15. Phil Collins / In The Air Tonight

[@peppergrind]

Leland Sklar, talking about how much he loves playing this song he spends more time admiring the other musicians on than actually playing himself. Love this guy!

[@srxiii2261]

True humility and true musicianship, never forget to listen to the other guys in the band.

[@LukeMaynard]

Every great musician I've ever heard is immediately identifiable as such by how much they gush over the musicianship of the other people they admire. They're each worth 100,000 regular listeners when it comes to how much they hear and appreciate what others do. If I only sold 3 copies of my next CD, I'd be happy as long as one of them went to somebody like Mr. Sklar.

Everyone always talks about the drum fill, but that bass line is pure magic

[@knurd75]

One of Jon Giblins gems! Not as well known as Mr. Sklar, but also an amazing studio guy.

You're right! A friend pointed it out to me, I'm glad to hear that it was Leland. Beautiful!

That razor guitar riff is absolutely haunting!

As his eyes close he is replaying the scene from on stage in his memory and is there again for a moment...respect to you and your talent. Thanks.

[@krbmsw]

This song is the quintessential example of less is more. Everything in its right place. Watching Lee play one note with so much feeling. Just incredible.

[@RichardTClark396]

This band had the best chemistry of people I have been fan since the beginning.

[@SeanLaMontagne]

This man has played 1 note in 10 minutes and I am still loving this video

[@danfry909]

Man, I'm in tears! The feels from this track are unreal. Can't imagine how it must have felt to play there on stage in a stadium, standing in the bass field.

[@barrygoodson4952]

Leland would be the perfect guy to have a beer with and talk music for a few hours ! A real people's person.

Nah, imagine being Phil Collins, or a member of Toto & being able to say Leland Sklar was your bassist. Now that's got to be a thrill.

Simon Preston ... A sublime touché. 👏👏✌️

....and Jackson Browne! and James Taylor!

[@RubinOotes]

I’m a drummer, and for decades people say: in the air tonight, the drums man, amazing. And for decades I respond: are you deaf...? The bass man, the bass! Soooo nice to see you do this so close to us. Thank you for making all you made mr. Sklar 🙏🏼

[@RubinOotes]

I even read: John Giblin. But any of these guys, including mr. Sklar rock the hell out of the song.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

@@RubinOotes there, that's very true take a look at Steely Dan all the guitar player's they've had Through The Years in and out the doors on the album's. but then you look at who's been there for yrs Jon Herington many many years doing the stage work guitar playing

[@rich3317]

I’m living in Ukraine. I love Phil Collins. I can’t say I know you. But I found myself looking you up. Cool beard. You been around along time. Beautiful music you make thank you.

[@v_sign]

Talking 'bout so much passion, even after all these years of playing these kind of songs over and over again. Magical.

[@MrGregmac]

I saw Phil Collins sing this on a Robert Plant tour back in about 1984. He would come out from behind the drums for this one song. So powerful!

[@HENJAM48]

Not an ounce of ego... Just a desire to make the perfect collaboration. So Much love for this man.

[@zorbeclegras5708]

What I find fantastic is that after having played this song so many times, after having played everywhere with the best, Mr. Sklar has kept his eyes amazed as a child.

[@raanusant]

Doesn’t it all come down to that? being present? 🤍

[@juanmanuel5135]

Totally agree with that. This guy was always there 100%

[@MrFreevo]

that's music magic!

[@reddesertoffroad]

Back again in late 2023 to watch this again and appreciate Leland's appreciation for this song that means so much to so many.

[@Ionic457]

Bro!!!.. I found you during covid..didn't know why I loved your stuff... then unfollowed... But years later... ... and it's almost 2025 and it's hitting me tonight/this morning at 545am on Dec 4th 2024, that you're responsible for some of the best music that humanity had created.. Thakn you so damn much for you being yourself and embracing us internet normies in this current time! Thanks you so damn much Leland! Come to Toronto soon ! It's a goal of mine now to see you perform live! Thanks so much brother! I love bass, and you are the reason why! I can noodle on a guitar andrip solos, but bass connects with me... and you're the example I didn't realize until now, was why! Thank you sir!!!

[@mikenelson1986]

My favorite lines from Phil during a tour when introducing him...”He was clean shaven when we started these introductions”

[@GoDamnWeird]

Most people won't get it. That's what we call an Actual Drummer Joke. XD Nice one Phil! Like it, like it! XD

[@djmips]

Isn't it just as simple as implying the introductions were taking a long time (as his beard grew) ?

[@Nhilzer]

This is beautiful, so good to listen to this song and even better with your bass sound.

[@TFFgeek]

'In the air tonight' is a great marriage of tension and storytelling. The moment that that drum fill hits, the relief you feel is incredible. Thank you Leland for doing your part (magnificent).

[@bolleke140997]

Leland Sklar, an unusual star who combines his immense talent with a true sense of outspoken humanistic involvement. You just cannot but love this guy!

[@kj2540]

With this song I asked repeatedly to God if he loved me. I questioned myself so many times because of the harsh conditions growing up. God if you would have shown sooner, in the middle or in between;however, always felt that something indeed was protecting me.Hearing these music truly elevated me. And, helped me going. Thank you so much.

[@artheriford]

Lee is the real deal. Love his stories and of course watching/listening to him play.

[@Stringman1950]

Leland is a national treasure. Played on my favorite albums as long as I remember. Early 70s, at least. Rock on ... as they say.

[@webbsamples]

I had to go back after I watched this video and see the live version that I've watched many times before. My favorite Phil Collins song. Seeing the bass player who also has tons of stage presence made it even better!

[@MrCabimero]

Is there any musician more prolific than Mr. Sklar? I can't imagine there is. Love him and his humble nature. He seems unaffected by his success. Many lessons to be learned from him. Thank you sir.

[@cstromsoy]

Privilege listening to you talk about this epic song. Thank you so much. What a wonderful and humble man. You’ve been part of music that will give people pleasure forever ❤

[@MrShippens]

Stumbled about this by accident. Man, this is so awesome. I just started playing bass and this is so inspireing. Mr. Sklar is one of a kind. I like his emotion and true passion. Thank you for sharing that. All the best..

[@irrsinnrainer]

I always loved how this song builds towards the climax when the full band enters with probably the most famous drumfill of all time. And I think in the live versions it's even better than on the record.

[@roderick617]

Just thank you, Sir! I was 7 when I first heard this song. I'm not a musician, but the way I hear music makes it the most pleasurable thing in the world. You, Sir, are why I LOVE the bass guitar. I've heard of the drums being referred to as a heartbeat, but to me, the bass is what flows through the body and gives it life.

[@BrettTracyRealtor]

I'm almost 40, I can remember sitting with my dad watching Miami Vice, this episode, and this song came on!!! Gives me chills!! Man!!! Michael Mann could really direct and produce!! That scene was the best 4 minutes EVER to have appeared on cable TV!!! I cant name another show!! This episode, this song, changed the way people dressed, carried themselves!! Isn't it amazing how music can bring you back to a moment in time!!! Looks like Leland is reminiscing as well!!! Leland you are the man!!!

[@chicagotouch9319]

I love all these legendary masters who can adapt to ANY genre. Lee has worked with so many brilliant artists. Terrific role mode.

[@maximebeland811]

Merci à vous d'être une inspiration pour moi. À 56 ans je vient de commencer à jouer de la basse, un rêve que j'avais mis de côté depuis trop longtemps. Comme on dit, il n'est jamais trop tard! Thanks to you to be an inspiration for me. I'm 56 years old and I just began to play bass. I love it! That was a dream since I was young but never had the chance to realize it. Thanks God, it's never too late to make dreams come true! Thanks again and take care!

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

Amazing interview! On KZbin there is a concert video of this song with Leland on bass. This band was on fire that night and I know Phil is a legend on drums. But what got me mesmerized, during this one song from KZbin, was the bass and the Stratocaster. It was like both of them were talking to each other! I like others probably first heard this song on Miami Vice. It would have been cool to show that clip in sync on the screen behind the stage during the concert. Thank you Leland for helping to create music we will never forget!

Phil was a major part of my soundtrack to life in the 80's, Daryl was THE 80's guitar sound of the 80's and thank you for all your contributions to the band (and so many others!)

Watching this video, I smile, seeing my youtube behavior reflected in my screen - you "air playing" things before your bass part begin - the pure, sheer joy of your expressions and the happiness you exude is why you have been one of my favorite musicians since the 70s. I do just what you do - drum solos, air guitar riffs, bass picks and of course vocals to all the great songs from the day....... and it brings me amazing pleasure. Thank you for your videos in this past year. Wonderful, and many thanks.

[@TheAlja]

"This is the definition of tension" - yes exactly! Oh god, i have tears in my eyes. This song is such a masterpiece. And it happens so often that when i bring this up, even to fellow musicians, that they kind of shrug it off. Because there is not much happening for a long part in the song. But yes exactly thats why, building the tension, creating so much emotion with only a few sounds, the distorted guitar, a single bass note, the subtle keyboards. Phil Collins voice so calm but powerful, threatening. And then exploding into the thunder like drums with that deep, pushing bass line and then the drums hitting you once more. This song is like sex with a demon or something. A total masterpiece.

[@tony69em]

I totally understand and agree

[@dos-fslady3140]

Fridolin, I just had to reply to your post, as your description of the emotional buildup of this song is better than any other I have ever read, and truly I have been studying this song even though I have no musical talent whatsoever. I am an EXTREME appreciator of music of almost all kinds (full disclosure: I can't stand opera). And yes, the calm but powerful voice -- not to mention the few camera shots of his face that had such depth of expression. AND ... the fact that he walked slowly to his drum set that had just risen from the stage, and had barely a split second before he started playing. One of my favorite performances of all time. I lived in Berlin for 6 months. Brilliant city, spectacular museums -- and a lively arts scene. DELICIOUS FOOD! (I'm German & Swedish, from Wisconsin). Again, thank you so much for your post. All the best, Lynn in Albuquerque

[@missbelled6700]

It's also a testament to the power of treating each 'first time' with a song as something special, and give it full attention if possible. Once you're "spoiled" on the release of the tension it's a whole different experience and completely changes the pace that you feel it.

[@MulaBatiswaHutagaol]

Fridolin Freundlich I couldn't agree more with you totally. Especially the about buliding the tension. That was way Michael Mann put this song in Miami Vice: after arresting his ex-partner, Sonny drove with his soon to be partner, Rico, in the night through the city to catch the bad guy. The tension was really real in that scene. And it is, till now, the legendary scene of Miami Vice.

[@GoDamnWeird]

It makes me happy when people appreciate the composition. A song isn't just lyrics and a riff. Well...not a good song.

I had the privilege of seeing Phil Collins for the first time last year, and I loved the live performance of the song. Other than everybody's favorite part, I loved the part of "I REMEMBER!"
