❤Phil Collins, one of the best drummer ever!!! He 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”!
One of the most iconic drum parts. Ever. Back in the 80s Phil Collins was everywhere. His band Genesis, his solo work, duets with other artists, even some acting stints in movie and TV land. So much so that most of us really got fed up with the man at some point.
Phil Collins is an icon! This song is more than awesome. Singing and playing the drums is not easy to do. and he does it with ease. Love your reaction!
So interesting you pointing out how there is no cell phone in the crowd, with everyone's eyes riveted towards the stage. Anyone who says that one gets the same feeling from a live concert whether watched through a cell phone or without can only mean they've never experienced it without.
All the time he was walking around the stage there were no drums on that rear catwalk, until he got about ten feet away... They came up through the floor. Perfect timing for that iconic drum drop. Great performances also - not only from the other musicians on set, but the sound and lighting crew. Everyone came together to give a performance second to none. Thanks for posting.
Phil Collins was originally the drummer for the English band Genesis. After the lead singer Peter Gabriel left Genesis, Phil became the lead singer along with playing drums. He went solo in 1980 taking a break from being in a band. He released this song in 1981. I was 14 years old! Mike Rutherford of Genesis also went solo around the same time and formed another band Mike and the Mechanics.
I smiled when you said "It's so relaxing." It doesn't stay that way. 😁 He wrote this and "I Don't Care Anymore" while he was going through a very painful divorce. It was his therapy.
this is one of the best performances ever recorded. Try not to close your eyes when watching a video. There are so many things to appreciate and you don't want to miss anything. Also, people watching your video expect you to watch every second.
Phil Collins had a number of solo hits, and he was the lead for the band Genesis. He was ubiquitous in the 80’s. Don’t Lose my Number, Sussudio, Easy Lover, Against All Odds, and of course In the Air Tonight.
Fantastic reaction to this amazing performance 🤗, he holds a. Special place in my heart . The 70/80s was a great time to be young and such amazing music and concerts with no phones or cameras . I look forward to seeing if you react to more of my favourite songs. Take care
I started listening to him in 1970. It was the year after I graduated from high school. One of my favorites! You'll notice there are a lot of "older" peoplen in the crowd.
U have a great ride a head of you listen to the people we know see the respect we had we are noisy when we need to be and silent when we need to be i was lucky to see MT COLLINS 4 TIMES IN MONTREAL 🎉
I first heard this song as a kid on the 80's show Miami Vice as I was randomly flipping through channels one night. Then I heard it in a Budweiser commercial shortly after. Then the song blew up and was played on the radio all the time.
This one from Phil Collins (UK drummer/singer) is amazing; I could have his drumming on loop forever! Do yourself a favor and react to Australia's John Farnham (pronounced Farn'um) anything LIVE is brilliant but try to start with his version of the Beatles - Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (same words completely different arrangement). You will not regret it and us Aussies will follow you and subscribe; there are so many epic performances to experience! But don't close your eyes or be distracted for a second; John is always adding extra entertaining parts to his performances!
Glad your generation discovers the sound of my youth. I was lucky to see some of your reactions live in those days, like Phil Collins (as part of Genesis) or Queen in 1979. Makes me feel quite old 🙂
Grew up listening to him in my teens, with Genusis and his Solo career, he had a lot of hits, ie. Sussudio, Another day in paradise, I can't dance, Disney songs. Fell in love with someone while dancing to his songs, fell out of love, but he and other 80's artists was always there. Now you need to do Eddie van Halen's song called Rupture, also epic.
1) NEVER apologize for your accent, you speak beautifully! 2) Thank you for GETTING this video!! You just made my day, seeing someone your age appreciating one of the most iconic performers from my timeline (this is honestly my hands down favorite song EVER!). 3) subscribing to your channel now… I want to see what other great videos you find! 4) Have you reviewed “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton?
Phones at this time didn't have video capability. Only taking photos and they weren't good quality. It's unlikely you would see people have their phones out. The fans of the older bands know how to enjoy a concert without technology. Although, I attended a concert in 2006. Lisa Marie Preseley (Elvis Presely's daughter) and security would not allow me to take any photos. I kept trying and almost got thrown out. No photography was allowed before 2010 unless professional with a badge. Yes. Lisa Presely was a singer and made 3 albums.
Here's a song the Phil Collins played on in 1975 on Steve Hackett's first solo album. You should check out "Steve Hackett - Shadow of the Hierophant" live from Wuthering Nights: Live In Birmingham. The end drumming is amazing.
This song was actually written by him either during or right after his first divorce... He said the words came out so fast and easily that he didn't even have time to write them down correctly, just scribbled them down on something... I belieeeeve it was to the dude who slept with his then-wife... But, yeah, check out "Ssssusdio" by Phil Collins, and "Easy Lover" that he did with Philip Bailey of "Earth, Wind, and Fire"... He also did an episode on "Miami Vice" back in the day where his song, "Take Me Home," was also a featured track... He did all this amazing music AFTER his singing and drumming days with the band, "Genasis"... Yeah, definitely check him out, dude... OH, AND I WAS REMINDED, PLEASE, check out his song, "I Don't Care Anymore," ANOTHER GREAT drum section... Yeah. He's a baaaad monkeyfarma!!! lol 🤘🏾🤙🏾✌🏾
Bimu, Great reaction mate, seen Phil many times, you carry one with your lovely reactions, kind regards, from GB, England, Birmingham, Peaky Blinders Country.
Bimu - PLEASE do a reaction to Phil Collins song "I don't care anymore", but make sure it's the live version. If you want to see passion, this is pure feeling put into music. A fantastic song to listen to with headphones loud af when you are going through a breakup, having a bad day, etc. You'll understand once you see it. Get ready.
An absolute masterpiece from Phil Collins!!! He was originally a drummer from the band Genesis, he was sensational then. Peter Gabriel was the lead singer at the time. Later on Peter left & Phil played drums aswell as sing!
@@BimuReacts 'Against All Odds' is a great song. He also has a bunch of hits from back when he was the drummer for GENESIS. 'I Can't Dance' is one of my favorite videos. ALSO If you ever saw Disneys TARZAN - The songs from the movie are his. 😊 I never got to see him live unfortunately.
@@mischiefmanaged444 Thank you so much! I hope i will save the right link. last question, what is their most popular song? can you sent me the link too?
@@BimuReacts Invisible Touch is listed as their only song to reach to reach #1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jpmiZ7zsHXY.htmlsi=DO9x31YCuhjiccIc
I remember not particularly liking his music. I liked it, but my favorite songs I found with other artists. That being said though, he kept being in my ear and I only now know, what I had with his music, that I don’t get songs with that emotional power behind them anymore. Also, while I said I didn’t particularly like his music, some songs stool to my head, this one being among those. I don’t like the thought process and reasoning behind that sentence, to say „I grew up with better music“ but given that I still hear good music every now and then today, but not nearly as often as I used to, maybe I did. Whatever the case may be: Good reaction video!
Very simply, he was going through a bad divorce and this song was the culmination. You can tell by the words it was not good,”if you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.” And he deliberately held the drums back dramatically until about three and a half minutes in the song to drive his point home.
Oh, yeah, this is a good song to start off your discovery of Phil Collins and Genesis. The (ultimately confirmed to be fictional) story behind this is that he's talking about watching the man his wife was cheating on him with drown.
Great reaction - If you want to see what Phil can do on the drums, I highly recommend the beginning of this concert (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cPzrZ-1g-7U.html). He starts with an epic drum session together with his co-drummer Chester Thomson and his percussionist Luis Conte. The transition to the first song (Something happened on the way to heaven) is brilliant and when the brass-section kicks in it gives me goosebumps every time. The whole concert is awsome. If you like you can react to it step by step or just enjoy it off camera - it's a masterpiece. Greetings from Germany
The Song is about a messy divorce…cheating from his wife…he was pissed! Some people don’t know that he is left handed. His drum set is sat up exactly opposite of most. He has retractable drum sticks, watch his hands. You didn’t see the drum sets bc they were on a riser that was lifted up as he was approaching them.
Anyone who is old enough to remember this song on the radio knows this song is a musical ode to his cheating ex wife. You need to google Phil Collin’s music. Keep it going!
Nice but I would make One suggestion: On a live performance, I wouldn't ever cut off before the crowd responds. You're missing an integral piece of the experience, in my mind. There's a reason that video didn't end where you cut it, and that was to hear the crowd and feel the experience. The late Vin Scully, former announcer for the Dodgers, always stopped talking at a big moment to let the audience on the radio or tv hear the crowd roar, as he use to say, "They have a lot more to say than I do."
@@BimuReacts Thank you for acknowledging it. You will feel the emotion yourself if you watch this video again, or other live concerts, provided you truly like the music and are into it yourself.
