Phil Collins In The Air Tonight Live - Reaction

[@dcrebel8316]

This song is timeless! My kids, grandkids, and a couple of my great grandkids are very familiar with it.

[@sheag6200]

I have to say I've watched so many people react to this live version and by far you are my favorite you watched it you didn't constantly interrupted and you did not interrupt it at the drums (second time)... and you didn't Babble and talk all thread I think you did a really good job reacting

[@rachelmckitterick]

Ditto!!

[@kriashun]

Omg yes! 🙄😅😉

[@lmoein]

He blatantly paused it within seconds of the drum solo starting! Did you watch something different to me?

[@phyl1042]

​@lmoein he did say second time, and then restarted before the drums and let Phil go on.

[@glendacrosbywilkins4246]

He was 57 when he did this concert.................He can still pack the house.!!!!!!!............Im 62 & I grew up loving his music..........He is an EPIC !!!!!!!!!

[@spectrelead]

I had the privelege of watching this man in concert in April 1997, in Champaign, IL. Yes, that drum drop gets you every. single. time.

[@michaelmann2463]

Phill Collins is a world class drummer . He was the drummer for Genesis. When their singer Peter Gabriel left they couldn't find a better singer so Phil just took over vocals

[@flash218ily]

"Did y'all see how smooth he just stepped on the drums and came in on beat like that....WOW!?"....We all saw it as your eyeballs nearly popped out of your head!

Fabulous phil🎉

[@berniceporter9989]

The moment he sits down and starts drumming is unbelievable

[@Prozak63]

The brother also playing a drum kit is the great Chester Thompson who had been with Phil, Genesis and Santana over the years. A joint named "Phil Collins and Chester Thompson Drum Duet" is pretty badass.

[@iamred1092]

Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis before he went solo....he's a legend!

[@CosmoCosmo123]

Great reaction. 👍 Your expression was pure and honest. ❤️ My new hobby on KZbin is watching reactions to this video.

Phil Collins doesn't need a band of twerking teens to keep your attention during a concert.

He was the a drummer in the 80s for the band Genesis and also sang some. He's super talented.

[@jennhurl]

Phil is such a fantastic drummer! Phil has said he is a drummer that can sing. That's bad ass. 🔥

[@Whateva67]

Phil,along with Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney are the only 3 musicians to sell over 100 million albums while with a band and solo,pretty damn impressive 😎

[@teresacavazos8201]

A true musician, writer, performer...timeless!!

He was one of the most iconic drummer's in his day

[@jessiemyrle4907]

Truly GOAT. As an old lady I just learned what GOAT was and it really applies to this guy!!! ❤️👏❤️👏

Check out 'ABACAB' with Genesis at the Wembley concert 1987 for some incredible Collins drumming and Mike Rutherford guitar solos. AMAZING performance that ROCKS!

[@jaynerandle7560]

Legendary drummer to boot.

[@oliviavillarreal9433]

Legend! Phil Collins is the GOAT! All of his music is great! Amazing artist, vocalist & musician (drums/piano)! Simply amazing Performance!

Just hearing each instrument in the beginning was awesome. & Your facials were classic....

[@alfamily586]

Phil is one of the greatest drummers ever!

[@fvgc454ss]

Hes always played drums, he became the singer when Peter Gabriel left Genesis. Still played drums on alot of tracks

[@jennibair5298]

Phil plays drums. Guitar. Sax.

[@jeanharris2408]

He is considered to be one of the top rock drummers of all time.

[@V12BenzAMG]

I saw this same performance live in Florida on his "First Final Farewell Tour"...simply AMAZING in person...the whole show was fantastic!!!! He ran around stage without seeming to get tired at all...and actually SANG (not synced like many current stars) and he sounds exactly like his albums in person....this is a legend for sure :) *if you aren't doing the drums/singing with him by the end, there's something wrong with you hahaha

[@Isleofskye]

You are SORRY you did not Pause ??????? That was a GREAT REACTION! Apart from Copyright issues 95% + of your viewers do NOT want you to break up the flow, continuity, and momentum of this epic performance but do EXACTLY what you did which is visually reacts during the song with the one necessary Pause and AFTER give your considered thought. You also did not waiver during the intro and got the Crowd's reaction, as well so EXCELLENT, My Friend! "Comfortably Numb" the LIVE PULSE version by Pink Floyd will blow your mind with the accompanying Light show as long as you promise only one pause :)

[@emid5726]

I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for not stopping every 2 seconds to interrupt the greatness of Phil Collins and show respect for his music. I can tell you truly enjoyed his performance and I enjoyed watching you react to it. BTW, I subscribed to your channel! Suggestion to react - Mama by Genesis, please.

[@scorpiewhichypants9377]

I'm one of the lucky million or so to see him perform this live on his Farewell tour. I not only heard it with my ears, I FELT it rise from the soles of my feet and blasted into my head. Concerts in my days were always wall to wall people. I saw many groups starting back in the 70's and still going to some today. Life today, in the music world can't even compare to what we've experienced long before you were even a twinkle in your parents eyes.

[@khaalis9385]

Scorpie, you speak the truth! Back in the day, concerts ruled the earth! I’ve seen most of all the greats- Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Peter Frampton, The Bee Gees, AeroSmith, Sly &The Family Stone, Grand Funk Railroad, The Isley Brothers, Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass, and the ultimate concert - my oldest brother took me with him and snuck me into WOODSTOCK! Lawd Have Mercy! We might be old, but we had the best music!

[@michaelmills7344]

You might wan to listen to Take Me Home from the same tour. Transitions from the trap set to Congas and it’s epic.

[@babyfry4775]

Great reaction! Yeah Phil was a drummer for Genesis. Sadly, he can’t drum anymore due to health problems but he was one of the best and this song is epic! One of the greatest drum solos ever. I find myself drumming along with him.

[@sherrysink3177]

I love when he sits down to play the drums. Really makes you sit up and take notice! It's SO good. :)

[@mdroberg]

That was the best facial reaction I’ve ever seen to the drum solo!

[@carolcraft5842]

He plays everything!

[@gfinnstrom]

as Phil comes down the steps he touches his heal to each step to make sure he doesn't fall because of the lighting most dont catch it he once said i am a drummer that sings

[@nycot107]

Phil is one of the best drummers in the world ever, but sadly he can no longer play them because the joints in his wrists aren't strong enough. His son plays, drums, too, and he's also pretty good.

[@Isleofskye]

I saw Phil's old Group=Genesis' first-ever Top Of The Bill' performance in South East London in 1972 with 3,000 others. The rest is history :)

[@johnnosiennek7066]

Phil explained “My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in. It comes from years of playing

[@sersastark]

This was a recent concert....but he was definitely supported by his rhythm section down below.

[@darkmage212]

I been to one of his concerts here in Texas a few months before COVID hit, and I will tell you. His son has definitely inherited his talent with the drums.

[@savetommyrobinsonfreespeec7660]

🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸 Another best of British! That tune was on the soundtrack to 1980s Miami Vice! One of the coolest tracks, for one of the coolest programs of the 1980s! I was a young teenager then, and now I’m a 50 year old fart! 😂

[@johnnosiennek7066]

Noone seems to notice the drums rising up from below stage until the lights hits hit them.....they weren't there at the start

[@emilyflotilla931]

Yep, and you can hear the crowd roar as they come into sight!

[@brak7865]

He is a drummer extraordinaire

[@lharrill7229]

Great song. Phil had made a name for himself as drummer for Genius, before taking over as lead singer. Now do some Pink. Sober (live) Glitter In The Air (live) Try (live) and Just Give Me Reason (live) all are freaking awesome.

Phil stopped drumming due to hearing problems, does it a few times now. He is a great drummer, long before he started singing. Try to find an older concert, like in the '80's.

[@jeffkemper7920]

Phil Collins, one of the best drummers, ever, and he's a great singer too. When Peter Gabriel left Genesis, they auditioned hundreds of singers and none of them seemed to fit. He sang backup to Peter for years, so one thing lead to another, and Phil stepped in. The rest is history. He was one of the best Prog-Rock drummers around. Listen to some Genesis from their first albums. Mr. Collins could hang with any drummer, at the time. Great reaction by the way!

[@SoftKitteh]

One of the best drum solos ever - with Roger Taylor being his only real competition. As has been mentioned, Phil started off drumming and was with the Band Genesis before he took over the vocals for the band (as well as playing the drums) after Peter Gabriel left. Amazing track and a great reaction.

Love your vids / reactions, brother... and of course, Stu baby!! Keep 'em coming!! Reaction recommendation... You MUST check out the TESKEY BROTHERS... the lead singer, Josh Teskey, is PURE SOUL... think Otis with a nice dash of Ray C.... and the rest of band (brothers) is perfect (TIGHT!). Listen to "Rain" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/in66emCwlJymhtU) and "Pain & Misery" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/onOpi4GMraxrbNE). These are NOT covers, believe it or not. I'm sure you won't be disappointed... Can't wait to see your (and Stu's) reaction!!!!

[@romanazzitube]

Not bad for a drummer who "sings a bit"! :) We're talking about one of the best drummer ever!!! 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 (the other drummer in this video) who played on tours. 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. A busy drummer who sings a bit!

[@heavensLuv]

What you feelin is Jesus on this song only because Jesus is coming for us at any moment, and we will meet Him in the air which is called the rapture!!!! Are you rapture ready???? 🌈🕊️🆙🕊️🌈

[@rzthis1]

I seen Phil live about two years ago, he still puts on a great show! If you're a drum fan, you've got to see this! It's a drum battle between Godsmack singer Sully and the drummer Shannon, Sully's the one that comes out killing it on the congas. Check out, Title - Godsmack - Drum Battle HD - Sully Erna vs Shannon Larkin - Batalla De Los Tambores (HD).flv. Link ~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3ubXqWVnclohrs . You will be thouroughly entertained!

Phil was the percussionist for Genesis - he only started to sing later on. Now he can't "use the sticks" any longer because of ill issues. A great loss.

[@larrymcauley3152]

Phil was with the band Genesis as a drummer. Their singer left the band and Phil picked up the slack. He and Don Henley are GOATS as singing drummers.

[@aileensmith6806]

I actually saw Phil Collins in concert. Awesome show.

[@judythornton5109]

Back when music was worth listening to. Now he can no longer play because of nerve damage in his hands. No talent can match him today.

[@nightHawk66]

Fun reaction! Not bad for a drummer who sings a bit.... 😱😉👍👍👍 His own words. He sees himself as a drummer, not a singer. Unfortunally he can't play no more due to spinal injury. In upcoming tour with Genesis, his son, Nicholas, will be playing drums as he did in Phil's latest tour "Not Dead Yet". Just hoping this covid-shit hits the fan and will be blown away...

[@markharris1125]
