( First Time Hearing) Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight (Live) THIS IS INSANE 

I'm only 2 minutes into it too. Thus far your reaction is what I live for. The anticipation watching you until the finale is nothing short of pure entertainment. 😁

He's from a time when musicians had talent.

Rule 1 never ever interrupt the drum solo Rule 2 refer to rule 1

I love to see the joy on you youngsters faces when you appreciate us older folks music. love what you are doing keep it up.

This is why he’s a legend.

When this came on in the radio back in the 80s it was evryone shut up and started singing and drumming the staring wheel...lmao😅

He didn't even need the drums but when it happens look out!!!

Holy Moses. That pause was murder

You missed most of the lyrics which make the song even more remarkably chilling.

😂 I hope you had a second, without interruption, viewing once you experienced it the first time. The whole time watching you and your reactions, I kept smiling because you had no idea what was about to blow you away! It was originally released in 1981, I'm thinking a while before you were born. 😂

whos here because of miami vice 😍

Best song EVER. I've been a Genesis fan from day one.....yes i'm old. If you like this you would love Phil Collins and Chester Tompson ( the other drummer you see with him ) duet . Love from England in the UK x

He was part of the band Genesis as well, probably spelled that wrong

Never stop Phil in his drum solo, ever.

NEVER interrupt the Master when he is on the drums, he's been playing them since he was 5yrs old, and he's one of the best drummers in the world,!!

Some of us have been playing the air drums since 1981 when this song came out, and still do to this day....

He is the master of timing. He gets to the drums at the precisely right moment and doesn't miss a beat, with his hands or feet, while his voice remains perfectly steady. That is talent we don't see anymore.

Don’t pause during most epic drum solo ever. Total buzz kill.

“Please tell me there’s some drums”😅😅😅

Never stop the drums part...never

He was always a drummer first. He didn’t want to sing, but had to step in once, and history made.

Phil Collins started out as the drummer for the band Genesis in the late sixties and early seventies, later started his solo career.

Fun fact, on the studio version Phil Collins played ALL the instruments and mixed them in, a real talent!

People need to step it up because who can play the drums and sing? That is pro skill right there.

I am a 71 year old from England, and Phil Colins is my favourite English singer all round man who was once in genisis until he went solo and he is the best England has to offer xx

The message behind his song is that he was going through a divorce. His ex wife had cheated on him and years after divorcing her, he wrote this song about it. The betrayal and love lost. The words,” I saw them with my own two eyes”, it’s all been a pack of lies”. He’s mad and everything gets you up to the drums. Then he releases his anger, emotions etc in the culmination of the song. He’s a master. Not many can touch him. I’ve seen him in concert twice and he’s AMAZING. His live versions can almost always be better then the studio release.

Phil is that rare breed of lead singer & drummer! One of my favorites of all time! ❤

You may not be able to see it very well in this video, but the drum kit rises up from the beneath the stage floor as he approaches it. I saw this show live and we all went crazy when this happened!

OMG Honey don't stop when He's Playing the drums!!! Omg❤❤❤

These new so called artists…I’m sorry but are a joke. This man created this song in the 80’s when I was 12’ years old…I’ll never forget it because I got “goosebumps” when I heard it back then. He’s an ICONIC LEGEND. I’m almost 60’ now and I miss Artists who can actually sing songs of Substance and Top 🔝 Level Instrumentalists. Thank you young man for reacting to this Stunning Performance by Phil Collins. Merry Christmas 🎁 2023’.

One of the beautiful things about Phil Collins is he is now touring with his son who now plays the drums. He’s just as good as his dad!

Congratulations you have been Philed! Enjoy!

Phil Collins has always been a drummer as well as a vocalist.

This live is better than the studio version, and that is so rare. Also: It shouldn’t be physically possible to pound drums while singing smoothly. But he made it look effortless.

I am nearly 70 and it still knocks me out. You got to listen with out interruption

Never. Stop. The. Drum. Drop. Ever!!!

This performance is in 2006 when he was 55 years. The song was released in 1981 when he was 30 (and still had hair).

Would you believe that this song was in the original Miami Vice series? It is the ultimate multi-generational song that has adapted to new music tech. And now, knowing where Phil is in his life and health. It brings me to tears.

And that people is the power of music.

Phil Collins is an icon! Playing drums and singing at the same time is very difficult at best. He does it with ease. Love your reaction!

He's a badass drummer. They once strapped him into a drumset that spun upside down while he was drumming and singing. He's awesome!

Phil was a legendary drummer for years before he was like "yeah, I guess I can kind of sing? maybe?" I love seeing people who don't know that react to him live for the first time. Great reaction!

Phil was the drummer for Genesis before he went solo he is a very talented drummer one of the best there is.

Dude the suspense is a killer. If you would keep your eyes open when he hits that drum solo you'd get a fuller experience.

Phil Collins and Genesis were GODS in the 80's.

He's one of the most under recognized drummers of all time. Period

Phil Collins one of the best drummers of all time and even a better singer!!

*I'm literally crying because this was my era and it brings back so many memories and mistakes. It just makes you want to go back where life was better at times. And to correct my life.* ♥️💔😭

I LOVE reactions from newbies who are amazed at greatness!

I watch a lot of reactions to this performance because I really enjoy seeing people’s faces at the drum break. But I also love seeing when people react with joy at that part, with true appreciation for just how freaking epic it is.

The man is a LEGEND and a Master musician. I knew you would cry.

His son Nic is as good as he is. Every musician on that stage is a legend in his own right.

When he said "Please tell me there's some drums" ... I'm sitting here laughing knowing what upcoming.

Its sad you have no idea phil collins was one of the greatest drummers ever

He has the most distinct voice as well ,The Fabulous Phil Collins, "Master" !!!!

Phil has, I believe, one of the most distinctive voices EVER!!!

When you had to stop and said wow ..that was priceless 😊

I think that’s the most famous drum drop in history. THE Mr Phil Collins! Love to watch you young guys see a real singer/drummer/songwriter do it!

Drums are his THING! Yes. Phil is a MONSTER on drums. Believe it.

Listening in 2023!!! Awesome DRUMMER and Singer. Plays multi instruments. Classic. Never tired.

Never ever interrupt the drummer, but your reaction, made up for it, brilliant❤❤

Yep it's all about deliverance!!!❤❤❤

I saw Phil perform this live in 1982 or 83 at Indiana University. Best concert I have ever seen. I am older and have seen quite a few. ❤

It's always nice to introduce someone to Phil Collins -- arguably one of the best rock drummers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Love your reaction!! Phil is the best!!!

פיל קולינס הוא אגדה מהלכת....הוא איקון❤❤❤❤מהמם.ביצוע מדהים❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלך👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶

I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, when you heard the drums.. stunning reaction.. We know Phil and his drums since God was a child.. his the Best drummer ever.

Phil is an actual drummer, which is why he always played the drums in his own music.. among other instruments. The man is a true talent!!

Love to watch another human being who can "feel the music" I watch these reaction videos over and over because it's so cool to see that moment when people experience what true great musicians can create when the work together.

Phil’s ABSOLUTELY greatest video! EVERYTHING about it!! 🥰♥️

It's so much fun seeing someone watch this for the first time.

Great reaction. Phil is the master of production. His lives are as g good or better than the studio versions. You should check out -I Don’t Care Anymore live from Perkins Palace. Also his performances with Genesis, My favorite of theirs is - Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea Life From Wembley in 1992(?)

He was a drummer in the English band Genesis before becoming a singer. He started playing drums as a child.

You like drums. Watch his video for I Don't Care anymore. The drums are a living presence from beginning to end. It's kick*ss!

His timing, his facial expressions, his demeanor… Phil is the man. Simply Iconic! Look at the audience, their faces say everything!

This is a once in a lifetime experience in my opinion and can we just say? How did they coordinate everything that is true professionalism❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not only did you ruin the "surprise" of the song by reading the comments but you killed the entire vibe and build up by pausing so much. You asked about "when do the drums come in?" They finally come in and you don't even watch him play. Instead you closed your eyes listening for the guitar? Like someone else said it seemed like you already knew this song and were just playing to the camera.

A great singer and one of the best drummers of the Rock era.

Nfl a couple super bowls ago did a segment how like 90% of the teams listen to this before playing lol...was a crazy good little segment giving insight into the locker rooms and the mentality of the players and everything, but how this song just gets them ready for battle

Great reaction. I know you were really digging it, but if you haven't already done so, try watching the whole thing to see all the things going on - Phil is not only a phenomenal vocalist and drummer, he is also quite the showman!

You have experienced a legend and a true artists.

Can't believe you stopped it at the drum solo!!!!

This is not about someone drowning!!! He wrote this about his cheating wife and singing to her lover!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎙🥁🎹🎸🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

I love watching people discover this song for the first time! Phil Collins is a master on the drums. This song is timeless. So glad you liked it!

A suggestion!! make it about the performer.. and maybe not talk all the way through it

Always funny to see the instant gratification generation learn about anticipation and true release. LOL

Phil Collins is exceptional!!! One of the best EVER. Many amazing songs.

Witnessing 50 years of experience master craftsman at the top of the game

THE INTRO SETS THE SCENE. Sets the mood. This song isn't like any other song on the planet. You have to ease into it and the beat drop is EVERYTHING. The electric guitar, the piano and his voice is ALL you need until the beat drops for the most EPIC drum solo in history in any song. Phil is PURE GENIUS.

"Who needs a hairline when you can sing good." HAHAHHA I almost died when you said that. Phil Collins was sexy as hell.

Here's a legend. Also check out the band Genesis. He was the drummer and singer.

I don't know about you but I was there LIVE chills from start to finish. AWESOME CONCERT❤🎉❤😊

Love your musical appreciation! Subbed! 😊 I love the use of the Vocoder harmonizing with his voice!!!!❤ Phil was in his 50’s here.

You might be surprised how many young women around your age group would go for Phil Collins. Did you check out the end of the video where the cameras pan the audience ? Lol !!!

This song is open to interpretation. He wrote the song the day after his divorce was final. He just put down what he was feeling and turned it into this.

Not good to interrupt his performance. Respect, listen then comment.

Love Phil. He can't play drums anymore but his son took over. Awesome

New generation way too impatient….just listen

Appreciate the instruments while waiting for the singing. Play Santana music you feel it. A person who truly loves music appreciates everything the instrumentation in the vocals.

Stop thinking instant gratification start thinking musical foreplay
