yeah man fuck technology for giving us the opportunity to watch back this moment in music history 40 years later!

[@PietroMaira80sAreAwesome]

@@mobueh didnt say fuck technology. the tech was not there 40 years ago. and were still able to watch it now arent we.. so stands to reason that 40 years from now, i dont think we need 20k cell phone video with bad audio to relive this moment

[@fnkyboi6912]

Ok boomer

[@DrewZepp]

Bruh it was the 1980’s of course nobody had phones with video capabilities

[@natev1956]

Phils a master of drums, piano, singing, etc ...Why aren't there songs like this anymore? Why does modern music seem to suck and not move me anymore?

[@giln4689]

cause the richer the labels get, the shittier they get. rich ass music executives only want the most engineered and constructed pop songs nowadays that you've hear 1000 times cause they think, since its what sells the most, that it is the best music. music execs think with their wallets, music lovers listen with their hearts.

[@mchlbk]

The music you listen to between the age of 14 and 30 will be 'the best music' for the rest of your life. That's just how we're wired. Every generation has its heroes.

[@titansrule72]

one of the most gifted musicians of our time or any time.

[@ecardullo10]

He bumped into Cher on his flight to Philly and she asked where he was going. Phil told her about Live Aid and Cher eventually showed up to sing the final number of the Philly concert with everyone.

[@JimLaughlan]

Wouldn't it be special if Phil and Cher did "I Got You Babe" together??😃

[@Kevinjohnson-tg6be]

The 80s were the best,best music,best people,just fun times,this world sucks now,trump 2024

[@Orion3741]

Collins' feat of performing at 2 concerts in less than 24 hours was indeed a "Concorde" moment.

[@natevm7888]

Man,,, wihen that voice kicks in you just know that is so distinct,,our childhood/teens,, I still miss when those drums kick in😂😂

[@makingmylifebetter]

One of the best performers and singers of the 80’s to today! For a crowd like that it took balls to not do anything but piano on a song that has an amazing arrangement with the other instruments…..and he did it perfectly! Gave people a performance they would never forget. Given us music we will never forget throughout his career.

[@RolfClausnitzer]

Phil definitely did his part in 1985. What a super star 😊

[@budweiserthedog4449]

I was there Live Aid in England ❤️

[@PaulBarwick]

I was there! Won a pair of tickets from a San Francisco radio station, paid for the tickets, the airfare and put us up in a hotel where a lot of the acts were staying. What a weekend! It was hot though. The crowd cheered the fire department when they set up their hoses and sprayed us down.

[@Simonjblake]

This was the 80’s. Special time.

[@cefore.xplosives]

This performance is legendary!!!

[@JeremyThompson1978]

I was 7-years-old watching this happen. I still remember seeing him going from the UK to USA by Concorde and performing for Live Aid in both places.

[@kaemlice]

the one and only ,I was 15 years old I could'n believe it watching on TV all my favorites history was made that weekend

[@o.portista]

In The Air Tonight - Once Again, One of Phil's Collins most known, Legendary hits that he had ever made in his career and in the history of music. He entered his solo carreer in the best way possible with this hit, and still to this day, it has it's effects, and goes well. This has to be the crown to Phil's work and tracks, a masterpiece, and you literally can't be a Phil Collins Fan, or a Rock N Roll fan, without knowing or liking this hit. The lyrics, and instrumental plus emotion in this track can't be matched, heard and used around the world in movies, games, shows and dominating the radio. All the best Phil, A True One of a kind. Legendary!

[@gnewsman]

Without a doubt, he should be in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, but that's another story.

[@reyponce2210]

It was awesome to be around when this happened. Great era.

[@markthackray1512]

live Aid was part of my school life and I remember the day to this date, it was epic and it wont ever be repeated EVER

[@Gambit22003]

Phil absolutely OWNED the entire 80's Decade!!!

[@guitarvixen7255]

Phil does and always will hit me in my soul and heart One of the best singers on earth

[@josevega3552]

It's great how Phil makes this song in piano solo... a wonderful melody that makes the audience go crazy...🤘🤘🤘

[@thelegendinhisownmind7038]

Phil Collins is the frickin man! Earlier in the day, he performed at Live Aid, Wembly Stadium; then immediately hopped on a Concorde jet afterwards, flew across the Atlantic, and made it in time to perform at Live Aid, JFK Stadium later in the day. He also was the guest drummer for Led Zepplin's reunion set that evening, (though their set was easily the worst performance of the day, but still) and if he couldn't be any more impressive, while on that Concorde jet, he ran into Cher, who had no idea about Live Aid; and he actually convinced her to come and perform as well!

[@janazaki1063]

Yeah hes' a Superior rocker, Musician, knew that the Live Aide Audience in Philadelphia would be a great time in Live Performance Music Making History for years to come ! And that Philly Rocks ! ( was my home town) I will look for Cher video on Live Aide Concerts , I must o missed her...

[@thelegendinhisownmind7038]

@@janazaki1063 Well, because Cher didn't even know about Live Aid, which Collins couldn't believe, she didn't have anything prepared, or a backing band to play with. She sang with the other celebrities during "We are the world".

[@harrygoodchild4563]

Led zeppelin at live aid was strange although they are one of the best rock bands of all time robert plant sounded just off idk why he just did

[@thelegendinhisownmind7038]

@@harrygoodchild4563 Plant sounded off key, Page was badly out of tune, and losing a one-on-one fight with an upright mic stand....The only one who actually played well was John Paul Jones, but then again I don't think he ever played a single note out of key during his entire time with Zepplin. This is what happens when you decide to reunite for a wonderful cause, but choose to wing it, instead of practicing, after spending around 5 years having not played a single show together. Plant and Page being pissed drunk didn't help matters either. This just goes to show, even legends need to rehearse after a lengthy time apart if they want to put on a good show, as opposed to being a drunken embarrassment.

[@willon50]

last 50 seconds are so freaking incredible! that makes the difference between a standard celebrity and a legend...

[@HotFish]

This makes my skin tingle. I think the song is intensified by the tension of waiting for the drums to hit, even though they never do. Still so perfect

[@peternewby417]

Love the way Phil collins has kept his London accent ,innit 👍😀

[@dana09077]

Everybody's been talking about Freddie Mercury's performance was one of the best live performances of all time. I don't undermine that but I'm for Phil Collins all the way. And the fact that he played for two continents in one day plus that fight with Led Zeppelin haha nobody could top that!

[@kaypee1972]

There was a time where I got fed up by listening to Phil Collins, as he was on every station and the music got quite simple radio stuff. But after some years have past I am starting to appreciate what he has done and the great music which will live on forever. Mr Collins, thank you!

[@billielachatte4841]

He even admitted to contributing to it during his 90s reign and kind of apologized. 😅

[@MrJones-918]

Such an amazing day to have witnessed on MTV live and local radio audio. Epic day when the world seemed to come together for the ghastly images of Ethiopia. Those who have so much …. This event, as Joan said was ‘our Woodstock’. Wonderful moment in time that brought together great artists. Remember Tina an Mick? Stones an Dylan? Dylan an McCartney? It was just a real wow day for music fans. Petty, Bowie an so many others gone now. After Phil did this, he and Barrie sat in for John Henry Bonham for what was effectively ‘Led Zeppelin’. LZ sunset Stairway? Good times to be alive when it wasn’t ‘classic rock’ yet

[@MrJones-918]

How could I ever forget🎶

[@mamaveros]

👑👑👏👏👊 who else was playing air drums?! Legend the only King in history to play in both countries on the same day for the same cause! Love him! 💖💖 Definitely dedication at its finest!! On same stage as Freddie Mercury , Sting, Bono and various legends!
