Phil Collins literally broke his back playing drums this hard for 40 years. He now cannot walk without the aid of a stick and is in permanent pain. He sang his last concerts sat in a chair.
What an amazing drummer, singer and songwriter. An absolute legend.
There’s a clip of Chester and Phil practicing on an ottoman in a Barcelona hotel. It is awesome. I’m not a drummer, but I have seen Phil and Chester live…their drumming filled you from your lungs. Phil’s son is also a great drummer.
I loved this …. 3 super talented musicians jamming together !!! 🥁🪘🥁😘
The third drummer on stage with Phil & Chester is Cuban percussionist Luis Conte, who has worked with numerous artists in addition to Phil. Another good drum duet by Phil& Chester to check out is "Conversation With 2 Stools" from Genesis' 2007 trunnion tour.
Thanks Michael!!
Sadly that's also the one that caused his inability to play anymore - and which he ended up doing with his sticks taped to his hands towards the end of the tour :(
Ok please explain I've never heard that
Listen to old Genesis when Phil was the drummer . Just the drummer . The drum tracks on the early Genesis albums are amazing. Progressive drumming at its finest
You hit the nail right on the head. His drumming back then because they were a prog group was insane.
Someone dig out Shepperton with Peter and send it to him!
So many great songs. Check out his drum duet with Bill Bruford on “Cinema Show” it on UA-cam. Also on Suppers Ready his drumming on the “Apocalypse in 9/8” section is insane. Better on live versions but go ahead and try to count it if you can!
@@seanjudge4675 yep, the 1976 stuff on those two tracks with Phil and Bill, fab. Also the stuff on Seconds Out, including Cinema Show with Bill and the rest with Chester, Suppers Ready, Firth of fifth, robbery assault and battery. Love Phil on the old Genesis Live from 1973 on Watcher and Musical Box and on some early studio stuff like the original Cinema show. So many treats in there.
Don't forget his performances with Brand X.
The great Chester Thompson from my hometown of Baltimore, MD...outstanding!!!
I miss seeing Phil and Chester playing together with Genesis...classic, classy live act!
their simultaneous drum solos were amazing!
I was fortunate to see Genesis “Mama” tour in Houston in 1983! I was 16 years old and it was phenomenal ♥️ Phil and Chester killed it!!
@@digzat Wow Laurie... Now THAT would have been the Genesis tour to see! I bow to you...
What you cannot get from this is the quality of the sound reinforcement for this tour. I saw this tour in Sacramento about 10 rows from the stage. The sound was the best quality I have ever heard. Phil always was a stickler for his sound reinforcement but this was the pinnacle. I haven't heard anything like it at any other concert.
These three sound like the drum section of a marching band. This is great. A lot of talent up there on that stage. Get DOWN! Good stuff. EPIC......
I'm always happy to see someone witnessing the Collins/Thompson duet for the first time.....quite a trip!
Seen this live in the early 2000's.....and this was the way they started the evening
!
If you ask bass player Leland Sklar, who has done almost 30 000 bass tracks in 53 years, Phil is one of the most talented drummers. If you ask Phil what he is, He says "drummer"
"dwamma"!
Humble is always good! Gives more respect inthe end!
Leland Sklar is a MONSTER.... dude has played on literally the whole sound track of my life!
@@harlech2 My life's sound track too. And it is wonderful that in the world is even one very kind and warm hearted monster :-)
One of the very few artists that sound live, just as good as on any of his studio albums
BETTER, EVEN!!
People always seem to forget, when Genesis was Phil and Peter on Vocals they were a prog band.
Phil doesn't get half the respect he deserves as both a drummer and front man.
And to think Genesis was looking for a new lead singer when they realized Phil had a voice as well!
They always were a prog rock band because there are prog tracks in every album.
Phil won 8 Grammys, 3 AMAs, 4 Billboard Music Awards, 2 Golden Globes, 6 Brits, 6 Novellos, 2 MTV Music Awards, an Academy.Award and the Disney Legend Award. He also was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.
He’s also one of only three artists (the other two are Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson) to sell 100 million records both with their respective groups and solo.
I’d say he has an immense amount of respect.
Everyone goes on about Neil Peart (and rightly so) but Phil Collins is every bit as good.
He has ALL of mine and more.
Collins and Chester are beasts
I remember going to one of his concerts where they ran between each other’s drum sets and started playing the other drums. Absolutely brilliant.
Chester and Phil played together for so many years, they have put together some incredible performances. They play a duet in many concerts. I heard them in person once and they blew me away. Collins and Bruford played together for one year before Chester came in. Great stuff.
Their grins back and forth at each other throughout this piece are awesome! You can see how much fun they are having playing together! I always love seeing the interaction of musicians when they are doin' what they love and lovin' what they do! The Charlie Daniels Band and RUSH were perfect examples of that. All of the members of each respective group would joke around with each other while they were cranking out incredible music!
This is my favorite interaction of musicians. Another favorite is Don Felder and Joe Walsh playing off eachother on guitar in Turn To Stone, you can see how much fun they were having. ua-cam.com/video/p7CRTFUf9Gw/v-deo.html the best part starts right at about the 4: 50 mark in that video.
That's the opening for the concert! It turns to the first song as all the other musicians comes on stage. Check out Phil and Chester in the drum duet from Genesis "Mama Tour".
was this from the The Way We Walk Live 1992 ? if so i was there :)
@@repairitdontreplaceit No. This performance was from his The first farewell tour " in 2004. But the one you mentioned is awesome. Envy you for seeing that live!
I love how much he's loving this
In my opinion, he is and always will be the Best Drummer in this world!
Took a hell of a lot of practice to keep two drummers in perfect time over such an extended duet. Phil and Chester are both superb
...let alone three drummers...
Phil is out of this world!
I saw them do this. Phil is my all time favorite drummer.
Phil together with Chester will be missed forever. Things will never be the same. Sad not having Chester von Genesis Reunion.
There is a big upside to this, you will here Genesis live using the appropriate drum concert tom kit type on 97% of the show that used to be on CT's DWs and Sonors. It's the best part of the tour, which in my opinion will not happen now.
Have you heard Phil’s son Nick on the drums? He’s been touring with Genesis and his dad is on vocals.
Phil and Chester definitely World's excellent drummers! Just like Dave Weckl and the Japanese Hiroyuki Noritake in the Jazz/Fusion fraction. Love them!
You are enjoyable to watch on this cold January day. Love your enthusiasm. I bet you're a great teacher.
RIP Garey! May your journey be smooth. Thank you for the constant inspiration! 12.06.21
If anyone needed persuading that drums are a *musical* instrument rather than just a glorified metronome to keep the real musicians in time need look no further. A bravura performance by all three that also shows that drummers don't have to be crazy young kids!
I learned this fact in elementary school with the showing of STOMP Out Loud in music class, no persuasion needed, but Phil and Chester definitely played a part in expanding and solidifying my opinion that percussion is perfect on its own.
OMGosh, what I wouldn't give to have been at that concert. Amazing!
To my mind Phil is one of the greatest but frustratingly that has been somewhat overshadowed by his pop fame. His playing with Brand X is frankly astonishing, especially on the first album Unorthodox Behaviour. The great Leland Sklar has been very complimentary and insightful about Phil in his excellent YT vids.
If it weren't for his Pop...so many people wouldn't have found his truly amazing material
Brand X were brilliant.
Nuclear Burn... One of his best!!
I've seen them twice and always incredibly awesome. Another thrill was seeing Santana with legendary TITO PUENTES. R.I.P.
I love watching you watch and analyze this. Because to me, someone who doesn't know how to play drums, it just sounds really cool and amazing, but you actually know what they're doing and what it's called and how to do it and watching you recognize and watch so carefully and closely is really fun.
Agreed with most comments: Phil was incredible during the 1970s and provided super tasteful drum tracks in the 1980s. Very likely not the best technically, but my personal favorite ever. Phil is the reason for many to become a musician in the first place. Also check how in the drum duets he shows how much he appreciates Chester.
Still was a great technician. Especially in the 70's. The best or one of the best, it doesn't really matter. I agree he's also my personal favorite. He had such a flair to his playing and could do crazy stuff with time signatures as well as anybody. Definitely the most interesting drummer to listen to!
I remember seeing Genesis play at Peoples Park in Bezerkley 1980. He also drummed for Robert Plant @ a concert at The Cow Palace in S.F. One of the best of all time.
I love Phil and Chester's sound in 1980, not many tracks on record from that year but I just love that drum sound, 4th side of the 3 sides live double LP.
I Love Phil
Everything Is better with percussion.
Anyway i think that what makes this so cool Is the fact that they are playing with each other not against
Just this solo..is Priceless.....amazing...
Phil is one of my top influences...as a drummer, a person, and a Texan.
As a Texan? That's just weird and confusing
Ah! But he has a great passion associated with the history of The Alamo....
@@concise707 I've been there, its tiny
@@adrianpyne2272 Phil has donated the largest personal collection of Texas historical artifacts back to the people of Texas (and the world). Although I have not personally met him, he just seems like a stand up guy.
Phil and Chester do a duet on the Genesis album Three Sides Live on the songs Dodo/Abacab that is absolutely superb. It literally sounds like only 1 drummer- they are in perfect sync., but when you watch the video you can see it's both of them playing! You will love it!!!!!!
This was very special. Music for the soul. Thanks for sharing this.
I've no doubt this guy is a skilled drummer but you can just tell with his reactions and focus he's mesmerised
Thank You Master 😃👍🎶☕
Luis Conte is the percussionist
i tech'd for Luis once, just one gig, back in '99 for a show at the Avalon in Hollywood. it was awesome. it was my first time working with a strictly Latin percussion setup and i learned a lot. and of course i set up his entire rig right-handed because i didn't know he was lefty. he wasn't thrilled, but he wasn't a dick about it. and then we were hands-on together, putting it all back right. he showed me a lot of cool stuff about that type of gear and I've been fully into it ever since. totally cool AF, as professional as they come. excellent night.
what a drum duo superb.
These are one of the best drummers in the world!
This gives me the chills! Damn he can beat those drums
A trio really! Fun to watch.
Genesis is one of my favorite bands. I got to see them quite a few times, to this day one of the greatest live acts of all time. Genesis concerts were special, like a Rush concert. Great review as always.
Wind And Wuthering 77' LA Sports Arena. Other worldly.
Chester said that Phil taught him the "Ringo shuffle" and in return Chester taught Phil the "Philadelphia swing" A good example of the latter is on "Follow you, follow me" where Phil played what Chester would have played.
Repeated that feel later on Dodo. Chester did Dodo well.
I love listening to drums. And I love watching you listen to drums 🥁
Phil Collins and Chester Thompson were a great team, total dedication to perfection but nobody seems to give any credit to the percussionist on congas , even I don’t know his name but together all three were a formidable force
He is Luis Conte
The great Luis Conte on percussion!
That was stupendous! Thanks so much!
WOW
The Percussionist is Luis Conte
That was MASTERFUL Phil Collins is a LEGEND.
I’ve never seen this before, thank you :)
Look up his eldest son Simon Collins wow sounds so much like his father with a more modern vibe or one of his younger sons Nicholas collins who plays drums for him at his concerts wow such tallent.
The drumming duels between Phil and Chester were exceptional.
More duet than duel
What an amazing showdown of a great talent. Hats off guys.🤜🤛👏👏👏💕
Yes! Thanks!
FABULOUS PHIL!!!!! Chester Thompson also was just incredible, what a team!!! Incredible!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!!!
Phil Collins is badass! Ain't many that can sing his songs
Garey is in Heaven. Drums, more drums and even more drums.
Hi I'm glad you enjoyed it I was there in paris one of the best night of my life please watch in the air tonight from the same concert or a genesis drum duet Phil & Chester
Check out anything Phil Collins did with Brand X ,as far as Chester Thompson is concerned , he used to play for Frank Zappa ...enough said,one of my favorites is Brand X song ISH off of the livestock album
i always loved -ish too i always would a full album as -ish only style
The legend
That whole concert is great. Check it out. You'll love it!!
I actually had to subscribe after watching your reaction to my favorite Band!
It's neat to see someone rock out to an awsome Drum solo with 3 of the best drummers on the planet playing together :)
It's neat that you're a music teacher I went to a music school a school that specialized in music all day long and you would have fit in so nice :) I would have taken up drums and would have been happier now :) I really need a soundproof Room with fantastic acoustics! God-bless you I hope you have a happy New Year and that you stay safe. Thank you for the fun video :)
I when I believe it is Tito Puentes on bongos
Consider this outstanding "flappy" Drumsound of Mr. Phil Collins ! i guess the Toms Material is Fiberglass .. Greatest "Gretsch" Kit ... Love it !
Really love hearing old timers play the drums. They understand the music involves changes in pace, volume levels and tones is real music. I think a lot of young drummers believe that hitting the drums as hard, as loud and as fast as they can means "music"....it's not. It like young guitarists who thing shredding as fast as possible on the top three strings (G,B,E strings) from fret 15 to 22 is music or playing two string guitar power cords as hard, loud and as fast as possible is music....it's not.
Great reaction vid....thanks!
Priceless ❤️
that wore me out haha, needed to sit down!
I have never heard 3 drummers playing three different drum sets in sync!!!!! Jesus!
Check out the "Rockin' 1000" video of them playing "Learn to Fly" and watch almost 100 drummers hit the beat in perfect sync. ua-cam.com/video/JozAmXo2bDE/v-deo.html
Thank you for your reactions, your videos are great.
I´d be really interested to see your reaction to the older Phil from mid mid-genesis drum duets..The Wembley drum duet from ´87 that goes into Los Endos is much more interesting as it really became a long composition Also the double drumming during Dukes Travels from 1980..it is kles a solo but their doubke drumming is so musical.
no no the best of Mr. Collins drumming happened in the seventies.
Guitar player here!!I really appreciate your analysis on many drum greats,I really want to learn the drums but I have asthma and sometimes when I play some simple drum ideas with a rock attitude I have problems breathing.I don't know what I can do I guess I''ll be playing guitar for all my life,at least I can write songs.Thank you Garey!!
Chester Thompson is probably the most underrated drummer in music. He's a beast on the skins!
Underrated? Chester played with Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Genesis and Phil Collins. Enough said. 😂👏👍
Phil Collins loved him! Legend is, Phil had to lobby the other 2 guys to bring Chester on board.
I think you are right. There is something magic in his drumming. Dynamics, accents, his fills with cymbals interplay and many more "little" things. Check Genesis/ Seconds Live or Zappa/One Size Fits All. Wonderfull, very original attitude, nothing flashy but beautiful.
Phil was really good!!!
a genius, the master of his craft, and I am talking about Chester and Phil.
Phil and Chester were amazing together, drummers supreme 👍
Cool that recognised pop singer opens concert with drum spectacular ...reminding us where it all comes from. Especially with ex Weather Report virtuoso Chester Thompson. But he can be tight, clean and groovy... check out all is collaborations with the great John Martyn..
Extraordinary! We'll never see the likes of him again (lyric from Driving the Last Spike)!
Phill's son Nicholas is a mean drummer!!!
Luis Conte is the percussionist who has been with Phil Collins since the Nineties . Lenny Castro has been with Toto ever since . GreAt drummers , great rhythms and “ call - and -response “ kinda approach !!!
Very good i like it
Dance on Volcano / Los Endos double drum solo by Phil & Chester on the Seconds Out album, is the best DDS I have ever heard and studied…
Drum teacher reaction equals automatic sub.
Where have I been?
Phil is next level.
I went to see a group called “Big Pig” and they were all percussion. They had a hit called “Breakaway”. It was awesome and I was in awe of their sound and rhythm. They are a New Zealand band from the late 80’s. Well worth a listen to if you can find a live recording. There radio version is still great but you can’t beat a live version.
Please listen to "Supper's Ready" on the Second's Out album. If this impressed you, you ought so see what Chester and Phil do with a 9/8 count.
Bruford made much of Seconds out....Cinema show is simply brilliant!
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit I might be wrong, but I think Cinema Show is the only track on the album that actually features Bruford.
Oh and yes when Phil was with Brand X he was awesome and a shame that band was never appreciated for the amazing material they produced
Great reaction 😁 and awesome drumming 🥁😁😁
Thank you so much 😁
Chester Thompson the other drummer. Weather report Zappa bands....
He also played for the Bee Gees and Santana.
@@slcncr didn't know bee gees connection.i seen the bee gees once no memory of the drummer.
Regular concert goers love this , they always comment how great the drum solo was
Collins is badass
Phil was taught by Lloyd Ryan, as was Qous & Tupal Drummer
Great reaction... you were reacting like a twenty years old kid will react :)
4:40 OMG they are so tight! This makes me want to see a vidio with Safriduo.
Phil and Chester together were legendary. Collins is really up there with Carl Palmer, Bill Bruford and Neil Peart.
I don’t know about as good as Neil
@chalie boyee I think Phil's best performances are to be found between A Trick of the Tail and Duke (inclusive) and all the Brand X material in between. Beyond that, as the bands music simplified, inevitably his drumming had to also. As for Alan White, yes I agree. Excellent drummer. I sometimes prefer his playing to Bruford. His performance on Relayer is incredible.
