He has had so many great hits such as "Another Day In Paradise", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Against All Odds", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Take Me Home", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind Of Love", "I Wish It Would Rain Down", "You Can't Hurry Love" etc.

Phil is a friggin legend. Everyone has heard this song whether they know it or not. Us old heads heard it in Miami Vice. The young folks heard it in the movie Hangover as Mike Tyson sings it. I actually got to see filler in Oklahoma City on this very tour in 2004. It’s the greatest drum drop in rock history.

@@juliemanarin4127 I hope it didn't effect his 'liver." Apparently....not

[@ianfortier6796]

@juliemanarin4127 - if you're referring to Phil taking over in Genesis, Peter finished the Lamb tour before leaving the band. It was all planned beforehand and not in the spur of the moment. The thing is they auditioned a bunch of different singers before they talked Phil into giving it a go. He sounded like Peter while still being distinct so they ran with it.

[@bonnielee78]

I watch every reaction of this performance. The ambience is electric and it is a journey. I get goosebumps every darn time and I have seen it thousands of times lol. This live performance is one of my all time faves and definitely the best version of this song IMO. 'Against all odds' is another of his songs that is a must and the original recorded version is the most angsty and passionate version. He has so many great songs and his music videos are usually very fun and often shows his sense of humor eg: 'I can't dance' by Genesis (the band he was in); 'Can't hurry love' is such a great song and super fun music vid. 'Another day in paradise' is beautiful, sad and heartbreaking. There are so many more as others have mentioned. Phil is a legend and his songs are an amazing rabbit-hole to fall down :).

I've just watched this over and over again on reaction videos which I love, and I have to say your video was hands down the best. When you see Phil Collins perform he fills your spirit until it feels like you are going to explode. The guy in the audience showed it perfectly.

[@kathyjaissle6791]

This live version is EPIC! One of the best live performances

[@kimcutts6153]

And that is why this is probably the most iconic performance by any artist ever. Also, this was "live", no lipsyncing here. Phil has tons of hits from his time at the beginning of his career when he was in the group "Genesis", then going solo. The Genesis drummer-turned-vocalist was almost 30 years old when his first solo single, "In the Air Tonight," became a number two hit in his native U.K. (the song was a Top 20 hit in the U.S.). Between 1984 and 1990, Collins had a string of 13 straight U.S. Top Ten hits. ❤🇬🇧🎶🎼🎙🥁

Phil wrote and performed this song right after he got divorced. He was on a vendetta tour I believe.

[@TheRepublican777]

He jusy retired from live performances at 72 or 73 years old and he still sounded good

[@michaelbriefs9764]

I remember seeing Phil Collins on the "Hello, I Must Be Going" tour, 1983. I saw him at the Warner Theater, in Washington D.C. and it was an unbelievable concert! They did all the hits and deep cuts from his first two albums and they even did some of Phil's Brand X music (progressive Fusion Jazz/Rock, from the 1970's and 80's)!! I had been a fan of Genesis for about 8 years at that point, and I had seen Genesis several times also, but that Solo Phil concert was one I will never forget. Oh, and one more thing: I saw Peter Gabriel in concert later in the same month, at the same theater, on his "Security" tour (w "Shock the Monkey" single). You cannot imagine how awesome that was to see BOTH of those Genesis alumni GREATS in concert, in the same 2 or 3 week period!

[@nellieknifton]

Have to agree… first saw Genesis when I was thirteen in 1978/79. It is great watching a new generation discovering what I call ‘real musicians’. Trick of the Tail was the first album I bought with my pocket money, second was Farewell to Kings by Rush and still have them on vinyl bought in the seventies and played regularly. Truly showing my age lol

[@nellyt2807]

30 odd years ago got to see Phil for the first time what a night have never forgot that night seeing him surrounded by his huge drum kit.

[@matteoedwardes2876]

So many Phil and Genesis songs! Mama, I wish it would rain down, Man on the corner, Home by the sea, Misunderstanding, and Easy lover are just a few of my favs.

[@ianfortier6796]

Great reaction, man! Love how genuine you are with these. I'm sure others have already commented a lot of this but Phil's one of the all time greats in the music world. Started off as the drummer for Genesis in 1971, taking over lead vocals as well in 1976. He's one of the greatest prog rock drummers ever. He has a thousand hits with Genesis and a thousand hits as a solo artist. You couldn't watch TV or turn on a radio in the 80s without hearing Phil's voice somewhere. You really should do a deep dive into both his solo career and his career with Genesis. Some highlights for me are, as a solo artist, In the Air Tonight (I would give the live version from No Ticket Required a watch, it's my favorite live version), I Don't Care Anymore, Thru These Walls, The Roof Is Leaking, Take Me Home, Don't Lose My Number, Against All Odds, Something Happened On the Way To Heaven, Another Day In Paradise, and I Wish It Would Rain Down, just to name a few. With Genesis, Mama, Home By the Sea/Second Home By the Sea, Dodo/Lurker, Abacab, Afterglow, Dance On A Volcano, Duchess, Turn It On Again, Tonight Tonight Tonight, Land Of Confusion, No Son Of Mine, Dreaming While You Sleep, just to get you started. There's also a wealth of instrumentals to listen to where he tears apart the drum kit. Keep them coming, man. Love your channel!

[@mikemicrael5749]

Phil Collins is my favorite drummer and an icon in the world of progressive rock. I highly recommend "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis with Peter Gabriel singing and Phil on drums from 1973. Superstars didn't get much bigger than Phil was during the '80s and early '90s. He saturated all media and got some bad publicity for a while, but he is a true talent and one of rock's nice guys. I recommend also his video of "Another Day in Paradise." Thanks!

[@bettyrose959]

There's two great drummers on that stage, has been dating back to the 80's. Chester Thompson. He was just below Phil and only glimpses of him. It's amazing watching them together. If you look at the stage in the video, Phil's actual drum set is set up next to Thompson's. That was the first song in that show. They didn't even get to them two battle each other. It's amazing to watch. I recommend Dance on a Volcano/Drum Duet/Los endos-Genesis live at the lyceumm if you really want to see what those two are capable of together.
