/entertainer.
I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU YOUNGSTERS DISCOVERING WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW. THAT THE MUSIC OF THE 60'S 70'S & 80'S WERE THE BEST EVER MADE AND INCREDIBLE ARTISTS THAT RECORDED THESE ICONIC SONGS! PHIL COLLINS IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN DRUMMERS OF ALL TIME.
This music was normal for us in 1981. What an awesome time to grow up. It is also heart warming to see all these people who did not grow up on music to hear this and react this way. I have watched all these people, and it is amazing to see them realize that the stuff on the radio, spotify, and all the rest that they listen to has not in fact been music. Just a bunch of mathematically strung together notes without real artistry. Also, there is a huge difference between a singer, and someone who is autotuned.
I was too also just literally shocked that these songs and artist were not known by everyone. I was a musician, lead rock and roll singer, keyboardist and songwriter. Graduated high school in 1981..our high school was 5 years and the music from 1977 to 1981 was real rock n roll . We had Aerosmith, Boston., 38 Special., Kiss., Queen, ACDC (my favorite), Van Halen,. Def Leopard. Cinderella. Guns and Roses,. Leonard Skynard. Eagles. John Cougar.Joan Jett. Pat Benatar. Fleetwood Mac., Rangers., ZZ Top, and the #1 band of all time..The Allman Brothers!! The list goes on and on. Special mention to KC and the Sunshine band and Kool and the Gang. I miss the brass instruments on stage..just makes you want to dance.
I'm 76 years old and seeing your generation appreciate real music is refreshing. Musicians really had to work it back in the day and some still are. Led Zeppelin's live performance of Stairway to Heaven is epic. So is Procul Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale. Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody live (when Freddie Mercury was dying from Aids and STILL performing) was the epitome of Rock 'n Roll.
Made out my funeral music list .Procol Harum Whiter Shade of Pale is on list. Very non traditional list.im healthy just making it easier when my time comes.i enjoy music .also on my list is Crimson and Clover,Free Bird , Twilight Zone,Money , Spirit in the Sky And this song
Phil Collins is a musical genius. And I really enjoyed seeing the reactions from you young folks (I’m 68) just discovering his music. Keep up with the videos. The reactions from the commentators was fun to watch and listen to - honest and earnest. Nice group of folks. Thxjd
I'm with you i really understand how you really feel. I want those days back. There will never be times like this ever again the 80s and 90s was great times the generations now don't know have no clue. No more music like those times.today. Music today some is good but most of it is junk crap that called music but really isn't.
I was actually at this live performance in Paris in 2004 and it is one of my life’s highlights. I first heard this song on Miami Vice in 1981 (ya, I’m old). Phil Collins was and still is a giant in the music industry. His music is amazing. This song alone shows what a genius he is.
#1. You were there... and I love n hate you cuz I wasn't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #2 You are not old, cuz I was a kid when I saw it, esp. when the show formed music videos out of their soundtrack songs. Those were 'life in a warm cup' to us. #3 I hope it will still be the best blissful memory for you 4ever, cuz WOOWWWW. 😵😶😵😶
He has an oscar and 7 grammys. Has sold over 100 million solo albums...250 million including when he recorded with Genesis. This was recorded in 1980 released in 81...he writes all his music...everything you hear, he composed. Gotta love this lyrical genius...he is by far my favorite artist of all time
This is frickin PRICELESS !! Knowing the drum beat is coming and waiting for their disbelief is pure poetry Just proves my belief that music transpires generations & cultures & my generation's music still stands , still appreciated , and still blowing mind Remembering getting a new album and couldn't wait to turn someone else on... I think that is why I so enjoy UA-cam "Reactions" vids - helps with 2020 isolation , I watch one and then find myself happily going down the rabbit hole
watching all these reaction videos to all that fantastic music we grew up with makes you realize just how privileged we were back then to have all this awesome songs and musicians compared to today...
I feel like there’s always two levels mind blowing to this song for first time listeners: Listening to the studio version and then seeing the live performance and realizing he does the drums.
I agree, like you said, i bet a lot of people these days don't even realise that it's him playing the drums when they have only heard it and not watched it, i knew because obviously people of our generation remember it the first time around, either then or in the first few years after it came out, Does anyone remember that film with Phil Collins in called Buster - about the great train robbery, that's quite a good film.
@@Christobanistan yes, I'm a child of the 80s, where are you from if you don't mind me asking, I'm from the u.k. i was thinking maybe because Phil Collins is British/English so maybe it's a lot more known in the u.k that it's him playing the drums, than in other places/countries. Maybe because my mum listened to him while i was growing up in the 80s maybe that's the reason i knew about him, you know maybe if my mum hadn't listened to him i might not of known that it was him playing the drums.😊
Thats what real musicians sound like. Him, w genesis, sting, w the police, u2 etc... its art, from the heart. Glad things are coming back around so the young ones can understand that a true musician is about the music first. Everything else like fame and forture are just substance after the fact. Not the other way around.
Funny incident (wasn’t at the time but now is) I had an ex-boyfriend who at the time nearly broke up with me because I wouldn’t get out of the car to go into the grocery store until the drum part kicked in and the song ended. Whoa he was so pissed. He didn’t get it at all though, you don’t leave this song without listening to the powerful moment of Phil on drums; in the store we angry-shopped. He wasn’t the one for me. It has been almost 17 years since that incident but it is still one of the funniest things I ever did.
He did you a favor. Lol! You definitely made the right choice. I had an epiphany moment in high school the first time I heard B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone." I rushed over to my first girlfriend's house so she could hear it and she literally laughed in my face, thinking I was trying to punk her. We didn't make it until the end of the month. It had nothing to do with the song but that was a great indicator that we wouldn't be compatible. I took my next girlfriend to see B.B. when he came to town and she thought it was one of the greatest things she had ever heard. We stayed together for several years. Not trying to knock people with different tastes. Everyone has their preferences. But certain things just can't be overlooked. Also, thanks for teaching me a new term: _angry-shopped_ ; )
Love all of your reactions. I knew he was going to blow your minds when he got on the drums! Glad you got a taste of what us "old folks" have enjoyed for years! LOL
I was at a Phil Collins concert. It was in the round at Van Andel. He came up from below the stage, in the very center. Then he played the first drum solo. It was freaking amazing.
I'm 54 years old, I was a teenager when this song just came out, and it has never gotten old, Phil Collins is one of my favorite performers of all times, solo but also with Genesis, great music from a great music era, now in my older years seen youngsters listening and appreciating the music that I grew up with reaffirms that good quality music endures time and Phil Collins is one of the best.
57, I share the same sentiments. Me and my bff would play this song over and over, sometimes putting that stereo needle in the sweet spot just to hear the drums, but also enjoying the prelude just as much.
Not a single cellphone in the crowd’s hands. Then we were there for nothing but the music in the moment. I’m no luddite, but it was something magical that following generations will never experience and don’t even know what they’re missing.
OMG, I’ve heard this song a thousand times and it never fails to awe me! Huge fan of the man! When you watch and feel it you just want to be him banging on those drums as freakin hard and loud as you can! Everyone around you is playin air drums! I just finished breaking in my new Dynaudio speakers and had my son-in-law over and turned him on to Mr. Phil ( he is also a percussionist, accomplished pianist and freakin good bass player) . He went nuts!! Think I’ll go crank up some “Take Me Home”, really loud, right now!
I'm sure when we get to heaven it's gonna be all chill and stuff then out of nowhere Phil's gonna go ham on a drum and everybody's gonna lose their minds....and gods gonna laugh.....
Phil is a genius; the arrangement of this song; pretty eerie in the beginning; the blue lights, the hype, music & fans; these 2 dudes are crackin on the song; wait til the drum drop; priceless
After seeing this live version for the first time, I wished I was there. The whole performance was one long build up to those epic drums. And the energy level of the song just took off from there. Showmanship at it's finest!
Phil Collins was the drummer for the band Genesis, before he went solo. I was already married and in my mid twenties when this song was new. I look back and realize I was born into incredible decades of music, truly. The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80, yes, even some of the 90s.
Yes, the anticipation building is an art. Like Michael Jackson used to say, “You’ve got to let it simmer.” He would just stand there and people would be screaming. Then they would pass out once he moved or finally began to sing!
I could feel y’all’s reaction comin’ in the air tonight when I saw you were watching the live version! Priceless - lol. This song is such a time machine... I always feel like I need a cigarette after that beat drops - and I don’t even smoke! 😂
GREAT reactions to an amazing classic performance! The different reactions were awesome! It's great that such music lives on like this. Great work by all!
There are some things I would do absolutely anything to have been a part of. Seeing Phil Collins do this live is one of them. Someone hurry up and figure out a time machine so I can go back and do that.
This is so cool to see. One of the greatest drummers still appreciated after 30+ years later. Phil was originally part of Genesis. Checkout some of there stuff if you liked this one. Some of the greats you just take for granted forgetting he's from another generation and there is 2 maybe 3 generations yet to discover them. Genesis was one of the greatest concerts I ever saw live.
I had the pleasure of seeing Phil Collins in Genesis and then Phil Collins single artist in Atlanta!!! One of the most gifted musicians it have 20th century!! I miss him and those days so much!!
For those that don't know Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis then became lead singer when Peter Gabriel left. Then went on to a hugely successful solo career in the 80s and 90s.
For us older people if you grew up on Miami Vice with Crockett and Tubbs watch the scene they use this song for and do not forget Phil Collins also made an appearance on the show. PHIL you ROCK!!!
I was barely out of diapers when this song was used in the 2nd or 3rd episode of Miami Vice. I've heard this song a thousand times but watching and seeing it in 2022 in that sequence is so gdamn epic, it gave me chills like hearing this for the first time ever.
That moment when you realize not everyone knew that Phil Collins is a drummer. And a great one.
I loved their facial reactions.
That is what you call rock n roll.
Check out Black Sabbath War Pigs
I guarantee you that it will blow you away
😁😁😁😁
Without a doubt one of the GREATEST DRUMMER MUSICIANS EVER!😄🤣👍🍺
@@dennispicone6801 accurate
Right! Lol
Genesis what
It was the eighties baby. That's how we rolled in the day. The decade of the greatest music ever.
You got that right!!!

@Michael Harrison. I wish I had seen him in concert back in the day..I bet it was phenomenal 🤩
One of the most nostalgic, 80s defining songs ever. They need to watch Miami Vice while this is playing to really feel it
it always think of miami vice when i hear this song
Oh no. This was the best way to view it. The original artist, in his element.
E. X. A. C. T. L. Y.!
When i heard this song on that M.V. episode, I KNEW Tubbs & Crockett meant business bruh!
Yessss!!!! I've been asking everyone on UA-cam if they remember a scene from Miami Vice where this song plays there's a huge explosion in the background & no one has said yes, not yet, until you!! 💯✌️💕 TY for that. I feel redeemed 😁

This is why you have so much " sampling " because the best has already been created, so now everyone has to piggy back to get a hit!

Phil can bring a grown man to tear up with this performance
This is one of the most recognisable drum segments of all time, it highlights the power and importance of the drums, mostly overlooked by the traditional bands, but as important as any other instrument, and more is used correctly.
Dear young people, you’re welcome. Sincerely, the 1980’s.
Hands down, the 80s was the BEST decade of music EVER!!!
You gotta throw in the 60s and 70' s also.
The 80's and you can fuck off
@@SizzlingTaffy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@cjamesg1992 ouch
Phil smacks those drums like they owe him money,
We really need to bring music appreciation classes back. That all these kids didn't know that Phil Collins is considered one of the best drummers ever is a crime in itself. But I'm glad to see so many starting to appreciate the 80's again.
This goes to show that as an artist, you can take the darkest part of your life and turn it into pure gold. You go Phil!!!

I love the look of "this is disgustingly good"
I always love watching the "youngins" react to this video. Always makes me (as a 54yr) chuckle. Yep. Short, bald... and one HELL of a musician/entertainer.
Forty-four years! How time flies
I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU YOUNGSTERS DISCOVERING WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW.
THAT THE MUSIC OF THE 60'S 70'S & 80'S WERE THE BEST EVER MADE AND INCREDIBLE ARTISTS THAT RECORDED THESE ICONIC SONGS!
PHIL COLLINS IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN DRUMMERS OF ALL TIME.
How many remember this song being played during the show Miami Vice? But this is one of those just damn moments!
he was on miami vice once as a bad guy fid hood too
I remember!! I’m aging myself 😭
This song live is something to keep around for life.

"So does he normally play the drums ?" . . . funniest question EVER !! LOL.
He was the Drummer in a band called Genesis
I know! I laughed and thought, "yeah, and Nasa plays with rockets."
So glad I grew up in the 70s & 80s. Love Phil Collins!
@ Kim Ware. Me too!! Those were some great times with fantastic music 😀😀
I didn't realize how lucky I was to hear it when it came out. That was our reaction too !!!
He is singing this LIVE, folks. Now that’s talent.
Ok Marty Mcfly..Where's my Time Machine?? I'm homesick for the 80's. Whose coming with me??
I'm with you i really understand how you really feel. I want those days back. There will never be times like this ever again the 80s and 90s was great times the generations now don't know have no clue. No more music like those times.today.

Phil Collins did beat drops before there were beat drops… revolutionized production that paved the way for most music you hear today. Legend…
Mike tyson singing it right before he lays alan out on the "The Hangover" is also memorable lol

I don't know anyone who doesn't get the uncontrollable urge to play air drums when listening to that song! A true battle hymn!!!

U mad me laugh 😂 today. Angry shopped
I am rolling on the floor... funniest thing ever !!!bahaha
I wouldn't either
He was not worth your time. It is the 11th commandment: Thou shalt not end In the air tonight early!!
I forget not everyone knows that Phil is a drummer. It's so awesome to see that reaction. I guess Genesis was too long ago.. LOL
Love all of your reactions. I knew he was going to blow your minds when he got on the drums! Glad you got a taste of what us "old folks" have enjoyed for years! LOL
Fun fact. Who plays every instrument in the band? Phil Collins. his recorded songs were all him.
I would love to see Phil Collins reaction watching this video!!! 😱👍♥️
Yep. Wish #PhilCollins could see today’s listeners’ reactions to his performance!
Good thought
So I bet those two boys won’t make fun of “In the Air” again! They’ve been seriously SCHOOLED!!

It's kind of fun to sit back, relax, and watch others enjoy the ride, for the first time!!!!! These reactions are great!!!
I'm so loving it, I think I was 17 when it came out.
I love watching people the moment they KNOW…..🤣
OMG, I’ve heard this song a thousand times and it never fails to awe me! Huge fan of the man! When you watch and feel it you just want to be him banging on those drums as freakin hard and loud as you can! Everyone around you is playin air drums! I just finished breaking in my new Dynaudio speakers and had my son-in-law over and turned him on to Mr. Phil ( he is also a percussionist, accomplished pianist and freakin good bass player) . He went nuts!! Think I’ll go crank up some “Take Me Home”, really loud, right now!
I wish I could watch this for the first time again...
So glad people are still enjoying this. I saw them in concert in 1983.
He was the drummer in Genesis before going solo. The drum solo in this video is epic.
That moment when you find out Phil Collins is THE OG... and just whooped somebody's a*s through space and time with a drum set!!!
And electric guitar piano so many others
It was so much fun watching them learn about Phil! Mighty little Phil Collins!! Some of us have loved him a really long time!!!
How do fully grown adults not know this song or who Phil Collins is 🤣🤣
I’m 47 now and that one moment in music history is still one of the most iconic ever!!
I love seeing the youngins introduce themselves to music that makes you feel so hard you need a nap afterwards!!! Miss this
YESS.
I'm sure when we get to heaven it's gonna be all chill and stuff then out of nowhere Phil's gonna go ham on a drum and everybody's gonna lose their minds....and gods gonna laugh.....
Phil is a genius; the arrangement of this song; pretty eerie in the beginning; the blue lights, the hype, music & fans; these 2 dudes are crackin on the song; wait til the drum drop; priceless
Bet they didn't realize this is from like the early 90s or maybe even 80s. Phil's been Killin it my whole life and I'm 43!!
Snap lol he is beyond epic
After seeing this live version for the first time, I wished I was there. The whole performance was one long build up to those epic drums. And the energy level of the song just took off from there. Showmanship at it's finest!
That drumbeat is one of the heaviest gravitational forces on earth.
That is the best definition of that drumbeat I've ever heard! ❤️❤️
Thanks, Kimberly!
Still has to be the greatest introduction of an instrument into a song EVER EVER EVER. Smooth af the whole time and then BAM
Phil Collins was the drummer for the band Genesis, before he went solo.
I was already married and in my mid twenties when this song was new. I look back and realize I was born into incredible decades of music, truly. The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80, yes, even some of the 90s.
Listen to old Top Of The Pops videos it wasn’t all great.
Loved the reactions of all of them on one screen!
A master class in building suspense, anticipation through music dynamics.
Yes, the anticipation building is an art. Like Michael Jackson used to say, “You’ve got to let it simmer.” He would just stand there and people would be screaming. Then they would pass out once he moved or finally began to sing!
Seriously can't believe you all have never seen or heard of Phil Collins and this epic song...
My thought exactly, one of the most iconic songs ever!
If you are stuck in one genre of music you will never even think about trying others.
Some of them said they've heard the song, but not a live performance of it.
Ikr
Your collective reactions were a sight to behold and the whole show was live. No miming the vocals and musician's all live.
Yes Phil Collins is a drummer and actually regarded as one of the best ever
Phil is a legend. Period. ❤
I love seeing Phil get some love here.
His drumming talent was always so amazing. Will forever love that iconic drum solo
I could feel y’all’s reaction comin’ in the air tonight when I saw you were watching the live version! Priceless - lol. This song is such a time machine... I always feel like I need a cigarette after that beat drops - and I don’t even smoke! 😂
Saw this live in Manchester , lucky lucky me , and Genesis 3 times
I am so jealous! 😊
GREAT reactions to an amazing classic performance!
The different reactions were awesome!
It's great that such music lives on like this.
Great work by all!
Phil Collins is one of the greatest drummers of all time.
There are some things I would do absolutely anything to have been a part of. Seeing Phil Collins do this live is one of them. Someone hurry up and figure out a time machine so I can go back and do that.
I just love You this is why I broke the piggy bank to see the I’m not dead tour
Phil Collins is a masterpiece; the arrangement, the blue lights, the whistling, these 2 guys are crackin on Phil until they hear the drum drop
This is so cool to see. One of the greatest drummers still appreciated after 30+ years later. Phil was originally part of Genesis. Checkout some of there stuff if you liked this one. Some of the greats you just take for granted forgetting he's from another generation and there is 2 maybe 3 generations yet to discover them. Genesis was one of the greatest concerts I ever saw live.
I had the pleasure of seeing Phil Collins in Genesis and then Phil Collins single artist in Atlanta!!! One of the most gifted musicians it have 20th century!! I miss him and those days so much!!
Masterpieces like this makes every human vulnerable.
All of the reactions near the end. It's like an orgy. Yes folks, the 70's & 80's created some fantastic music.
For those that don't know Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis then became lead singer when Peter Gabriel left. Then went on to a hugely successful solo career in the 80s and 90s.
Let these young ones know, bro.
@@Statickification I feel so old when people don't recognize musicians from 80s and 90s nowadays.
For us older people if you grew up on Miami Vice with Crockett and Tubbs watch the scene they use this song for and do not forget Phil Collins also made an appearance on the show. PHIL you ROCK!!!
And when he says "Push off wanker" 😂🤣😂🤣
Phil Collins live is magical.Easily the BEST concert i`ve ever been to.Love your appreciation of a musical genius!
I was barely out of diapers when this song was used in the 2nd or 3rd episode of Miami Vice. I've heard this song a thousand times but watching and seeing it in 2022 in that sequence is so gdamn epic, it gave me chills like hearing this for the first time ever.
