Always loved that track, now I'll always love that bass track!

[@huwthomas2124]

So great to see and hear close up the bass parts to classic songs I've loved and been listening to for so long... Thank you. :o)

[@pwyfplaywhatyoufeel5333]

Watching you play is such a joy because you feel the music so deeply. You "PLAY WHAT YOU FEEL" the difference between just playing the music and becoming what you play...thank you Leland!

[@DukeMcDonald]

Lee, you're a national treasure. You have no idea how great these videos are for a PC fan and up and coming bassist as myself. Please them coming, and for goodness' sake, stay safe! #resist

[@hammergeil345]

Mr. Lee Sklar: You are always an Inspiration for Life and for a Life as a Bassplayer! Thank you so much- keep on livin it! Greetings from Germany

[@ruokproductions]

The playing, the stories, the compassion, wow. Awesome. Thank you!!!

So soothing to hear and see you every day for six days now. Please stay safe and healthy and thank you so much for doing this and being with us!

[@erikarko]

Lee, Your playing and your stories just makes me smile and fills me with inspiration!! Thank You so much for doing this!!

[@ygbass37]

It's really nice to be here every days . I listen your story , I listen and play your music . I think many bassists are happy to be with you as between friends . A big smile from France !

[@jwckauman]

So this was originally a Rutherford part, right? When Genesis played live, did Rutherford play the bass or guitar part? Darryl would play whichever part Mike didn't, right? So curious if Darryl actually knew the bass part from Genesis and was playing the guitar part for the first time in this tour? If so, did Darryl teach to Leland? Boring question, I know, but I find those little tidbits of info interesting.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

It’s also interesting, because the subsequent tour (...And Then There Were Three...) was the first tour Daryl did with Genesis. That’s where he and Phil began their professional association. I suspect that Daryl played that guitar part on tour.

[@35Danconn]

Thanks for this Leland. I'm a music teacher in Rhode Island and it's been tough trying to teach 700 k-5th kids through "distance learning" for the last week (and foreseeable future). You are absolutely right that it's things like this that help us get through. As a bass player as well it's great to hear one of the greats doing what he does best. Thanks again!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great message Leland!! Thanks so much!!

[@brianpeters867]

Such a pleasure watching you play the bass guitar sir. Pleased to have your autograph on your wall. Even though we do not agree politically, trust in knowing that I deeply care for you and your music sir. Have a great day and thank you again for playing for us.

[@drumico4507]

Dear Mr. Sklar. I've been watching your videos for a few days now and it has become a daily ritual. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and for your wonderful bass playing. I now hear the Genesis songs with completely different ears. Greetings from Germany.

[@alexluna6810]

Beautiful and inspiring bass melodies

[@Ian-Steele]

I’ve only just seen this video Leland. I really love your sentiment about what happened after the New York blackout and how we must not let the same happen after the pandemic is over. You have such wise words.

[@alexoyola1910]

Leland you are my inspiration.. thanks for all your music

[@roncerosky6258]

Thank you Lee this whole trip thru your songs has been truly inspirational. Peace and good health to you and yours.

[@seanconlon182]

Thanks again Lee, I'm really enjoying listening to you play aswell as your outlook on life and what's going on for you. The world needs more like you, I've been saying that for years.

[@micki_06]

I can't even imagine being part of such a legendary band ..thank you for making us dream during these hard Times. Hoping to see you again in Italy 🇮🇹

[@andrewdance442]

Thank you for taking your time to educate us both musically and what it should mean to be part of the community in these times. Love from a sleepy market town in the UK

[@JozefOtters23]

Thank you so much to for the beautiful bass lines and the way you share this with us. Always admire your basswork and inspired me as a bassplayer. Keep playing and spreading the love for music in general and bass!

[@b1LL1eMc]

I remember before I became a musician, I would watch Phil Collins' Seriously Live tour many times over - can't remember where it was - I just remember being in awe of your bass playing - I didn't know anything about bass back then, but I just remember thinking how awesome your playing was. I am now a high school music teacher. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

oh my gosh i missed this because i wasnt getting the notifications ugh! glad i got to see you play this now Leland! i love listening to you play and listening to your stories!

[@LordEradicus]

30 years. It was 30 years ago that I first saw you, Lee, playing for someone (I forget who) on TV. I soon learned your name and you gradually became one of those cats I've always respected as a bass player. But this is the first time I really got to hear you speak...and I'm better for it. Keep on being cool and being real, man. Peace.

[@lynnebartholomew622]

Thank you, Leland! Beautiful on so many levels.

"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"--The Beatles....THANK YOU, LEE!

[@professorabronsius]

Muchas gracias MAESTRO!!! 🇨🇱🙏

[@Original_Lurke_fromthe_Unknown]

Huge thank you for that track Leland. Love that track. All the best to you and your family. Stay safe from the east coast.

[@raulbarriosmusic786]

Thank you for doing this Lee, very informative and I love the stories you're also bringing us before the songs!

[@dmlevitt]

bands in tubes is a spinal tap thing. love these lee. just found that I hadn't watched this episode. love that song and bass part.

[@brunovaz3410]

I love this song! I went Phil collins concert at Maracanã two year ago adn was a great concert!

[@luizfernandes6604]

Very good ! Great

[@alexr4151]

Thank you for the story about the NYC blackout! It helps at a time like this.

[@gsouza44bass]

Very Nice. Thanks for vídeo.....

[@aussiecoastie72]

Fantastic video Lee ! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@martyforrer9146]

Stay safe too Lee. You are my guiding light, my inspiration, and these videos are gold. I saw you with JT in the 90s in Auckland NZ, and met you at Namm 2005 when I was in the US. I am a hotrodder too, so it's a double whammy for me.

[@NLBassist]

Now I hear the song with fresh ears, the guitar sound is very The Edge of U2. But Genesis was earlier.

[@jazzchris2008]

My favourite song!

[@usomedicinal]

Thanks Lee. Beautiful song & performance.

[@stowy01]

Fantastic!

[@phenixreturns]

for the drums, the remastered in 1994 were so much better but for the amazing bass intro all cd are good enough

[@iskydivetoooo]

Keep these videos coming Lee. We appreciate. 🤗🤗🤗

[@jopusateri]

So great, man!!!

[@zlorenson]

Great stuff. Thanks for the wisdom as well as the tasty bass!

[@ingokummer2806]

Hope your wishes came true and we will have a better world

[@joschkaschiefer]

Thanks Lee!

[@jimw6659]

Hi from England. I am a bit confused by the sloping frets on your bass. I can’t figure out how everything apart from the middle of the neck isn’t out of tune! Thanks again for these videos. It’s great to see you grooving along. Take care.

[@jeffpreston7834]

jim w check out Dingwall basses. It’s called fanned frets or multi-scale. If you look closely, you can see the bridge and nut follow the fan. Intonation is actually supposed to be more accurate.

[@5tokai]

some great thoughts there...

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Unfortunately, Mr. Sklar, the ability to appropriately be proactive for each other is one of the things which has been robbed from us for the time being. My own hope is that the state of emergency will lift soon and we actually embrace the opportunity to be proactive. When [anything] becomes an option again, it should not be taken for granted.

[@TheDevnul]

Thank you!

[@vonrock123]

Thank you.

[@kdrexler]

Sweet!

[@deanbenjamin792]

I heard recently about Phil Collins' health issues. I feel so sorry for him. Just wondering if you've been in touch as Genesis is about to go on tour. I know you toured extensively with Phil when he went solo. If you speak, let him know his fans care about him and are rooting for him.

[@phenixreturns]

you forget to mention THE AMAZING MIKE RUTHERFORD AND DARYL STUERMER WHO ARE VERY GOOD BASSISTS
