To play a wrong note is insignificant To play without passion is inexcusable - Ludwig Van Beethoven

[@xciteful]

Excellent for pointing that out.

[@pastense]

It’s all jazz 😎

[@johnjohnmcclane1818]

Phil Collins played in London earlier that same day, took a helicopter to the airport, flew on the Concorde to New York, then was helicoptered to Philadelphia for this show.

[@orangeandblackattack]

yep. the only artist to play both. The flub is insignificant. The passion is outstanding.

[@PedroBarba1970]

"The mistake doesn't really matter..." but she keeps talking about it.

[@icorezx14r]

A sign of a true professional is acknowledging a mistake and moving right on without missing another beat. An absolute great performer!

[@mikefoster6018]

Even on stage plays etc, showing the audience that you know you made a mistake it often part of the technique.

[@jjsifo1]

Exactly !

[@starhope9630]

The way he tripped and just kept pushing forward - makes me appreciate Phil Collins and this performance even more!😊

[@davidmole8299]

I don't think anyone cared in the moment

[@antidem82]

That's how talented he is. He's not a piano player he's a drummer. Great talent.

But, like a pro…he smiles, and moves on unbothered.

[@estoy1001]

"Oh well, f'd up in front of a couple billion folks, keep going..."

[@xellestar]

to be fair he's a multi instrumentalist, not a dedicated pianist, as well as singing at the same time - can't deny the talent!

[@TanyaRando]

It's just another way he's awesome, it shows he is definitely live.

[@blackbob3358]

Beautiful, hokiekokie ? It's a cry for help. Do'nt think he's over it, now.. Hope i'm wrong.

[@jeffreysummers5397]

Hi Biss, great choice today. I believe after he played in England, he got on a Concorde jet and flew to the U.S. to perform Live Aid in America a few hours later.

[@19samson84]

Thats right..

[@rk41gator]

He has gotten a lot of unfair shit about doing that. He was supposed to be joined by others but the bands pulled out and he was the only one. It was NOT a publicity stunt.

[@19samson84]

@Bisscute

[@Neil_BT]

Back in the days where you could fly across a whole ocean and arrive before you took off - faster than a speeding planet.

[@MarkCucchiara]

He played with Led Zeppelin in the UK then flew to the US to perform on the same day.

[@RolandDeschain1]

One of the best songs of the 80s. A perfect pop ballad. If I ever wrote a song this good I'd retire.

[@ipezmusic]

Live Aid concert is history. He knew it. He was nervous, of course. Then he made a mistake but he didn't overreact. Please note he then changed his gear and sung even better! It was live, without prerecorded stuff or tricks.

[@solzimer]

It was a mistake, he shook his head and smiled after it. After his performance in Wembley Phil Collins took a french Concorde flew to Philadelphia to perform there too. Live Aid was in Wembley and in Philadelphia.

[@MrEddiethedog]

Dont think it was a mistake, I think that key on the piano was out of tune!!!

[@znk0r]

@@MrEddiethedog this is clearly him hitting the note next to the intended one. I dont know why you would assume the pianano was out of tune. The note sounds perfectly clear the next time he hits it.

[@MrEddiethedog]

Disagree@@znk0r

[@znk0r]

@@MrEddiethedog if you don't mind. Please explain how the piano was out of tune there but not anymore in the next few passages he played the notes ex: 3:53 ? Also we clearly hear two notes play at nraly exactly the same time exactly like it would if you hit accidentally hit a black key while hitting the white key next to it.

[@MrEddiethedog]

So this is all in good fun and opinion, not trying to start a spat. That said I think the smile after the bad key or note was him not believing that the piano was out of tune or had a dead key. No one is perfect and he could have played a bad note, but that's not what it sounded like to me. Also, it sounded like he played around that key for the rest of the song. That is as likely what happened, as him playing a bad note, which Phil Collins does not do much.@@znk0r

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

That whole concert was a fever dream in the best possible way lol

[@zeer0squared]

I remember this day from start to finish. I actively watched it all day on MTV from early morning (in the U.S.) until that evening and loved every minute of it. Yes, there were many a slip-up from different bands - that's what you get sometimes when performing live. Not every member can hit/sing every note perfectly...but it's fine! It's live music with energy...and that crowd was giving it back big time. And, as mentioned below, Phil Collins did play in London first and then flew in a Concorde to the U.S. to play on their stage that evening. It was awesome to see. I'll never forget it.

[@bobsmith9936]

Same, watched city all, best 20 hres or so of live music i ever saw 👍👍

[@mikeherrmann5360]

yea he's lucky he didn't fall asleep mid song. that was a big day for him. I waited all day to hear Led Zep. get back together . the MTV wasn't synked up with the radio. so I just blasted the radio..... great day

[@JBeck33]

Don’t want to sound like a cliche. But, that was back when MTV actually mattered. I was there watching with ya.

[@Silencio.Encerrado]

For those who have never heard it, you need to know the studio version. One of the few that really delivers a lot performing live.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Agreed. I LOVED that song, long before Mariah ever thought to cover it. I am a creature of habit so I actually did not like Mariah's cover to begin with, no matter how amazing she is. Her cover grew on me later, but nothing like the original. Phil is AWESOME. :)

[@blackbob3358]

Moreover, ya need to know the reason behind the song. A rum buisness, altogether.

[@urielgonzalez1973]

Phill Collins - another day in paradise Gooood song ❤

[@camerontroutman1605]

Phil Collins is one of those greatest talented singers that I can never stop listening to one of his legendary bops! Disney’s Tarzan introduced me to him because of “You’ll Be In My Heart”, “Two Worlds” & so much more! Best nonstop repeating songs there is🎧💯

[@simonfrederiksen104]

"Mama" from phil collins was an insane performance

[@rondickinson8741]

Good God that was just unbelievable performance by Phil wow I'm glad we got to see that together I'm glad that you can react the same way I am I'm 59 years old and that put a tear in my eye

[@jeremysanderson9673]

I love watching the emotion in your face in songs like this. You really have a beautiful soul. Just adorable.

[@bobbyc3895]

This song was the soundtrack from a movie with the same name - Against All Odds. The official video featured scenes from that movie, and I remember it mostly because I was in love with the lead actress, Rachel Ward.

It's what I love about an amazing band live. You feel all the emotion...mistakes and all. No mistakes on the radio.....So, yeah...Phil Collins is truly amazing. One of the best song writers and musicians of our lifetime.

[@chuckragland9972]

The amazing thing about Phil Collins and this Live Aid concert. Is the one part was in England, and the other part was in America. And as a special thing, after Phil performed live in England, he hopped on a Concorde supersonic jet that were still flying at the time, and then performed live in America only a couple hours later.

[@dagmar.6954]

Phil Collins is best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis in the 70's & later for his solo career. He has had so many great hits such as "Another Day In Paradise", "I Don't Care Anymore", "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.

I love little moments like that, and it's so great because it shows what a pure consummate PRO Phil is because he just gives a rueful litle grin and carries on like it never happened. That takes such incrdible guts to pull off and I admire this man SO MUCH.

[@bigua1428]

bisscute , Yes it was a little mistake on keyboard, i explain : Phill Collins was a drummer, one of the best, he played on a band call GENESIS, performing drums ans second voice, when the lead voice (Peter Gabriel), left the band he begun to sing all songs, on live shows there was another drummer ( Chester Thompson), (Bill Bruford), and he plays drums too and sang all songs.

[@thatguyinthechat66]

You have to do 'Take Me Home' by Phil Collins. The live version from his Farewell tour I think is the best one :)

[@chefskiss6179]

[@Hector-cn3rv]

One of the best performers of ALL times

[@JamesBach-hz1pc]

AGREED

[@RockDocNeal]

Yes, that was a brief piano mistake near the beginning. As a keyboardist for decades, that would be my worst nightmare during a solo performance, but he made a great recovery and I love the smirk on his face right after he did it. 😁 Also...great song.

[@mrtveye6682]

When I played drums, I lost or broke a stick more then once at the worst possible moments during a song. I learned the hard way, best thing you can do if you have a little hick-up like that, don't try to pretend it didn't happen and than bother about if you "got away with it" for the next minutes. That only distracts and you probably make more mistakes. Just own it, and smile it away. It happens to the best.

[@mikgus]

With an audience of 1,9 billion people

[@pastense]

Musician professionality doesn’t allow time to acknowledge mistakes. He still acknowledged it shown in his face, but immediately the “show must go on!”

[@leewafer6583]

Yep if you watch it closely, you can see him smirk, at the part where he messes up, such a great song, by a great artist, the movie was good as well.

[@herrzimm]

1) Yep, that was a "note mistake".... which obviously everyone ignored. 2) Phil Collin's "stage presence" has always been kind of "vanilla" in presentation.... but his LIST OF SONGS are among the best. 3) The fact that his "Live vocals" and "Studio vocals" were SO CLOSE makes any video with Phil (Live/Studio) worth listening to. 4) For nearly 20 years, this man was considered one of the BEST song-writers on the planet. Which is obvious by the number of times his songs topped the charts in both his solo career and time in Genesis. 5) While Phil's talent singing, on the drums and piano are undeniable... do NOT overlook the fact that his "band" were extremely talented as well..... touring with him for nearly 40 years.

[@smavtmb2196]

Phil has such an emotionally moving and iconic voice.

[@jaygonzales7198]

yup! he sure did hit an extra key and that mistake shows on his face a small oooppps great song outstanding artis

[@scottnever8732]

bear in mind this man performed twice at this concert. He travelled across the atlantic ocean to be in America later that day and performed live

[@sonicart1808]

The piano isn't Phil's first instrument, it's the drums, so getting in front of that many people for an impromptu concert and performing on that level is pretty miraculous, also Solo performances are so unforgiving if you make any mistakes, it sticks out like a sore thumb as they say!

In front of the world this guy is playing piano and singing without any back-up. Amazing. He explains his 'mistake' (good ear) in an interview (hot day, sweating). He never makes mistakes but you can see his cute, wry grin when he did. That is Sting sitting on the stage, btw. Phil Collins is a unique talent. Very authentic. Check out his acting in Phil the Shill from Miami Vice (free on Tubi TV with adverts). Check out more early Genesis you will be surprised at how they can ROCK. They have a great live video concert from 1980 at London's Lyceum Theatre. Phil is manic. Also, their live concert at Wembley Stadium is wonderful. ABACAB ROCKS.

[@Vinylrebel72]

In the 80s, there was a song, for USA for Africa, had a lot of the famous singers from all of music, except Metal…the metal bands put one together called “Were stars”…it had Dio, Queensryche, Quiet Riot, a lot of 80s metal bands. But they werent concerts, just a song they all did.

[@31carrier]

This is a good song thanks I enjoyed this video This song is in the movie with the same name worth watching

[@bluemoon9868]

Yes, I liked "Against All Odds" . You should remember that it's a live performance. Most singers don't need to perform as precisely as they do in a studio during live concerts. People attend live concerts mostly for fun. When singers and bands make records in the studio, they always focus and give their best performance, often requiring multiple editing sessions to make the song perfect. My taste in music is not like that of most Americans. I enjoy songs with beautiful melodies and romantic themes. I'd like to recommend that you react to another one of Phil's songs, "Do You Remember?" In my opinion, it's a pretty good song and one of my favorite Phil Collins songs.

[@ledzeproberts2111]

It was amazing, never to be repeated for sure. And your amazing too x

I choose not to focus on the one note out of place but to celebrate the tens of thousands that were as intended.

2 things- 1) he was the only artist to play both live aid locations. Wembly stadium and then jumped on the Concord and play in the US. 2) when this song first came out, the love of my life had just left me. This song still slams me on the floor. I love your reactions. Please don't stop.
