Definitely give Robbie Williams Rock DJ a look but make sure its the music video. Was banned on MTV when it came out and is a little a sassy and a little graphic in a comedy way. It's widely used on KZbin so it's OK to use it. Would love to see your reaction 😂

Phil Collins once had a knock at the door of his Surrey farm, from a desperate neighbour who needed £10,000 to keep his house after a messy divorce. Phil leant him the money, interest free, and told him to only pay it back, if and when he could afford to. Two years later, the man returned with a cheque for £10k such a lovely man

[@derekbennett5317]

Us 70 year olds have grown up being entertained with most talented original groups, band and individuals in the 60s, 70s and 80s to ever grace the popular music world. In my opinion there in nothing that compares today.

THANK YOU FOR NOT PAUSING DURING HIS DRUMS!! So many other reactors have and it’s a major crime to interrupt the GOAT - he’s singing AND drumming which is SO difficult to do. Many reactions by vocal coaches to this achievement. So pleased to enjoyed it - gives me goosebumps every time xx

Absolutely 💯

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

I just think it’s AWESOME (and RARE) that you guys will actually go to the effort to react to more-than-one version of a song, in order to make your viewers happy! There are very very FEW reactors who are that responsive and who care that much.

[@madelaca4589]

I love Phil Collins! It's so sad that he has been ill for such a long time 😔 This concert was insane! Thanks for reacting to it. Random fact but today I learnt that Lily Collins, the actress from "Emily in Paris" which I super enjoyed, is Phil's daughter! How cool is that!

[@LB-my1ej]

Phil Collins was once referred to as a singer who plays the drums, he replied I prefer to think of myself as a drummer who sings a bit. Classic

[@jacksdjfam]

I prefer. He's a musician

[@nalanroberts]

And he does both so proficiently!

[@Logistical_Nightmare]

Those of us a certain age, he will always be a drummer that can sing.

[@jeffwiltshire]

@@nalanroberts sadly not anymore. In the last ever Genesis concert at the O2 in 2022 his son was playing the drums (Nic Collins) as Phil can't hold the sticks anymore and his singing voice is no longer what it was. He was sat in a chair all the way through the concert. Awesome to see the band one last time but very sad at the same time.

[@nalanroberts]

@@jeffwiltshire Yes, so sad.😔

Icon and legend are thrown about a lot these days, but Phil Collins is a true music icon. A real legend

[@anitawright7169]

Phil is an icon and the song is iconic. Playing drums and singing at the same time is difficult at best and he does it with ease. Love your reactions!

[@marionthompson3365]

Saw him twice, fantastic artist. Underrated to a degree. Still listen to his music now and then.

[@PeterVincent-f4w]

Phil is special! He makes his great voice marry with his ability on the drums making him a rare talent.Also with the great group Genesis!!

[@schmedrake5429]

There is a core group of Phil fanatics on KZbin who immediately jump on every reaction video. And I’m one of them… haha. I’m sorry people were mean about it, but they just wanted you to see the best live performance of a ubiquitous rock song. Glad you saw the difference.

[@BK10011]

I’ve seen him live 3 times and whether you appreciate his music or not he is without doubt one of the best live performers I’ve ever seen. It really was like listening to a record for the entire gig. I’m no expert but the ability to sing like that whilst playing drums (and let’s be honest, he was really playing those drums) is unbelievable. As many will know, he’s not doing too well health wise at the moment and I wish him and his family well. A true legend that has been a part of many people’s lives for so long.

[@peterjohnson5952]

Hi Guys, Daryl Stuermer, the lead guitarist , has been with Phil forever and played with Genesis from late 1977. FYI he is American and comes from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He has a long career in music with his own band back in 1970. Also, FYI he is a month older than me. Stay safe you guys.

[@ratatat9790]

Chester Thompson ,the other drummer is American (L.A) too of course.

YOU SHOULD REACT TO PHIL COLLINS OFFICIAL VID OF THE AWARD WINNING "ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE"

[@bonnielee78]

Hey guys, 'In the air tonight' was released in 1981; so it is 43 years old. I love this version so much because of the build up and each instrument has it's own epic introduction; and then of course the drum ending which make me nervous each time that he isn't gonna make it to the drum kit in time lol. Hugs from Oz.

Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore (Live) another banger

[@stephenspencer2632]

I'm of an age to have seen Phil Collins from when he was the drummer with Genesis, Peter Gabriel as the lead singer at the Rainbow in London in 1973. Many more times as a single artist and with the band. This includes the final gig of Genesis at the O2 London in 2022. One of the best.

[@karlmcgowan-vc4zt]

Mike, Jess, I hope all is well. My brother has seen both Genesis & Phil Collins live, and he thinks Phil has got the best live singing voice.👍❤️

WoW! mind blowing! ❤

[@rk41gator]

Paris loves their Phil Collins! This whole concert is GREAT. Leland Sklar is always into it and is one of the best bassists to have ever existed. Your full screen is epic. Phil just takes our breath away. Good luck on Saturday......just don't let your Vols beat my Gators! I can feel it.

[@That_is_for_me_to_know]

Sorry to say this to you, but the song was released in 1981 it is 43 years old, don't worry I feel old too. Great reaction by the way. Phil is the GOAT.

[@coldwhite4240]

As a kid of the 70s and teen of the 80s, that was my immediate thought: "Twenty years ago? More like forty!" Music like that is timeless - decades can go by but it's still powerful and relevant.

[@Britishshadow]

I feel old reading this now, at least we had decent music

[@nevillemason6791]

First played in 1981. Still unsurpassed after 43 years in my opinion. It's very sad that Phil isn't still able to drum. This is my generation, loved his music along with Genesis, The Police, Queen, Led Zeppelin, etc.

[@dangerousdaz89]

A very talented man, originally just the drummer for Genesis before taking over after Peter Gabriel (very talented himself) left. His daughter is a great actress - currently starring in Emily in Paris

This track came out 43 years ago, in January 1981. Where did the time go...? It was PC's first solo single, off of his solo debut album "FACE VALUE." The way you tell the story of having supposedly watched the 'wrong' version had me in stitches!😆😂

[@rk41gator]

There is almost no 'wrong' Phil Collins tune; however, I am glad you found this one. Now I will sit back and enjoy (for the 1000th time) the best performance ever recorded, imho.

In 1983 I discovered an album called Genesis by Genesis and I haven't looked back since if ever I could recommend A work of art by him then it's got to be home by the sea live. Watch and listen to how good his musical art is

Listen, guys, i've been listening to phil collins since this song first aired. Both performances equally as good. They both have the wow factor. The people who are complaining are probably young and they're more used to the newer more up-to-date performance. Now if 1 video did not have him doing his thing, then yes, you can say one is better than the other.

[@vernhoke7730]

There's another great song from this show that I think was the finale. Phil and his drummer Chester Thompson get into a drum duet that leads into "Take Me Home" with the whole place singing along. This song was released 43 years ago and gained notoriety in the TV series "Miami Vice".

Most epic divorce song on the planet! All of us back in the day played air drums when this song came out😁! Phil is a legend! Thank God this is making the rounds cuz I worried our music would die! Btw this came out in the 80’s. Songs older than u think✌🏻😎

[@LindaYoung-o3l]

Hoping that because you've uploaded this video today all is good where you are after Milton XX

[@SirDeweyRoyalKnightOfBebahan]

The cool thing o like about his performance of This song and the Paris version is you don’t actually see his drums untill he’s about to play 5 secs before he play them as he walking towards them you see them raise out of ground just in time for him to do his solo

[@josephbloggs7555]

Glad you guys are OK after Milton. Phil is absolute LEGEND in my opinion and this performance is awsome. If you ever want to dive into musical history go to Leyland Skylars youtube channel. He is the gentleman with the long beard in this performance and he has played bass guitar with too many GREAT artists to mention, (into the hundreds I think). he recounts and replays some of the performances and he seems to be a very humble person yet he should definitely be given some love for his contributions to many of the best pieces of music we have ever heard, both as a studio player or in concert.

[@DavidAugustine-lc4cj]

Firstly, this starts with the greatest opening Live Red Stratocaster guitar lick in music history, and one of the best Strat guitar openings ever! The guitar player alone is next level compared to other vid! And a bass player who looks like Father Christmas doing his side gig! Also The other vid was fuzzy sounding, and nowhere this level of crystal musical clarity! And as everyone knows from the Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb" Pulse Concert! Red Stratocaster Guitars are legendary! The rest of the music, atmosphere, lighting, stage, compared to that TV studio type feeling of other vid! This speaks for itself!❤🙏

[@garyfallows1123]

Phil is an absolute musical god, this performance was epic, another live performance you might want to check out is John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra doing his biggest hit You're The Voice, great reaction guys 🇬🇧

[@martinmarenov7460]

There is nothing wrong with the other video. It's also a great performance.

The song was released in1981. It's on his debut solo album. This perfomance is from 2004 and the other from 1997. Unfortunately his health condition doesn't allow him to play drums anymore. He performs in a wheelchair. His son Nicholas plays the drums.

[@johnthegreek5836]

Compliment!! I love your setup, you show us the entire screen like we’re at the concert, love your channel

[@pjgtech]

The build up to this song at this concert was EPIC, as was Phil's timing, to get to the drums just as they rise up from the stage, and the anticipation of the crowd as they know exactly whats coming, eg: probably the best drum solo of all time! Thank you for the vid/reaction...

[@killianlpc]

Phil is a 'Prog Rock' God having played with Genesis from the early 70s. You gotta check out his live Genesis dual drumming with Chester Thompson. Checkout the live Rome open air gig in 2007 in front of half a million people it is insane. It is amazing how many have never heard of Phil before along with Genesis he has sold over 300 million albums! yes 300 million! He took over from another legend Peter Gabriel as lead singer in 1975. Again checkout the live old Genesis medley of In The Cage/Cinema Show/ Dukes Travels/Afterglow it is off the charts!

I`m 73 and grew up with Genesis seeing them in Derby UK when Phil had recently joined them. I still feel 50 years younger when I watch their dvd`s. Please watch their DVD `When in Rome' it`s their best full concert before Phil became ill and the sound is amazing. There are Darryl Stuermer on lead guitar and Chester Thompson on the drums as here. They perform with Genesis too. Phils drums are always really well tuned and really get you deep in the chest.
