Understanding the backstory of the song makes it even more powerful and emotional. He wrote this while angry and confused about a divorce. Watch it again and realize he's angry as he walks slowly for 5 minutes to the drums. Then when he finally gets there, he unleashes his rage and passion on the drums. Powerful.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Phil was a drummer first, vocalist second. For years, he did backing vocals in Genesis while Peter Gabriel sang lead. After Gabriel left and Phil discovered he couldn't sing the entire show behind his drum kit, they hired other drummers for touring, but he always still did some drums. (Until age changed that, as noted before).

He was 53 years old when he did this concert in Bercy, Paris in 2004. Truly an amazing performance by Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizers, Vocoder), Daryl Stuermer (6 String Guitar), Leland Sklar (Bass Guitar), Chester Thompson ("Rhythm" Drums) and Phil himself (vocals, drums). It was performed in front of 20,000 + people at the "Palais Omnisport de Paris" and truly was, if not the greatest, close to the greatest live performance ever. It was from his "Finally... The First Farewell" Tour and this particular concert in Bercy started with an amazing "Drums, Drums & More Drums" track performed by Phil and his other drummer, the previously mentioned Mr. Thompson. Incidentally, this track ("In the Air Tonight") was the 17th in the tracklist sandwiched between Separate Lives and Dance Into the Light. Phil had the energy he had in this song all the way through to the end of the concert (as did his musicians). Now that he can no longer drum, his son NIcholas plays drums almost as well as the old man did--literally--Phil is 70 now. His son is on the Domino tour with Genesis currently. Oh and of course, his daughter Lily is rapidly becoming a famous actress in her own right. So, he's still doing alright I suppose (tongue in cheek).

Phil Collins was originally the drummer for Genesis. Whe the lead singer Peter Gabriel left the group to pursue a solo career, they held auditions for lead singer. After several months of failing to find anyone the found satisfactory, Collins said I can do better than those people. He stepped up and became their lead singer.

It was a very dramatic piece indeed, derived from the events that led to a divorce. I think in order to deliver the song with what he feels is the proper intensity, he has to revisit those painful memories. The entire song is a confrontation. What's being felt in the air is the rising tension leading up to that confrontation.

Phil Collins is a criminally underrated drummer. He was the drummer for Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the singer / front man. Phil Collins also played drums in a band called Brand X where he shows just how good he is on drums.

[@markallen2984]

He is recognized as a brilliant drummer and has been literally for decades by real musicians. (Maybe not the Jonas Brothers/ Taylor Swift/Madonna crowd )

[@3DJapan]

I think he's quite highly rated.

[@Danceofmasks]

Wdym underrated? He's the one guy who had the biggest influence on 80s music - he invented gated reverb, that iconic 80s sound.

[@neillenet291]

@@3DJapanI don't think the average fan knows how exceptional of a drummer he is.

[@neillenet291]

@@markallen2984 yeah, my thoughts are that the average fan doesn't know how skilled he is. One of my favorite bands is King's X. Great band and musicians love em and praise them all the time but they don't have a huge fan base.

[@Zappy1210]

When Genesis lead singer (Peter Gabriel) left the band high and dry the drummer, Phil Collins took the roll and the band ran up the charts. Awesome 80's iconic song.

Always gives me cold chills when I hear this song

[@johannesaxeman4508]

This is important. musically, historically and for generations to come. Great music, craftmanship, must be remembered. Thanx guys.

[@neilhunter5893]

This live version is better than the studio version. Epic! Love it.

He wrote this song about a deeply painful divorce he'd been through. You can see the agony and anger in his eyes, on his face, and hear it in his voice.

[@ericblair1011]

Was the drummer of the original Geneses group, when the front man was Peter Gabriel!

[@Prodigal1]

It’s basically a song about revenge (payback). Although fictional it was written during a time when he was going through a divorce.

[@spress7254]

These two are the most likable reaction couple I've watched. Play off each other well and don't get overdramatic. Nice work. Oh yeah, Phil Collins is a legend, listen to some old Genesis stuff, both when he was just the drummer and when he was the front man after Gabriel left. Unique and very good.

[@Nanette322]

What a song! What a crowd...not one broken head!

[@stevetanner3019]

Phil was also the drummer and lead singer of the legendary band “Genesis”

[@The_Michael_Massey]

The song is a masterpiece. It is very real and most don't know what it means. There is a reason for his passion and the detail and art. There is an emotional vibe and with good reason, if you know what the song means, you will truly get it. I encourage you to look it up.

[@kurthenry1759]

I know this is older and am sure you have been told...originally Phil was the drummer for Genesis and Peter Gabriel was the "lead singer" (Shared with Phil)

[@evhleppard]

This is a great performance. Everybody that knows this song, just waits for that drum beat to drop.

[@MissTorix]

TELL ME ONE ARTIST IN THIS GENERATION WHO SOUNDS THIS PERFECT LIVE AS THEY DO ON THEIR RECORDS???????? ILL WAIT
