Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight - LIVE 2004 In Paris - Reaction (Ya'll were right!) 

Don’t you feel sorry for the younger generations who’ve missed out on what is real talent and music😊

I'm a metal head. Born in 73. I did not listen to "That soft crap" in my teens and was barely aware of Phil Collins. I was missing out due to my adolescent close mindedness. Phil is a frickin' LEGEND. He is an incredible performer, musical genius and all around rock icon. I still prefer old school Maiden, RJD, Sabbath and the heavy stuff, but Collins can not be ignored. He didn't even sound out of breath with that drum fill, played and sang perfectly. Damn.

This goes down in history as one of THE most ICONIC live performances of a classic song ever!!

Never piss this man off, or he'll write a song about it and the whole world will know!!😖😖🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎧🎤🎙🎹🤘🤘🤘🤘

I just love watching the faces of people discovering this amazing talent, as a 72 Yr old british pensioner, I believe I have witnessed some of the most groundbreaking and amazing music in my time Glad you enjoy it too.

Phil wears his pants around his waist and doesnt have four letter words I his lyrics!! No auto tune just 100% talent!!

I've seen this video so many times and it never gets old. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have been a huge Phil fan for years. My daughters who weren’t into Phil at that time bought me tickets for this concert. At the end of this performance we were all in tears. ( They are huge Phil fans now!) 👏🏻👏🏻

I've watched this live performance so many times.... it NEVER gets old.. Y'ALL youtubers reaction is just PRICELESS 😂😂 i❤it😊😊 Phil is just Phenomenal Singer w/multi-talented wide range of being a artists......

May the GOOD LORD forever BLESS and KEEP Phil Collins!!!!

Aw Texas you blew it. Some songs you just can't pause in the middle unless you go back and start over. It's written in the Universe somewhere.

This concert is to Paris 2004. Here he was 53 years old ☺

Music genius. Im sad that his health problems provents him from performing. He has given us so much Great music over the years.

That crowd sure got their money’s worth with that performance! He’s amazing!

Phil was a great entertainer live. Terrific sense of humor incorporated into his shows. He had the same band for years too.

Phil is an icon. He wrote this song about his divorce. Love your reaction!

How many of you do that drum solo EVERY single time you here this song.. no matter where or what you are doing??? I have not missed one yet ... and this performance... get outta here with this... PHENOMANEL... !!!!!!! Back when artist had to have actual talent to make it big.. !!!! Loved watching your reaction... that drum part at the end just makes everyone hang on to their seat and wait for the ride to stop.. !!!!

He is a legend.

This is one of, if not THEE best, live performances of all time. I can watch it a thousand times over again in a row and never get tired of it.

This is a great live version! Phil Collins is best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis in the 70's & for his solo career. He has had so many great hits such as "Another Day In Paradise", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Against All Odds", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Take Me Home", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind Of Love", "I Wish It Would Rain Down", "You Can't Hurry Love" etc.

This concert was in Paris 2004 . Phil was 53 yrs old & still killing it! He wrote this after his divorce....it was a combination of all those emotions on top of dealing with fame. She couldn't deal with him being gone for months at a time. But he couldn't pursue his dream without touring. All the frustration...hurt...& anger all comes through.

One of the most iconic songs ever . He is a legend.

Phil tells the story in a interview, when the drum kit was not there as he is walking and singing so when he reached his mark, he jumped down played the drums and continued the song from below the stage. The way he tells it is hysterical. A true artist and performer always!

this song at this concert was from his first farewell tour at bercy park paris in 2004 and in my opinion it is a much better version than the original - this one seems to have the depth that was missing when phil wrote and sang it at a much younger age

פיל קולינס הוא אגדה מהלכת❤❤❤הוא איקוני.ביצוע מדהים❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התתגובה שלך👍👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

It’s amazing that his voice hasn’t changed with age, unlike Jimmy whose voice has deepened and matured. Such a great voice and talent.

I love this song! He is unforgettable! He was so awesome and I wish him great health! Phil, I wish you the best and I love you! ❤️

Phil is a wrapped up ball of power, talent creativity and also, great timing! Love me some P.C.!

Best foreplay and climax ever. "He sings with his eyes": indeed! Great reaction, thanks.

When the Drums came up on the elevator, we thought here we go... awesome reaction, new that would put a smile on your dial. :)

Phil Collins_ G.O.A.T. !!!

Reviewers who either weren't familiar with Phil Collins, or,knew that he sang, in the '80s, but, didn't know he was a drummer get blown out of their chair by that drum fill.😂

Oh, awesome! You're right about the clear quality and power of his vocals... and he keeps it while drumming like that! What a beautiful, authentic reaction, too, Texas :~)

Probably one of the very best British performers ever!!! This man is a Legend! ❤

Not to take away from Phil Collins beautiful concert, but that guitar makes me wanna cry.

It's lost nothing of its brilliance from the first time hearing 🦘🇦🇺👍

So sad that he can no longer play the drums due to back surgery. He said he would have to tape the sticks to his hands. His son Nick played the drums on the last tour. Phil had to sit in a chair.

This is one of my favorite songs/performances. Just wow. If you ever want to do a reaction to another live performance, I vote for Queen Live Aid 1985 Full Concert.

Im 65 yrs old and in my opinion my generation had the best singers, best music and best bands. So much talent to wrap your head around. From my generation to your's ✌️ and ❤️ my friend 😘😊

Phil Collins has always been one of my favorite drummers. And his voice is a one of a kind recognize it anywhere voice. I never really got into Genesis until Phil took the lead singer position when Peter Gabriel left. His voice brings back so many good memories for me.

The build up.the tease..yes the suspense... In my younger years..I'm in Phil's age group..I had the pleasure to see a few concerts and truly wish this had been one of them... Thanks Tex...🌿🌿🌿

Legendary, Epic! The built up, the command he has of the stage, and the people know he is a drummer, when you know that he is going to his drums and you know what is coming. And the passion that he put in the song and play the drums at the same time! IS truly epic

This is what DIVORCE produces to the best Writer,Singer,StageProduction Manager and Musician I have known..

You will never see this again. The magic of Genesis. Thec1st guitar strums got my hairs stand up. Then the drums later. Fkn wow. ❤

Phil is a legend. Period. ❤

The pure happiness on your face told it all. Phil is a legend. I love watching younger generations watch the Classics. ❤

I've seen Phil Collins live twice. Once in MSG. This song live is like a musical fireworks orchestra, and watching him perform it is like a natural version of the greatest bong rip during of your life!

One of the best live performances I've ever seen.

This song means so much to me. My abuser died. Not sorry. This song gives people like me strength! Know it's not what he's sings about, but somehow, soothes me. Thanks. You have such radio voice. Bless you🙏

For me, it's a joy to see him on the drums again.

It seems you weren't aware that Phil played the drums until he sat down and started playing them! The look on your face was awesome! Great reaction Texas Love! Your smile said it all! Thank you for letting me sit in and watch with you! I enjoyed myself!

I saw him perform this live in Houston during this tour. Every time I see this video it brings back memories of not only this great song, but that concert. Watch the video of the concert, the beginning is amazing.

I flew from Indiana to see this concert.

I remember being in a traffic jam, and Heard man listening to this on his radio the song, we both put up radios and air drumsticks and Woman to my left tapped her horn, and all three of us went together on the air drums. Was cool and fun.

I saw him perform this live on the No Jacket Required tour- it was incredible, a show stopper then as it would be today. I also saw home live with Genesis-he was a great performer, musician and singer whose talent is undeniable. I think only Prince was comparable in how often he was heard on the radio at around the same time-and a lot of Prince’s stuff wasn’t performed by him. But Phil will never be fully duplicated by one person.

Woot! Every time I hear this song I'm immediately thrown back to Friday nights watching Miami Vice on TV. And for a percussion junkie like me, that da-da-da-dum-dum-dum just sets my heart on fire.

Another great live to review is The Eagles, Hotel California in '76. Amazing!

Love your reaction....as always!!! Another song is "I don't care anymore" along the lines of his heartbreaking divorce. I really love the song "Another day in Paradise" which is a social commentary on homelessness which unfortunately hasn't changed! I was fortunate enough to see Phil live in concert and the crowd was in anticipation of this song which was a show stopper! Always leave them wanting more is an old adage. He definitely was conveying the music with his eyes!!! Love from a fellow Texan!!!

I mean that young girls face says it all, like a religious experience.

I played FaceValue continually throughout my Nurse Training in the RAF, great times remembered. Have seen him live many years ago, always better live, not many of todays pop stars you can say that about. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Phil was a drummer with a voice!!

Yes that Lennon song was from his last album released Double Fantasy. Woman! He was killed about a month before the release of the album. Pretty tough to compete with a Beatle who just died. All stations played the Beatles and Lennon for like two weeks straight

Best live performance !! 🥁🎤🎶🎹

I,m 77 I,ve watch many old timers bands my favorite one is one more night by Phil Collin

Chills every time…the focus and the haunting echo effect is amazing.So glad this got taped so everyone can see it…

You backed up the video to see Phil once he gets behind the drums, I backed up the video to see your reaction again to this epic moment. your reaction was priceless!

Iconic performance of an iconic song.

great: the studio version epic: this live version

Love his song, Don't care anymore. It from the same time as this song

I'm a huge Phil Collins fan. I saw him live in 1990, 1992 with Genesis and 2018 in his "Not Dead Yet, Live" concert. His son Nic played in that one. My favorite concerts to watch on RU-vid now are Live and Loose in Paris and the full concert from your clip here and the same set from what I saw Live.

You might enjoy his raw passion in “I don’t care anymore”: official video.

I went to this concert in Orlando. All these years later, and I still get chicken skin when I watch this. He is no longer able to play the drums but we have years of his playing. His son is now the drummer … taught by his dad. 🐓 skin … still.

He is/was an amazing singer/drummer. Phil started off playing drums for the band 'Genesis', & Peter Gabriel was lead singer. Phil Collins decided to go his own way, singing & playing drums, just excellent! He has an album (vinyl!) out call 'His Greatest Hits Full Album - The Best of Phil Collins. You'll have to check it out on RU-vid, you'll LOVE it!!!! xx🥰🥰

2004 Finally...The Final Farewell tour in Paris. Check out the closing song, Take Me Home. The performance and what Phil Collins does will surprise you. If the drum fill in this song was a eye opening moment, the ending performance is equal.

I can't stop watching this!!!

Phil Collins was the drummer of Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the front man. When Gabriel left the band to start a solo career, Collins took over as the front man. Check out "Mama" and "Land of Confusion" by Genesis. Those are some powerful songs.

All about absolute heart break 💔 that we all experience ❤. IMO every single soul on earth this song is for everyone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This one was in Paris. He completed a last tour with Genesis, went solo, but had to stop drumming because of back issues, because of playing all these years. His son Nic also plays the drums now. He played in their last concerts.

He is fantastic and his concerts are legendary...and yes I get an emotional reaction every time he hits that drum! Also great is Hotel California by the Eagles in concert.

This was his first solo album. I bought it the day it released.

You can't go from FIRED UP to crying. 😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂

Great reaction!...👍

Phil still gives me the chills, if you catch my meaning.

You've got to see this entire concert. You'll love it!!

Great reaction hombre!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!! Keep digging that gold in rock and roll music!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸

Child actor, drummer, singer, adult actor. Lifetime greatness. Have a great day!

Ha ha ha I knew you would like it. The live concert was freaking awesome. No matter how much of an introvert or TARZAN dudes thought they were it made no difference everyone was up and singing and dancing. I think if you look carefully you can see the number of people there on the ground and all the way up in the grand stands. If I can remember this was about half way through the show (stand corrected). The whole stadium erupted which you can't feel from the video. The sound however was awesome. Saw him in Johannesburg Ellis Park Rugby stadium where the stadium was full in 1995 62000 seater although the space directly behind the stage was not sold as seats the field in front of the stage probably held even more the place was packed.

I feel sorry for the new generation now..they missed this kind of singer talent

Such a loss of a wonderful singer and performer 😢

Sorry but I have to say I love the sound of your voice….love Phil Collins so much even after 40 years..give it take a few lololol. Thank you for sharing 🙂💜

Thank you for your reaction to this. He is a living legend. You should check out the duet with him and Chester Thompson, the one where he is wearing a white shirt. It's beyond belief.

When I hear this song it always makes me remember Miami Vice lol

You did a MASIVE NO NO. YOU Don’t pause in Phil’s drum solo. 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

in Against All Odds, Aid for Africa video he plays the piano

when you mentioned the guitarist's simplicity.being a guitarist myself for over 50 years. . sometimes less is more

beautiful reaction. Greetz from Germany

There were approx. 80,000 in attendance.

THANK YOU! You are the first reactor to note the atmospherics aren't part of the song. I understand the people who have never heard the song not knowing but a lot of reactors heard the song before and still didn't comment.

its about his life in music, i feel, that he made it: If u work hard dreams can come true. The guy was aback-stabber in his life, he has fallen

That theory that he witnessed a drowning is so silly! All he said was that if the person he is talking to was drowning, he wouldn't help. How would that mean he watched someone drown?
