This song is a masterpiece. A master class in building suspense, anticipation through music dynamics. Chills, goosebumps. No wonder it's in so many soundtracks.
Why he was so rightly regarded as being a fantastic drummer, when the crowd prematurely start to cheer before he sits at the kit, brilliant live rendition.
The crowd didn’t “prematurely” start to cheer before he sat down at the drums. They saw the drums being slowly lifted up to the higher stage on a platform from the stage below as Phil Collins approached them and it got the crowd even more fired up because they knew what was getting ready to happen…the drum solo we all wait for. Excellent performance beginning to end!!! (You can see at the beginning of the song that the drums aren’t up there and then as he is almost there you can see the platform finish rising just as he reaches it.)
Sounds like a Strat. Looks like a Strat. Maybe a little delay. A very little overdrive. Bottom two pickups. I'm just spitballing here but that's my best guess.
Remember this. Phil Collins and Michael Jackson are the only two artists that sold more than 100M of copies playing alone and more than 100M copies with their bands. Phil is among the greatest musicians ever.
The other person who has sold over 100 million albums as a solo artist and as a member of a band is Sir Paul McCartney of the Beatles. This performance is stellar. Saw him live and phenomenal performance.
*"Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.."* One of the most brutal opening verses in music. For 25 years with the legendary Genesis and a successful solo career, Phil Collins is one the GOATs in music history. Hard to believe this ITAT performance is 19 years old.
I saw Phil Collins in Concert 30 yrs ago. He was awesome. This song was played for the show MIAMI VICE. He never came back to my city. So happy we had free tickets to the show ❤😊😊
people dont understand how difficult it is to smack the drums THAT hard and still sing without skipping a single breath ; like if you close your eyes you wouldnt think he is playing the drums AND singing that flawlesly at the same time, normally when Drummers sing and drum at the time time you can hear it in the singing ; the breath will be interupted cause of the drumming ; but with this performance you can't tell the difference, phil is a legend
The whole performance from start to finish is absolutely fantastic. The build up, the atmosphere, the energy towards the end, his vocals, the stage presence, amazing.
Phil Collins oh my goodness he absolutely crushed that crushed it I remember when this came out I was working as a bartender and I heard this song so many freaking times I could recite it without it ever being on it was continuously played on the jukebox in both bars that I was working in and absolutely loved it still do always will thanks for the reaction I thoroughly enjoyed it 🫶❣✌
If you are 50+, there is no way you can listen to this, and not think of Miami Vice! Seasons 1 & 2 of the original series are worth a watch at any age!
The guy with the beard at the beginning who looks like Gandalf: the superlative bassist Leland Sklar. Lee has said that doing this song live always gave him goosebumps…..
Ive watched no less than 50 reaction videos to this performance and every single time Phil does his drum solo, the people reacting just stop and smile. It can't be helped! He is a genius musician and some people don't realize that he was the lead drummer for Genesis for some time before taking over lead vocals. One of the best drummers to have ever performed!
I dont know how i never saw the live version before like a week or 2 ago even though i had always loved the song and yeah everything so perfect. The build up is amazing and the song always had a very chil relaxing sound before he gets to the drum part. With this performance you can really hear the passion and i love the sort of adlive he does.
I was a kid when Genesis was massive in the 80s, but I didn’t appreciate it until much later how incredible of a songwriter and performer he was. Absolutely one of the all-time greats
Sam & Phil, Phil is one of those special artists that is a legend in their lifetime. I have watched this dozens of times. Phil appears to be just wandering about the set, YET he arrives at the drum kit just at the correct time. His timing is perfect!!!! Many forget that Phil is a drummer.!! Sam, you may not be old enough to remember Miami Vice, but this song was in one of their big scenes.. ENJOY it, it is classic!!!!!.......... Notice the audience's response as he gets to the drums... EPIC........... Was that great or what????
Just stumbled across this and really enjoyed it 😀 It’s not all that obvious in the video, but the drum kit actually lifted up through the floor, just a few seconds before Phil got there! I’m not sure which venue it was but during one particular performance, the drums failed to raise up. Apparently Phil jumped down into them and hit the drums as usual. What a performer! I’m a huge fan of Phil (& Genesis!) and have seen him perform this live on more than once. Sadly Phil wasn’t drumming the last time I saw him (due to health reasons) but his son Nic drummed instead.. and he too is brilliant! Cheers Steve
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.
He's also known as one of the 3 artists that have made more than 100mil both as a band member and a solo artists, the others being Paul McCartney and MJ
It blows my mind that people don’t know this song. lol. Phil Collins was my very first concert ever. I saw him perform in 1985 at a venue called, “Poplar Creek” near Chicago. I was 16. It was phenomenal. He performed this same song walking to the drums and killed it then too. ❤
I grew up listening to the music of Genesis and Phil Colin's. I remember when this song came out I was cruising down the highway with the top down stero blasting at night. I highly recommend it. It's a cruising song. Phil is one of those musical genius I had the pleasure of experiencing in my lifetime. When I saw an MTV video of Phil while playing drums with Genesis singing Turn Me On Again, you just knew the guy was special. What a privilege.
Everything about this performance is fantastic. From the atmospheric buildup at the beginning (including Gandalf the Bass), the arrangement with more prominent guitar part in this version, to the iconic drum drop. Perfection.
The real name of "Gandalf" is Mr. Leland Sklar, a world renowned musician and bass player who has collaborated with a large number of international artists. His discography is just amazing (see wikipedia) He participated in the creation of more than 2500 albums !!!!!!!!!!! He also participated in the creation of soundtracks for films and TV shows. A legend this artist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leland_Sklar (wikipedia)
@@JBletizef thank you for the information. Calling him Gandalf was meant affectionately not to disrespect his achievements/talent. Will read up on him 😀
Phil is truly one of the GOAT's...from his wiki... "Collins's discography includes eight studio albums that have sold 33.5 million certified units in the US and an estimated 150 million records sold worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists.[10] He is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band.[11][12] He has won eight Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards (winning Best British Male Artist three times), two Golden Globe Awards, one Academy Award, and a Disney Legend Award.[13] He was awarded six Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the International Achievement Award. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. He has also been recognised by music publications with induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2013."
I got to see this concert in Oklahoma City Oklahoma in 2004 three months after I got home from being deployed to Afghanistan. It was a bucket list item I loved getting to see. This is hands down the most recognizable drum drop EVER.
Phil is a legend, and has so many bangers. Both in his solo career, and with Genesis. A few of my favorites are; "I don't care anymore". (He wrote this after a very bitter divorce). "Mama". Which is dark and kinda eery. "Land of Confusion". This video is very whimsical but, the lyrics are powerful and poignant. Even all this time later, they still are relevant. Have a great day guys. *oh, ps; I also agree with Phil's opening statement on Samantha's introduction. 😉
Thus song is extremely personal to Phil. Listen carefully to the lyrics. I recommend "Rush" the Limelight . Official video. 3 unmatched incredible musicians. A MIND BLOWING experience. You kids will love it. Enjoy the ride.
I LUV, LUV, LUV, LUV THIS PERFORMANCE!!!!! I'VE SEEN IT SOOOOO MANY TIMES AND IT GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW-- HE'S THE GOAT!!!!!!!
IF YOU TWO DID NOT KNOW, PHIL COLLINS PLAYED LIVE AID IN WEMBLY STADIUM AS WELL AS PHILIDELPIA. HE TOOK THE CONCORDE ACROSS THE OCEAN TO PLAY BOTH SHOWS.GREAT SONG.I REMEMBER THIS SONG WAY BACK IN THE EIGHTIES WHEN IT PLAYED IN THE HUGELY POPULAR MIAMI VICE COP SHOW.{M.G}orig, TORONTO, CANADA.
I 'discovered' Phill Collins and Genesis when I was a teenager. Now I'm 63 y.o. and I still feel goosebumps while listening to this song. Great mister Collins ❤
Phil wrote this during marriage issues so is why the intensity. The original is on a solo album (after he left Genesis) 'Face Value' album & has some other really good tracks. It's always been one of my fav songs.
Is everyone forgetting that the great Don Henley for the eagles has been drumming and singing for decades, you know that Rock and roll Hall of Fame guy
Phil Collins was HUGE in the 80s. So many good songs to choose from, whether it was from Genesis or his solo stuff. Songs like "Land of Confusion", "Sussudio", "Don't Loose My Number", "Two Hearts", "Easy Lover", "Against All Odds", "I Missed Again", "Don't Care Anymore", & his cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" and so many others. Legendary artist.
I am so lucky to be a Gen Xer -- we had so much variety of talent debuting their talents from hip=hop to rock and roll from the 80's thru the 90's! Phil rocks the house!
i'll never forget it. here in germany, 1986, 9:45 p.m., miami vice. a series like a comic, colorful, miami, cool guys, combined with music shot like a music video, never seen like this before. and then this drum kit pops in during a scene. i'm 56 years old now and remember it like it was yesterday.
When this song was first released in 1981, it barely cracked the top twenty of the Billboard Pop Chart. Then the television show “Miami Vice” used this song and made it much more popular. Phil Collins has a catalog of hits from “You Can’t Hurry Love” to “Something Happened On The Way To Heaven “
Phil Collins wrote this in 1983/84 after he discovered his then wife cheating on him. That's why it's still so Raw and Emotional!!! This song appeared on the pilot of Miami Vice in 1984!!!
It doesn't matter how many times I see this performance it will never get old!
Still get chills after the umpteenth view!!
I watch almost every reactors reaction to this video. 😊
Same here…
Rewatched our reaction after uploading and we can totally agree with this statement! 😂
Top 5 song anytime, anywhere, any genre.
I am 63 & I grew up listening to Phil Collins......This is my Favorite video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is a masterpiece. A master class in building suspense, anticipation through music dynamics. Chills, goosebumps. No wonder it's in so many soundtracks.
Why he was so rightly regarded as being a fantastic drummer, when the crowd prematurely start to cheer before he sits at the kit, brilliant live rendition.

*drum fill, not solo
One of the greatest lefthanded drummer, writer ,sing and he funny in the movies
This performance never fails to give me goosebumps.
Big shout out to the guitarist on this song, his tone was perfection on this song!!
Daryl Stuermer is the guitarist.
Sounds like a Strat. Looks like a Strat. Maybe a little delay. A very little overdrive. Bottom two pickups. I'm just spitballing here but that's my best guess.
Well done for not interrupting that drum solo.
Remember this. Phil Collins and Michael Jackson are the only two artists that sold more than 100M of copies playing alone and more than 100M copies with their bands. Phil is among the greatest musicians ever.

This performance is stellar. Saw him live and phenomenal performance.
Of course he made it in time. He was waiting for this moment all his life!
Phil Collins... we must take a moment and appreciate the genius of this performer...
you know, back in the 80s i didnt think much of phil collins, its only now many decades later that i can truly appreciate this masterclass.
*"Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.."* One of the most brutal opening verses in music. For 25 years with the legendary Genesis and a successful solo career, Phil Collins is one the GOATs in music history. Hard to believe this ITAT performance is 19 years old.
In relation to a wife?
@@margaretflounders8510yes, he wrote this about his divorce from his first wife Andrea
that and "I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own 2 eyes" let's you know how much pain he was in when he wrote this
I saw Phil Collins in Concert 30 yrs ago. He was awesome. This song was played for the show MIAMI VICE. He never came back to my city. So happy we had free tickets to the show ❤😊😊
I had to go and watch the Miami Vice scene with this song. Iconic.
First thing I think of as a teen during the best decade ever ....the 80's and Miami Vice!😁😎
@@jeffreydowst4354 same here man ... Sonny and that Ferrari !
@@jeffreydowst4354 all day long ... Elvis is on the boat!
The song is pure rage. The music lacerates. It is a primal scream.
Beautifully described.

And also to sing with that much power, too!
The passion comes through because it’s an autobiographical song for a painful time of his life
The whole performance from start to finish is absolutely fantastic. The build up, the atmosphere, the energy towards the end, his vocals, the stage presence, amazing.
💯
Phil Collins kicked so much ass in the mid-80’s ..he guest stared on Miami Vice like 3-4 times That’s baller!
Anyone who used to watch Miami Vice -- this song epitomized the show's feel.
Miami Vice is exactly where I first heard this song and I remember it being used so perfectly as the soundtrack for that scene. Fire!
every step he took up and down the stage to get to the drums was rehearsed, and timed to the beat. thats showman ship.
Phill Collins is one of my favorite artists and this and another day in paradise are my favorite songs by him! 💖
Phil Collins Is a Musical Legend - Truly Amazing Performance Of This Classic Song.
Ive been waiting,, for those smiles to show, on the first drumbeat!!!!!
Phil Collins oh my goodness he absolutely crushed that crushed it I remember when this came out I was working as a bartender and I heard this song so many freaking times I could recite it without it ever being on it was continuously played on the jukebox in both bars that I was working in and absolutely loved it still do always will thanks for the reaction I thoroughly enjoyed it 🫶❣✌

not even close to the greatest rock drummers, google it
This whole show was GREAT!!
You will never FORGET THIS ONE! So many great songs to choose from…this is absolutely his most phenomenal performance 🎶❤️ Love the music from Genesis.
TOP TIER!

Fun Fact, My cousin has spent a long time touring with Phil Collins amongst others around the World & owns one of Phil Collins’s Drum Kits! 🙂🇬🇧
Phil Collins is a legend. He's from a time when musicians were artists. A performance of a lifetime ❤
Glad I experienced this ❤
He was drummer for his band Genesis. He is one of the best....ever
I was a kid when Genesis was massive in the 80s, but I didn’t appreciate it until much later how incredible of a songwriter and performer he was. Absolutely one of the all-time greats

Phil says he's been playing drums since he was five and in his seventies now 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

One of the greatest songs in human kind existance
Two words for this song. Miami Vice…
Firstly he was the drummer with Genesis and when Peter Gabriel left he stepped up as vocalist!
Thanks for not pausing during the most epic drum solo ever! Goose bumps!
And that's how a real rock star opens a show.
The lyrics are so important, they explain the whole story,

@@House_of_CaineAnd of course Paul McCartney.
also I like land of confusion
Heard the name Genesis before but had no idea Phil Collins was in it!
On a side note He was a collector The Alamo memorabilia. He recently donated his collection to San Antonio and the Alamo.
I so envy you two experiencing these musical gems for the first time. At 59 I still get goosebumps hearing these tunes again 😊
Masterpiece from Phil.🔥
He is a fantastic drummer and a great singer.
He perfectly stuck the landing!
The greatest left-handed drum intro in Rock.
if u google greatest left handed rock drummers, phil colins is not even mentioned. its ur opinion and i respect it
They used to use this song on the original MIAMI VICE television show.
Awesome song, thanks for reacting to this one...

Phil is a living legend !
👍👍👍🇸🇪😎💕
Mr. Collins is an icon in vocal and drum talent. Good choice!
One of the best performances I have ever seen, I have watched it so so often

Saw him perform this live---the place went up for grabs when he did it. He was a terrific performer and a true musical genius.
Its called MUSIC, kids!
And that is what you call an EPIC PERFORMANCE.
I am Philing for Phil,outstanding performance ❤👏
Playing drums and singing while maintaining breath control is notable. Phil Collins is known for this.
Never cheat on a songwriter. They will memorialize you forever.
This number always tak me right back to the Miami Vice time. Brilliant ♥️
I never get tired of watching Phil Collins in concert. He is absolutely incredible!!!!
Everything about this performance is fantastic. From the atmospheric buildup at the beginning (including Gandalf the Bass), the arrangement with more prominent guitar part in this version, to the iconic drum drop. Perfection.

There are so many songs that takes me back to my preteen-teen years but this one has been on the soundtrack for 90% of my life.
Brilliant performance by all!
10:40 mark..."Damn"...sums up the entire song :) Great reaction !
I love the way he strolls off at the end. This is what I do, you’ve either got it or you ain’t. Amazing performance
A superb concert made special by very talented musicians and backing singers 😊
I got to see this concert in Oklahoma City Oklahoma in 2004 three months after I got home from being deployed to Afghanistan. It was a bucket list item I loved getting to see. This is hands down the most recognizable drum drop EVER.
Phil is a legend, and has so many bangers. Both in his solo career, and with Genesis.
A few of my favorites are; "I don't care anymore". (He wrote this after a very bitter divorce).
"Mama". Which is dark and kinda eery. "Land of Confusion". This video is very whimsical but, the lyrics are powerful and poignant. Even all this time later, they still are relevant.
Have a great day guys.
*oh, ps; I also agree with Phil's opening statement on Samantha's introduction. 😉
Mama is fantastic. And No son of mine.
One of my favorite Genesis songs is "Home by the Sea".
Thus song is extremely personal to Phil.
Listen carefully to the lyrics.
I recommend "Rush" the Limelight . Official video.
3 unmatched incredible musicians. A MIND BLOWING experience. You kids will love it. Enjoy the ride.
I LUV, LUV, LUV, LUV THIS PERFORMANCE!!!!! I'VE SEEN IT SOOOOO MANY TIMES AND IT GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW-- HE'S THE GOAT!!!!!!!
I've always wondered what the subject of this song thought when they first heard it.!
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
IF YOU TWO DID NOT KNOW, PHIL COLLINS PLAYED LIVE AID IN WEMBLY STADIUM AS WELL AS PHILIDELPIA. HE TOOK THE CONCORDE ACROSS THE OCEAN TO PLAY BOTH SHOWS.GREAT SONG.I REMEMBER THIS SONG WAY BACK IN THE EIGHTIES WHEN IT PLAYED IN THE HUGELY POPULAR MIAMI VICE COP SHOW.{M.G}orig, TORONTO, CANADA.
Another song I can´t watch without getting tears in my eyes... 😍 Great reaction, guys!! Thank you!
Thank you too!
I 'discovered' Phill Collins and Genesis when I was a teenager. Now I'm 63 y.o. and I still feel goosebumps while listening to this song. Great mister Collins ❤
Love the anticipation/buildup with audience hand clap participation 💜
Phil wrote this during marriage issues so is why the intensity. The original is on a solo album (after he left Genesis) 'Face Value' album & has some other really good tracks. It's always been one of my fav songs.
This muuuuusic, amazing. You never need a joint or other stuffs by music like this music! This music saves my life.
Is everyone forgetting that the great Don Henley for the eagles has been drumming and singing for decades, you know that Rock and roll Hall of Fame guy
Ya really lately he's being blowing up for lip sync accusations
One of the very best drummers in music history. So sad he's no longer able to do it.
Phil Collins was HUGE in the 80s. So many good songs to choose from, whether it was from Genesis or his solo stuff. Songs like "Land of Confusion", "Sussudio", "Don't Loose My Number", "Two Hearts", "Easy Lover", "Against All Odds", "I Missed Again", "Don't Care Anymore", & his cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" and so many others. Legendary artist.
Land of Confusion was a Genesis song, written by Mike Rutherford.
One of only 3 people to sell over 100million albums as a solo artist and with a band. The 2 others are McCartney and Jackson.
I am so lucky to be a Gen Xer -- we had so much variety of talent debuting their talents from hip=hop to rock and roll from the 80's thru the 90's! Phil rocks the house!
I’m now 72 and still love listening to all his music ❤️
One of the greatest live singers ever and I absolutely love this song what a great musician he is
Phil is a legend. Period. ❤
Up the stairs, wait for it!

Interesting, I didn’t know when this was. Just posted a comment re: Miami Vice. Bought the CDcollection about 5yrs ago. It was like Christmas 🎅 😂
Timeless
As soon as the drums hits that’s it erupting everywhere goosebumps all over
Phil Collins wrote this in 1983/84 after he discovered his then wife cheating on him. That's why it's still so Raw and Emotional!!! This song appeared on the pilot of Miami Vice in 1984!!!
One of the greatest performances
i was born in 1974... and this is one of my top all time favorite songs. sending love from chattanooga tn.
