Phil Collins: In the Air Tonight 

😂

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah needed that laugh thanks

@mrbrockpeters Eric Cantona too

@mrbrockpeters Eric "the king" cantona

onemorebrando he’s one of the greatest musicians of all time singing one of the greatest songs and you’re commenting on his collar?? 🧐🧐🧐

ALL his life...heck I don't even play drums and I'm waiting to play that solo too! lol

Oh Lord...lol

💪🏽🤜🏾

meh too.

I guess He could feel it coming in the air that night though

And Questlove KILLS it! What's the most amazing to me is that Questlove does a 2-drummer part all by himself. If you look back at all the live versions of this song, you usually see a drummer keeping rhythm & Phil doing the iconic roll and all the fills that come afterwards. Very impressive

@@gedbeat15 No, no he doesn't.

@@akiraakai yes he does, bitch.

@Michael O'Connell one bar solo

Chills everytime

I felt Questlove was not breathing while hes doing the drums but after seeing Phil's reaction towards him damn you gota check that one on the bucket list!

Great comment! With all this racism going on like the 18oos it was good to see life long Liberal Phil and Q do their thing.

Oh for sure. This is an iconic song and those drums are def one of the most well known in our lifetime. And to perform it with Phil Collins...that shit is dope.

You might say he's been waiting for that moment all his life.

Luke Shoewalker yep!!

Arthur Morgan after that solo he cracked a big smile 😂👏🏾

@@tyshearatv6148 Yea I noticed it too.

I gave you all I had dutch

It is every Musician's dream.

It is every musician’s dream

Even more heartbreaking that he caused nerve damage in his neck while performing for fans.

It’s aging 😂😂😂😂 duh that’s life

@@sanaaniz no, he’s in bad health, not just old

​@@sanaanizhe has diabetes,on top of the neck injury.

@@sanaaniz What's your reply? It's not age , he is in bad health.

its like the hurt doesnt show...but the pain still grows

@@mofoslappinfool it’s no stranger to youuu and me GUHGUH GUHGUH GUHGUH GUHGUH GUH GAH DOOM

I saw that to...poor man he still continues to sing like it's nothing here to..

What's wrong with him?

@@mi4cain315 severe spinal issues. He can’t play the drums anymore

Megan Miller can hardly blame him haha you can be the best drummer on the planet and the pressure would still be the same. Well done to Quest for smashin it!

Yeah, he had that big grin after he got through it. Nailed it!

@Gossip Girl and you're an ignorant piece of shit so i can see why you're so racist🤷🏾‍♀️

real shit

has to be a big deal for questlove ... his smile at the end :)

Yer Boi I love that part of the song

Quest had been freaking out on social media the days before the performance...Jimmy even messed w/ him during the interview w/ Collins :)))

Quest must have been so stoked to been able to do that

Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love♥️ and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?

What's amazing is when it first came out, it didn't come near the top of the charts. Maybe 19 or so. It became a better and more popular as the years have passed. It's absolutely timeless.

with a popped collar!

first thing I noticed. I like it, Phil Collin's doesn't give a fuck.

Jon Gordon totally made me lol

Phil deserves to not give a fuck!

Jon Gordon Collar popped too

Mason V. same

Mason V. same here. He rocks!

you could not have said it better

Facts👍🏼

He is so creative too. Wrote the music and the lyrics.

@@ethanweeter2732 Of course he did! He should have already won a Kennedy Center Honor! He even produced Eric Clapton, Chaka Kahn, worked w/Sting & also produced & played the drums on album & toured w/Led Zeppelin lead singer after Jon Bonham passed. Then, Jason Bonham played for Phil. You should read his book, Not Dead Yet!

Franco Barrios agreed

Wow.. This is kinda weird I was just thinking that and hit the page down button to comment, legitimately thinking I would be the only one to feel that way and yours was the first comment I saw. So many people complain when these singers don't sound the exact same. I love the fact that he still went out there and sang live. Also Questlove's smile was adorable.

I think I hear the lack of teeth more than the age.

I agree. I love the fact he sounds older. There are so many great singers who we don't get to experience them still singing. Some because they passed away and others because of health issues and some (if not many) because they know people will give then crap for not sounding the same . I know Phil is seen as one of the greatest drummers and for him to get up there still sing and let someone else take over one of his most iconic drumming parts is awesome.

Everyone sounds different when they're old and sing, that's just part of life but Phil is still good

Collins'

@@sinanengininsrmasaclar1439 Just Collins. You wouldn't say "Phil Smith' looks like....."

Actually it’s Collins’s

He sounds like it too. Missing the angst and anger behind his lyrics. Or maybe it’s that I’ve listened to too many covers.

@@clevelandbci9562 okay pal

Living Legend!!!!!!

Always!

Class never dies it is passed on :-)

Absolutely! Singing one of the best songs EVER! Welcome back Phil!

Rai Alvis yessir

Mark is a racist hating piece of shit

That cymbal work was fricken amazing. Anyone that does Phil justice is great.

Och come on, you just can not screw this part! that would be a heavy sin

Its every drummers dream to h>t that part

You could say he'd been waiting for this moment for all his life.

efrenmarquez8228 Totally agree. Until the drums come in it’s his guitar that’s iconic.

Agreed but this song, as a whole, is composed and written so well. So much build up to the drum solo of rage.

One of my favorite and underrated guitar players for sure

Absolutely said that from the beginning. That guitar is on point before the drums.

But no one can deny Phil as a drummer Legend

ty

4:08

3:23 without all the buildup just isnt the same. Listen from the beginning!!

​DO DUM DO DUM DO DUM DO DO DO DO DUM

Idont like the drum play

Phil Collins is not underrated... to be one of the three musicians in history to sold over 150 million album units separately both as a band member and a solo artist (the other 2 is Michael jackson and Paul MCartney)... he is a LEGEND.

He isn't underrated, just you dont know it, he's rich as heck....

of course mens pitch increases with age but he still does a great job here

@neogeomaster That'd be a delay that the sound person is adding to the output mix.

@neogeomaster fuck off

This is my favorite from his other types of performances.

That too after 40 years. ❤

kimber taylor "he's been waiting for this moment all his life" 😂

For real and he nailed it

Oscar Buonafina one handed at that!

kimber taylor he killed it to girl!

Impatiently*

That's cuz Questlove was nervous but he nailed it!!

Tuddec Not something you hear very often during Tonight Show live performances.

@Phil Collins thats too shallow🤣 “send me an email saying you appreciate me” bot

@@59Fif 🕵😂

It's a Drum Fill (Roll) aka. Drum Phil 😅

I didn't doubt nor did his band mates doubt he would nail it. Quest is no joke

That’s his son

BEST DRUM SOLO EVER!!! It may be small but it is MIGHTY!!!

finbeard well spoken.

This is a great comment!

I agree wholeheartedly

Listen to the live aid version. That is a musical masterclass

finbeard He has adapted well, that's how you know he's not just a natural

Mike Tyson

Yes at 3:32 he smiled so cute

heatherlynn bless I wish he was drumming though

I saw on CBS Sunday morning new he has an injury to his wrist.

It really does doesn't it.....wave of nostalgia right there.

keen Oh that's why

who told the house wives about youtube

One pop collar cool! Oh Lord!

Phil Collins never left the 80s/early 90s. Even when he was featured in a video game in the mid-2000s, he STILL somehow ended up being in the 80s. It's a gift.

Phil collins version of an anime person adjusting their glasses

I CAN FEEL IT COMIN' IN THE AIR TONIGHT, OH LORD!!!

Scarface Phil Collin, "hold my beer"

😂

And what a band.

Hello Theresa , how are you doing?

I am agree with you. 80s was the best times, best girls, best music, best movies, best cars and people was better than today...

I'm not from 80s but I've played GTA Vice city stories

You deserve a ride on the first Time Travel Machine - when it's invented - for this comment ! : )

nah you just one old bitch

@@vishishify Talk to people properly

If you watched the whole show, he WAS freaked a bit about blowing it...therefore the crowds' reaction when he did!

Fletcher Hatcher or you can just leave him to whatever what he wants his name to be. that works too.

Like "Prince", "Madonna", "Moby", "Fatboy Slim" or any other musician that has a stage name. All terrible, right?

You can also see some relief there too. That part is fast and DEMANDS precision and PERFECT timing and you GOT to FEEL it. If any of those components are missing, it's going to sound like a cheap imitation.

Siddharth Kamath He is feeling better, I am praying he picks the sticks back up.

Have you ever even heard of Questlove?

I'm sure he has. It's not the same kind of music though. People that listen to Phil Collins don't really care about The Roots.

The Roots are a great band, and I'm probably one of the few that enjoy both, but I am super psyched to see Phill back up there singing!

+Tyler Spunucious well I have always liked both, so you aren't correct

Pause...

Why do i agree with you.....

I have no idea

Pause my guy

I wish the best for you, my friend.

I'm praying for you, God be with you and your family 🙏

Well he did until his final concert ever recently.

@@shahaffiq5860 Not in that key and not with that energy. His ability to do the tune in this key (already quite a bit lower than the OG) is long gone.

Imagine how many times he played that as a kid and finally getting to do it in front of literally the whole world

Sounds as awesome as ever.

@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525 I hope i die before i get old.

Same💕

Agreed. It was somewhat painful to see how phrasing and being in key was a struggle. Sometimes it’s better to leave memories intact.

Same. His music will forever be tied to my childhood. My heart beats a little differently when I hear this song especially.

The look on his face "Oh man, I didn't f--k it up!" You could tell he'd obviously been sweating this one. It's one of the most iconic drum fills of the 1980s, but no pressure! Anyways, he nailed it.

mightymartianca Nah, I think it's THE drum fill of the 80s. Instantly fills you with 80s vibes and it's instantly timeless as well.

Yes I think so because I came.

Watching the show with the previous couple of episodes, Questlove was sweating buckets. He didn't want to jinx it. I'm sure you are correct, that was probably top on his bucket list.

I think Quest played it safe 'not' to fuck it up. You could tell he was a bit stiff for that part. Cant say I blame him.

That must have been an amazing experience for him. It does not get better than playing drums for Phil.

Chris Thomson even if it is not a complicated drum play, he was playing for Phil Collins... The man himself is a drummer, and with everyone expecting Questlove to play it as awesome as it should be, that's a lot of over-whelming peer pressure. To screw up even the slightest, would mean brand nation of every low class name for a long time.

Chris Thomson I think it's more about that he was the first to do it and he has been very unwell.

This is not like some " on / off " thing, " doing it, or not doing it " you realize the kick drum is also heavily involved in the ' fill ' 3:25 The double kick drum with the toms, you can do it with a single drum stick, but to get the feel with the kick drum into the fill, and doing it as tightly as Questlove did, is actually very hard. you seem to believe that a avarage drummer with 10 years experience, would be able to play this with all the nuances that were in this performance. you obviously know very little of music. maybe at some point, you will also start to notice the subtle nuances that sets apart mediocre musicians from good musicians.

Yeh, I've played the drums since I was nine years old and can confirm it's really not that hard. (Even with the kick) Not that I'm dissing Phil or Questlove, got mass respect for both.

Naomi Mendes wow

Naomi Mendes I couldn't help myself. A true icon.

Naomi Mendes #SAMEHERE

Naomi Mendes WHO IS HE LOL

I mean no disrespect to Phil, as he is one of my all-time favorite artists, and I can't even imagine the struggles he has gone through with the nerve issues and learning to walk and drum again. That said, I think he's still got a little ways to go before his voice is in prime shape.

His music will never die. Hes a straight legend!

@Yankee Fan 11 years ago.. and it could be recorded even earlier. probably in 2004. he did a lot of live shows around that time.

He is doing very good for his age, a lot of other singers from that era don’t sound the same. Phil has mostly sound the same. Look at all rose for example, he’s still amazing but not what he was at all. Bon Jovi as well, but he just sounds different still very good.

Has nothing to do with his age. He hurt his back. It's gotten progressively worse since its appearance. If you don't know, all singers do know, if you hurt your back it's incredibly difficult to sing. You need to really puff up your lungs to push those notes, sustain those notes. You can't do that with a bad back. I've had it happen to me back when I was singing with a band. It's a nightmare.

@@heronpage3883 thanks for that comment. Having studied voice for a bit and being in a family of musicians (including vocalists) I understand the physical requirements to sing. It ain’t easy and injury can take a toll.

Alejandro Méndez well he actually in the game too in a few missions and sing in the game

First time i heard it was on the Cadbury ad with the gorilla playing the drums.

Old times.......... :(

Same bro

awevo yo lo jugue en PSPy salir la rola completa, incluso sale el Phil en nade las misiones

I work straightening saw blades. Whenever we hear this song play a few us take two cut pieces and bang on the scrap drum.

I used to work for a Production Company that provided stage, PA, and Lighting for Concerts. Around the year 2002 we were providing everything for a Clearchannel/Budweiser Summer Concert Series. We ordered a whole brand new Yamaha drum kit for Questlove. Very expensive kit. I un-boxed everything. The only drums he used was Kick drum, Snare, Hi hat, Floor tom, and 2 Symbols. That's all he used, and he was badass. He can do it with less.

What about Ricky Lawson's one note solo ?

Catherine Dore With good reason, Collins is an amazing drummer. I would imagine that Genesis etc. had some amount of impact on his development of the craft.

I would be nervous as hell. Those drums are trademark of this song and performing it infront of the guy who wrote them... Hands down.

I would be too! Collins is a great drummer and an amazing song writer..... to have the chance to perform with this guy would be such an honor.....

Of course. That could have been the end of a career as a drummer to screw up that drum solo playing with Collins.

#perfectscore

mrfundah oh lord!

Amy I know right?! It’s like no time has passed at all!

The great one's don't age

haha I was about to post that

lol

lol watched it twice ...yup nice pick up ....classic song ..love when the drums kick in..

watch the clip for "Sussudio" he makes an appearance at the beginning on the bar

Hahahahahahaha

And Phil F@#%ing Collins’s popped collar.

@@UncoordinatedPixie the popped collar is clearly the best part lol

Fuck these young people. They don't deserve an introduction to PC. Shut the fuck up.

Not all young people Iare like that i love his music

@@KH4444444444N not all young people are ignorant about him. He’s before my time but I love his voice and talent. He is the voice of Disney for me ❤️

What hard part? Haha. The genius of this song is in the simplicity, any one taking drum lessons for a few months can play this.

@@beastmry I think it was more playing an iconic song with the guy who wrote it right there.

u hv a good ear. i meann good ears

one in a million heard it too , who didnt lol

With age comes experience

His voice is so much stronger here than on his subsequent tour..

His third marriage really caused him grief. Too bad,

well phill is goated for a while now..

Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love♥️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?

way to copy a comment posted 6 months before this xD

Drastic Skillz British? 😷

Drastic Skillz I love you now

LOL

Drastic Skillz amazing I love this song

I don’t think he’s elderly - There are marathon runners in their 90s. Age is only a number and its relative. He did awesome here.

Agree

Makes us realise we have gotten older too 😙 where did be it go?

@curragh 42 Yet he's still singing in the same key
