This was like nothing I have ever seen! DON'T FORGET!! We are Live on TWITCH tonight at 9pm BST (UK Time) see you all there!! www.twitch.tv/gotgames_tb?sr=a ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣

[@FilthyFrankenjoyer]

Every time you feel depressed or just having a bad day, this song hits you like a beam of light falling from the sky on a dark and rainy day. It's like taking a long hot shower after work, definitely my favorite hit of all time along with Toto - Africa

[@kevinzebroski]

I have trouble listening to the studio version now, it just doesn’t have the same energy because it is in a sterile studio and there’s no crowd! Thanks for reacting to this one!

[@rodl.miller3353]

You need to check out Gretchen Wilson fronting the rock band Alice In Chains performing live Barracuda (Heart). It truly is a must see. As always, stay happy healthy and safe. Enjoy

No matter your personal taste in music. I think everybody has to acknowledge, that this is one of the best live performances of one of the best songs of all time. Period.

This is why Phil Collins is 1 of only three Music Artist to sell over 100 million albums as a member of a group & as a solo artist. Phil with Genesis, MJ & Jackson5, & Paul McCarthny & the Beatles

[@CJBW]

Beside the word COOL in the dictionary is a pic of Phil Collins just strolling across a stage, singing calmly and holding thousands of people in the palm of his hand- while they’re all holding their breath. Beside the word ELECTRICITY is him walking up the stairs & then a spot hits the drum kit… and EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!! Icon. Legendary.

[@michelleponzio]

What amazes me about this performance is that Phil has everything timed PERFECTLY. He doesn't rush. He knows exactly how fast he needs to walk from one set of stairs to the other in order to get to his drums at just the right time. Gives me chills every time I see this. And the intense look on his face as he sings the lyrics. You can literally feel the anger and pain he felt when he wrote this.

[@mandamorris7934]

I'm a verrrry old g-ma... And I've known this song forever... Was my late husbands favorite... At the moment of that drum drop... he'd crank up the volume... Well... Yes we did crack a few windows in our day... RIP Jimy mine... This one I listened to for you! Thanks for sharing kiddo... it was only my 100 millionth time but I rocked my ass off! Sending best wishes to Mr. Collins and pray for his health.

[@murrannlehovitch6204]

Not to mention the look of awe on your face during his drum goodies!!!!!!!!

[@vandergrad]

"How many people could you trick with this song?" --- I've watched a lot of reactors do this video without knowing the song at all and yes, their surprised Pikachu face when he rips into that drum kit is priceless every single time!

Phil Collins was the only artist to play Live Aid in London then fly to America and play live Aid there on same day

[@debbieaguilar5486]

I remember watching Live Aid on TV it was a fab concert, still have it on vhs lol😅

[@jdice6868]

I've been mentioning the same thing. He played with Sting in the UK and all the pianos were out of tune when he got to Philly, but he rocked Against All Odds anyway. Then he joined Led Zeppelin on the drums if I remember correctly. The other thing I keep saying is that he should be Sir Phil Collins already. C'mon King Charles!

[@sandralybrand9425]

I watched that! He's an amazing musician and Man! ❤

No way you can't play air drums with Phil when he does his solo.....im old enough to remember Miami Vice and that song playing while they drove the streets at night.....😉

[@Erfedwe]

I was already a huge Genesis fan in the late 70's and early 80's when Phil started his solo career. I still remember when Face Value came out. Everyone was blown away by this song. There was a period of time in the 80's when Phil was releasing solo albums and Genesis albums and they were both blowing up the charts. Add that Peter Gabriel was also blowing up with Sledgehammer during that time. It was a great time to be a Genesis/Gabriel/Collins fan!

[@maryannerazzano7692]

Yes!! Genesis 👍💜

[@scottpurcell8833]

Dude, the songs in those days were amazing. So many new styles that were invented back then that are used to this day. Yes they were on the back bones of previous stuff but adapted and refined. I miss it.

Mike Rutherford was putting out some gems with Mike and the Mechanics too. Those mid 80s tunes were incredible.

Yeppers! ❤️

[@jeffreyfortuna3122]

The first concert I went to was Genesis Mama. Got to meet Phil back stage a couple years latter. I still have the photo. No one was better live than Genesis. So fortunate I was able to grow up with this awesome music.

[@rk41gator]

This performance IS the best of all time.

[@Shadean207]

I worked in an arena where he performed on tour some years ago. As I walked through the downstairs areas, just past the door to the inside, I heard the solo. Instant goosebumps just from the raw emotion flooding out of the arena. Everyone was cheering, it was actually insane.

[@GOTGames]

That sounds like such an awesome experience!

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

I would listen to Phil Collins for a thousand years if I could.

[@imfirehawk72]

Watching people react to this concert that don’t know Phil Collin’s is my new favorite thing in life. They always explode and they always say “I didn’t know he was a drummer”. No dear sweet child Phil Collin’s is THE drummer.

You aren't crazy. Iconic song, great performer and singer and EPIC live performance. Loved your reaction! I saw this live. Truly amazing! The whole concert!

Excellent reaction I absolutely can NOT imagine actually being there that night watching such an epic iconic performance of one of the most amazing songs by a master ❤

[@darsynia]

I feel exactly the way you've said you feel, 100%!! I love how he wanders around and he gets up to where the drumkit is visible and everyone LOSES THEIR MINDS in excitement.

[@rk41gator]

Had to come back to this; your iconic review. The emotion Phil can create is incredible. (watch as he walks off the stage and casually bows his little bow is epic) The audience erupts! the unison clapping is awesome. But Collins attention to detail and holding to the original music while bringing an even greater intensity is mind blowing. I saw him with Genesis in1978 and his charisma grabbed me and did not let go. His drum duet with Chester was other worldly. I was completely unprepared for his presence on stage and I feel fortunate to have witnessed it. Best concert of my life.

[@kellysimmons8437]

I saw Phil in concert in the 90's at the prime of his solo career. It's the only concert I've ever been to where the lighting guys in the rafters were DANCING up above the stage... very cool!

Phil is my favorite singer and he is awesome in his concerts...my friends took me for my birthday!! I love all his songs! I really enjoyed watching you loving this song!

[@ajruther67]

To see this performance is emotional in many ways. It is a phenomenal performance. The fact that Phil can't perform anymore because of all the years he played drums affected his back and spine causing severe pain to the point he can barely stand. It breaks my heart. Phil Collins will always be one of my favorite performers in music.

For me, this Paris performance is the ultimate. Leland Sklar doing his magic, Chester excellent as ever. Phil of course is brilliant. Darryl's brilliant too. Thanks for doing this. There's a lot to say about this. The steely gaze the timing of that walk to meet the drums rising out of the stage. The vocals when he's drumming. There's a lot of effort going into that yet he keeps a completely even tone. Magical. Phils ability to replicate the studio sound almost matches Nightwish (who go even further and outdo the recorded versions).

I was 5 months pregnant. I love to tell my now 30+ year old baby how this was her first concert. Was the most exciting concert experience I've ever had.

If you want to see the best use of this song, look up “ Miami Vice “ ( a show from the 80’s). look up the clip with this song in it, chilling. Not to spoil it but the premise of the clip is they are going on a call and are sure they are gonna die. So now knowing that will make it more meaningful.

He is a hugely underrated drummer. His drum parts during the height of the Genesis Prog Rock days are intensely complex and sophisticated. PS: Willie Nelson didn’t perform at Woodstock (1969). He was there at the reboot in (1999 - Saugertes, NY)
