Phil Collins is one of the most famous drummers in rock history.

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Didn’t even know he could play drums it was shocking 👍🏽

[@kimberlyr.7712]

@@EbonyIvoryReact makes for a great reaction.

[@TexasRose50]

He played the drums for Genesis.

[@fanciot]

@@EbonyIvoryReact Trust Peter, he is one of the greatest stage and movie actors ever

[@jimgore1278]

[@cyclic8]

Phil is not a singer that plays drums, he is a drummer that can sing.

[@judythornton5109]

We love Phil. Although he can no longer play drums, he will always be remembered for his expertise in drumming and singing. ❤❤

[@ejaubert]

I saw him in Mexico and the reaction was exactly the same!! What’s different? His son played the drums and Phil sung sit in front of the audience because of his physical problems. It was the highest point of the show, I’ll never forget this experience. Love Phil!!

[@cindipossidento5688]

I have to say I am jealous, but so happy u got to see him !!!!! 😘

[@SmashixMetal4Evah]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing that. :-)

[@Blondemom2855]

Kathy here - Phil was the drummer for Genesis, then the lead singer left, and Phil took over. So, he is a drummer that can sing!! He can't play drums anymore due to physical strain over the years, but his son now plays the drums for him. Thanks for your reaction!

[@DanielleGillmoreJohnson]

Great reaction! Phil Collins isn't a singer who plays drums; he's a drummer who sings. He was the drummer for the band Genesis. When the lead singer (Peter Gabriel) left, Collins took over that role though he didn't care to do that.

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

That’s interesting,

[@LeBunt]

Yup

[@nightHawk66]

Not bad for a drummer who sings a bit! Phil joined Genesis in 1970 as their drummer. He did some backing vocals to the singer, Peter Gabriel, and also as the singer on 2 tracks up until 1976. Peter Gabriel left 1975 after the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour and the search for a new singer began. After MANY auditions for a new singer, the band decided that Phil would be the new Genesis singer. They released the 1976 album A Trick Of The Tail with Phil Collins on vocals and drums. For tours they hired an additional drummer, Bill Bruford and in 1977 they hired Chester Thompson who played on tours. He also played almost every Phil Collins solo tours. Phil also played in jazz fusion band Brand X from 1976 beside Genesis recording and touring. Phil Collins is one of only three artists that has sold over 100 million albums as a solo artist and with a group. The other two is Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. Collins also produced and played drums on Frida's (from ABBA) soloalbum Something's Going On 1982 and produced and toured with Eric Clapton. Also played drums on some of Robert Plant's (led zeppelin) soloalbums. He had some acting skills, starred in one episode of Miami Vice and had the leading role in movie Buster. Some other apperances as well. A busy drummer who sings a bit! 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@kimberlyr.7712]

I had Brand X album. Not many people even know about this band. He was busy busy busy.

[@robertromero2928]

Thank you for mentioning raising the bar. That's who Phil Collins is} drummer/piano/lead vocals/song writer/composer/performer

[@marthalikens482]

One of the best drummers that ever lived!!

[@terryc7142]

The bassist you noticed is Leland Sklar, and he's a legend. He has played bass on over 2000 albums. He's literally one of the very best ever. Oh, and he has a KZbin channel. 🙂

[@meemermarie1977]

Lol he seems to have always looked same

[@melissagerber7231]

When he was younger,he looked like Jesus.

[@suek.1507]

I love your reactions! This was epic. He is the goat! ❤

[@Old_Man001]

That "effect" you hear on his voice is Brad Cole on the "Vocoder." He was 53 years old when he did this concert in Bercy, Paris in 2004. Truly an amazing performance by Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizers, Vocoder), Daryl Stuermer (6 String Guitar), Leland Sklar (Bass Guitar), Chester Thompson ("Rhythm" Drums) and Phil himself (vocals, drums). It was performed in front of 20,000 + people at the "Palais Omnisport de Paris" and truly was, if not the greatest, close to the greatest live performance ever. It was from his "Finally... The First Farewell" Tour and this particular concert in Bercy started with an amazing "Drums, Drums & More Drums" track performed by Phil and his other drummer, the previously mentioned Mr. Thompson. Incidentally, this track ("In the Air Tonight") was the 17th in the tracklist sandwiched between Separate Lives and Dance into the Light. Phil had the energy he had in this song all the way through to the end of the concert (as did his musicians). Now that he can no longer drum, his son NIcholas plays drums almost as well as the old man did--literally--Phil is in his 70's now. His son was on the Domino tour with Genesis recently. Oh and of course, his daughter Lily is rapidly becoming a famous actress in her own right. So, he's still doing alright I suppose (tongue in cheek).

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

I just love the reaction when he sits down and starts on the drum then he blows your mind again. It's orgasmic

[@mom67lovesu]

One of the most sincere reactions I have seen! I keep worrying he won’t make it to the drums on time. Gives me chills. Still gives me goosebumps. Saw him live in Philadelphia!

[@janetburrows137]

Thank You for reviewing our PHIL. 😅😅😅😅😮😮😮

[@suek.1507]

Phil is a legend. Period. ❤

[@steverobey711]

Hi coming England when I growing up I was listening to Genesis and I was listening to Phil Collins after they split up he wrote a lot of awesome songs I am now retired and I will listen to his music while chilling out all the best from a 🌬️ Nottinghamshire England 👍😁

[@janetburrows137]

Again, I’ve said this many, many, times. Our Phil fix in the ERA, singers could actually sing. No special effects, it’s a pure vocalist. 🥹😀😃😅

[@danielnovak4284]

Thanks for the sincere reactions. God bless you both!

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Thanks for watching!🙏

[@szaboandras9843]

The drum sound is called gated reverb, which Phil Collins “invented” by accident during a recording, and influenced the sound of the ‘80s.

[@jackhargrove4275]

You Will Love This in Concert ! Trust Me ! On 🔥💯

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Phil Collins is one of the few that can play drums & sing at the same time! He also plays piano & a few others...lol. I get the chills every time I see this performance! Phil Collins was in the band Genesis but also had his solo career. He is one of three artists.... that have sold over 100 million records with Genesis (band) & his solo albums!

[@michaelgoing6695]

If I ever want to see my wife air drumming in the car, all I have to do is play this awesome song!

[@gemini7101]

He originally played the drums in his first band Genesis..

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

That’s really interesting

[@doksooli]

Not knowing Phil is a drummer. I feel old ... Thanks for your reaction guys ^^

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Loved your reaction! This video is easily in my top 5 of live performances!

[@DeAnne1233]

The audience is (only) clapping in reverence. Phil is conducting the suspense driven show. This is his mid-show break.

[@hoffy1955]

EPIC Performance! 🤯

[@bigua1428]

Phill Collins, he played drums for Genesis Progressive rock band all his life, and he was back vocals too, when Peter Gabriel left the band , Phill take the control and he sang on live and studio performances, playing drumms too, theres always a second drummer on live shows, Chesther Thompson and another great drummer Bill Bruford from Yes progressive rock band. He´s top ten drummer on the 70´s, sharing scene with Carl Palmer (ELP), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Ian Paice ( Deep Purple), Biil Bruford (Yes) , Alan White ( Yes), among other awesome drummers of this golden period of music.

[@christinerobinson9372]

For me, it is a pleasure to see him back on the drums, if only for a few minutes. Phil Collins is ranked among the best drummers in the world. He drummed with Genesis from the late sixties into the seventies. When Peter Gabriel left Genesis to start his solo career, Phil took over singing and continued to make the band more famous than ever. The other drummer you saw tonight is Chester Thompson, who has been the drummer for Phil for many years. Phil is 57 in this performance. He is now 72. He must now walk with a cane and sit through performances due to a fall that injured his spine. Phil's son Nic is now his drummer. I suggest that you follow his career backwards, as you are familiar with his late single work rather than his early band work with Genesis.

Great 👍🏽 Choice…Phil is a LEGEND.i remember listening to this SONG 🙋🏻‍♀️🎼🎶💫🎶🎵🌟when I was 13 years old in my grandparents back yard where I use to sleep. The SONG gave me chills back then…oh NOSTALGIA 🙇🏻‍♀️🫶🏽. I love 💗 this LIVE PERFORMANCE in PARIS. I still admire his chilling effect on anyone who watches him. Happy New Years 🎉 2023’.

[@janetburrows137]

He was actually a drummer before a singer. 😮😮😮😮. You guys need too watch Queen, live at the Live Aid concert. Blow your socks off. 🤷‍♀️❤️🇬🇧🤷‍♀️❤️🇬🇧

[@angiemottershead1394]

You have just experienced The Phil Collins. Enjoy. ❤

[@rk41gator]

That voice effect is from the keyboard player singing through the keyboard with Collins. Reverb also.

[@rk41gator]

Magical. The 'other' voice is from the keys as the keyboard player sings along with him for the effect. The whole concert is dope from Paris 2004 (Bercy Arena). Phil is a drummer first and a singer second if you can believe it. Check out Genesis in the 70s and 80s. Epic. His solo concerts are golden. Leland Sklar plays bass. He played bass with James Taylor and literally hundreds of the best recording ever made. Love how you understand how amazing this production is. The drums come up from below. This is a masterpiece, yes.

[@gtfoxy]

I’m working on something & Ebony’s seemingly pure & honest reaction is what is inspiring it. I will let you know when it’s done.

[@deliacahill3457]

if you are aware of Live Aid Phil played the drums in both Wembley and Philedelphia. He flew on Concorde to get to philly to do their Live Aid concert on the same Day :)

[@janeybreitzman5629]

great reaction

[@shenascooking1]

This is by far the deepest of all his performances.

[@lisaburtchell1527]

I know it’s been awhile. It was all him. No special effects. 80,000 People there. The Drums came up out the riser that’s why the audience started going crazy!

He is EPIC..!!!! He was 57 when he did this concert...He can still pack a house !!! LOVE HIS MUSIC....

[@marthalikens482]

NO CHOIR... JUST PHIL!!

[@rk41gator]

He has some GREAT back up singers (before and after this song) for this concert. Plus a great horn section. The dude knows good music and how to create it.

Já assisti esse vídeo milhares de vezes e todas as vezes choro e fico arrepiada. Não acredito no que vejo. Só tenho uma palavra: PERFEIÇÃO. Neste vídeo ele está no auge da vitalidade. Hoje Phil está muito doente. Temos que homenagea-lo enquanto está aqui agradecendo por tudo que ele é para a música. Saúde ao meu amado Phil.🙏🇧🇷

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@_eclipz_]

Remember this song from the 80's, became a hit in the TV show Miami Vice. Love that show, stilkl watch the whole series once a year lol. He was even in it, lead actor in one episode. It's called Phil the shill if you wanna watch the episode lol. This song was in the pilot of the show, the first episode.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

I recently watched a TV series called The Americans which is about Russian spies living in the US in the 80s. This song was played in the first episode of the first season. It's my favorite Phil Collins song too.

[@rk41gator]

You should see the whole concert. It is great. Paris 2004. Also, check out early Genesis. They are amazing with Peter Gabriel AND Phil Collins. So different from the Genesis you know from the 80s. Check out 'The Musical Box' or 'Cinema Show'.

[@jeanettegavin7349]

He was the drummer for Genesis!

[@jacks9624]

His drums have open bottom end, that is why the sound is a lot brighter. And regarding the timing of his walk, well, he is a drummer first, so... keeping the time and rytham is kind of a second nature to him, right? Great reaction, thanks!

[@blindazabat9527]

Collins joined Genesis in 1971 (1970?) as a drummer after reading an ad in a musci magazine. He plays drums since the age or 4.

[@dej1971]

one of the best drummers of all time and you say "I had no idea he played drums" ???? come on!

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Hah. I only heard/saw "I can't dance" from Genesis when I was a kid and Im pretty sure he wasnt shown playing drums there but rather singing from what I recall. Since I'm not a drummer myself and don't turn around in that circle of people I just don't kniw any drummers by the name. Happy to get some recommendations to listen to. Recently we heard and reacted to Polyphia and drummer there (for my amateur ear) sounded crazy good (just like other artists in that band) 👍🏼

[@marthalikens482]

No drums in the beginning!! Phil's son was on back up drums but no play in beginning. No auto tune, 100% natural talent!! Almost 80,000 in audience that night!!

[@ASaaaxxx]

Nope you have got a little mixed up ….Phil son is not on backing drums this was 2004 …Nick would only have been about 3 year old … that’s Chester on back up drums ….

[@davidcortes4336]

I love your reactions guys, and this one didn't disappoint me either. Phil Collins is one of the greats of music and this On Air Tonight is his workhorse. congratulations a hug and happy to see you again.

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Phils performance here was amazing, this was an Epic concert, we so much enjoyed it .

[@coot1925]

I've been a drummer since I was 8 years old and was in rock bands until i was 52. Singing and playing drums takes a lot of core strength. With both your feet sometimes lifted up at the same time and you're bouncing on your drum stool it puts a lot of pressure on your abdomen which is where the power for your voice comes from. It's so sad that phil is in very poor health and can no longer play drums and has had to sing whilst sitting in a wheelchair. Talent at it's best. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

[@kimberlyr.7712]

Getting old sucks, especially when you continue to be deprived of the things you love doing. I can relate.

[@coot1925]

@@kimberlyr.7712 it most certainly does suck big time. I'm 61 and last year I thought about getting back into skateboarding again as I was pretty good at it once. That thought only lasted a couple of seconds. 😂👍❤🇬🇧

[@daveshomewatch1626]

He played drums in a band before singing

[@MaikLiesegang]

Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece. I think this is his best performance ever. The whole concert was epic. I saw him in Germany and I will never forget the moment when this song started. The whole crowd was waiting for this. He is one of the best drummers in the world. You can check out the beginning of the concert to see his drum skills. He started the show with an epic drum performance. The full concert is available on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHdo41jZsxgbbc The effect on his voice is done by Brad Cole on the keybord with a vocorder (you can see him at 7:25) and the drum sounds at the beginning of the song are produced by a 40-year old Roland TR-808 drumcomputer.

[@kimberlyr.7712]

Me too. But, I can't remember where. It was 1986 or 7.

[@wereleopard58yepihavetwo2]

He also plays the piano. I love 'Against All Odds.' I think it was at live aid, he pressed the wrong key, grinned and continued singing. I mean we all know Queen stole the show.
