      I live in a world where this drum solo is the most necessary breakdown of all time, as is the guitar solo that builds up at the start of Don’t Stop Believing. Just need to nail down the Bass and Vocal Solos. It’s a bit tougher for those two.

      Collins has always been an incredibly gifted artist, and always primarily as a drummer, often regarded as 1 of the top 25 of all time for his virtuoso of atypical time signatures, but whom could also sing, write, & produce. Seeing him live as a solo artist 2x let alone 1x with Genesis are easily still now in my early 50s a couple of the best concert shows I've ever attended.

    @VerchielxKanda Год назад +73

    The main reason(besides it being that it's a Phil Collins concert) that this was so massive, is because it was his farewell tour. It's people's last time to see this master of his craft perform live. Phil has increasing spinal problems and those problems have prevented him from doing the thing he most loves...play the drums.
    He was going through a horrible divorce proceeding when he wrote this song out of anger. His wife had cheated on him when he was out touring.
    I definitely recommend songs from Genesis. Especially Land Of Confusion. Phil did both singing and drums.

      Actually this concert is from 2004 and was from the "First Final Tour" in a tongue-in-cheek mocking of musicians who say a tour will be their last but go on tour for years/decades to come. Phil was quite healthy in 2004 and had no intention of it being his last tour, as the tour name clearly suggests. He was a long time away from his current unfortunate health condition and did in fact tour up until a few years ago.

I didn’t understand why. After he ended his own life it became clear to me. He couldn’t save all his soldiers and couldn’t live with it. He was a combat medic, it hurt me so much but he saw me and my family through our successes in life before he ended his own life on his own terms. I’m a vet like him and the VVA’s were the most supportive. Love you Vets.

    I literally never, EVER get tired of watching someone see this video for the first time. YES, my friend. He plays the drums. And, this is pretty much at the end of his drumming career (which is TRAGIC) because he now has so much pain that he can no longer hit the kit. It may be my imagination, but I feel like I can see the physical pain in his face when he picks up those sticks and starts slamming. This entire performance -- by everyone -- is legend, imho. And, the zen dude with the white beard is Leland Sklar, another musical legend.

    Phil Collins is a legend… get chills every time I hear this song! Loved the reaction… I always smile when people hear that drum solo for the first time!! And yes… you need to listen to them all live… his voice and performances are always best in front of a live crowd. I Can’t Dance, Another Day In Paradise and Easy Lover are three you should check out. 🖤

    Phil collins had two incarnations, as the drummer and lead singer of Genesis. Also he had a very successful solo career. With reacting to this song you have opened up a huge rabbit hole. So many hits. I don’t know where to begin. One of my fav songs of his was Against All Odds. You’ll Be in My Heart. Sussuidio. Don’t Lose My Number. Invisible Touch. Hold On My Heart. Do You Remember? I could go on and on. Def check out his music. You won’t be sorry

    WATCH: Not just this concert footage which rises above expectation but also the scene from Miami Vice in how it's used.
    You truly are missing something if don't.
    This 'was' supposed to be Collins last tour (it wasn't). Recently it was as he's physically becoming immobile from health conditions.
    Phil's concert piece was stunning visually & musically watching him perform. Seeing the massive crowd is a jolt bringing in the love/anticipated emotion for supposedly his farewell tour.
    No that wasn't the introduction to his song.
    As many know, musicians/singers create add suspense to the intro so audience is unsure what's going to be played & aids in staging time gives the artist(s) time to get readied to go out. They also use lighting to hype up the suspense for the entrance. Right when Collins steps out is where the original song does begin.

    Collins is a percussionist. He did write & compose this song.
    There's a lot of percussion you may not realize is present already on the stage before his entrance (another drum set, cymbals, congas, & timbale). For this song, he played all the instruments in the studio including all the percussion laying the tracks then had other musicians play it live.
    Collins didn't just play with Genesis as the rock band's drummer, he did background vocals. Then became both drummer/soloist (which is crazy to be able to sing/drum simultaneously). After left group to be solo, he toured as a soloist & was known to have more percussion accompanying him. Additionally, he's did stage ensemble work too (Pick Up the Pieces). What I also will state, he was one of the artists t first use & introduce synthesizers when were in infancy stage. Although widely used, there wasn't always experimentation as he did using his music background. Sadly, he's had hearing loss, issues with nerves/tendonitis & spinal issues. The last tour just completed, but he couldn't do the drumming. His son did it for him & he mostly sat in a chair.

    Percussionist
    Started drumming at an early age. He attended a Fame-like school in England which also strengthened his voice. During time enrolled managed do a few movie roles & did musicals. Once graduated, he answered a tryout for Genesis. He got fame being a professional drummer/backup vocalist for the rock group. Peter Gabriel (Sledgehammer) was the lead then left the group to solo. Many may not know but Collins/Gabriel have similar style voices.
    Genesis spent time auditioning for a replacement for Gabriel. They couldn't find anyone having a similar sound. Not thinking the group never heard Collins sing solo on his own to realize he had a similar style. They chose Collins & rest is history. Not only was he a very good percussionist & but while singing he kept the group on beat. That's exactly why he's amazing singing & is on the beat. Keep in mind known for his drum solos while singing! This meant, he sang ALL the Genesis songs while playing drums! He then went on to do some solo work (still close to the band).
    This was not the only 'hit' song since soloing. it became one of his fans favorite from the result of the marketing from the TV show 'Miami Vice'. That made it more open to a bigger audience watching the premiere episode of the show.
    Reason behind song
    The life of a musician can be hard on a marriage. He was married with 2 kids. Collins had been on a long tour & the distance helped erode his marriage. When returned home, he discovered that his wife already had left w/ the kids & was in the process of divorcing him. Communication between them was very hostile & toxic. He also had a lot of downtime in-between tours. He was spent a lot of time writing & recording to deal with this surprise divorce & alienation. He was depressed, had constant arguments w/ soon to be ex-wife & terribly alone not used to being by himself. He wrote this song during the fits of anger/depression & impulsivity. (Interesting his ex-wife was not amused about the song feeling uncomfortable he wrote it towards her & their private situation making it public. Now being it's a huge hit, no longer cares about that but the revenue streaming in.)
    There wasn't a plan or reason to the words it just came out of him. The drum solo he kept playing different drum fills on the recording takes. It was luck of the draw & timing he chose that one.
    This particular song was out prior to the show. It got added for filler for a TV pilot show (Miami Vice). It triggered such a strong reaction it started a trend where many current contemporary hits (including Rap) were incorporated into soundtracks for TV/movies to fit a mood. There had been music in the background, but not as strong as this was punched/featured.
    The setup: TV show based out of 1980s neon Miami. Atmosphere; wealthy, pretty girls in bikinis, Latin influence, European popular vacation spots & pastel colors. Miami at that time was known for its vicious gangsters, crime/drugs coming in from South & Latin Americas. It showed other than NYC & LA a strange criminal underworld. It re-introduced Miami to the rest of the country not only as a vacation get away but also to live there.
    We see various mixtures of characters in supporting roles in the under cover drug task force (including James Olmos). Crockett & Tubbs were the lead undercover police officers. These 2 main leads were a pairing of an odd couple. Crockett's been undercover for a while, is a little loose & reckless. He recently lost a partner. He lives on a houseboat with his pet alligator Elvis. He drives a confiscated black 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona, commonly known as the Ferrari Daytona Spyder. Tubbs is more uptight to the rules & more conscientious.
    The famous music scene:
    It's around dusk, they've been waiting for a criminal meet w/ the 'big' guy. Something happened as someone's been killed/injured & a person's been arrested. Minutes later, they get the phone call from one of their 'connections' to drive to the meeting point. They have no clue if been found out & what to expect at the meeting.
    Crockett gets in to drive the Ferrari, while Tubbs sits in the passenger seat. The top is down. All the while going to the site, this song is playing loudly in the background. It sets the tone of unease, suspense & nervousness. While driving, it changes to nighttime as the breeze goes through the car. Exception of a few words, they're silently passing on busy streets becoming that more industrialized & isolated to end they get out of the car.
    ruclips.net/video/-aMCzRj3Syg/видео.html
    I saw the pilot. It blew my mind how one song just fit a scene. Over the years, I used to drive hundreds of miles to go home. I wore this out for about 5 years as I drove through the night. It fit the mood as I was driving through some not nice neighborhoods of the Bronx to get onto I-80 & go the 400 miles home. Hours driving miles in darkness being sometimes the only one on the road hit was the mood as I listened.
    Miami Vice was also unique in that many pop singers appeared on the show.
    FYI:
    Phil Collins (himself), Sheena Easton, Glenn Frey, Gene Simmons, Leonard Cohen, Ted Nugent, Little Richie, Barbara Streisand, Frank Zappa, Willie Nelson, James Brown, Miles Davis, The Power Station, Isaac Hayes, Jan Hammer (wrote the Miami Vice theme).
    Lyrics:
    I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
    And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
    Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
    Well, if you told me you were drowning
    I would not lend a hand
    I've seen your face before my friend
    But I don't know if you know who I am
    Well, I was there and I saw what you did
    I saw it with my own two eyes
    So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
    It's all been a pack of lies
    And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
    Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
    I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
    Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
    Well I remember, I remember don't worry
    How could I ever forget
    It's the first time, the last time we ever met
    But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
    No you don't fool me
    The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
    It's no stranger to you and me
    I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
    Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
    I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
    Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
    I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
    And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
    I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
    Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
    I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
    Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord

    This song was featured prominently in the original "Miami Vice" television series. Sometimes it was used to open the show. Was released in the early to mid 80's. Definitely one of his biggest hits, may have been his solo debut, as he was a member of Genesis prior to going solo. Insanely talented percussionist. His health, sadly, is fading fast now. He can no longer play drums.

    He was 53 years old when he did this concert in Bercy, Paris in 2004. Truly an amazing performance by Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizers, Vocoder), Daryl Stuermer (6 String Guitar), Leland Sklar (Bass Guitar), Chester Thompson ("Rhythm" Drums) and Phil himself (vocals, drums). It was performed in front of 20,000 + people at the "Palais Omnisport de Paris" and truly was, if not the greatest, close to the greatest live performance ever. It was from his "Finally... The First Farewell" Tour and this particular concert in Bercy started with an amazing "Drums, Drums & More Drums" track performed by Phil and his other drummer, the previously mentioned Mr. Thompson. Incidentally, this track ("In the Air Tonight") was the 17th in the tracklist sandwiched between Separate Lives and Dance into the Light. Phil had the energy he had in this song all the way through to the end of the concert (as did his musicians). Now that he can no longer drum, his son NIcholas plays drums almost as well as the old man did--literally--Phil is in his 70's now. His son was on the Domino tour with Genesis recently. Oh and of course, his daughter Lily is rapidly becoming a famous actress in her own right. So, he's still doing alright I suppose (tongue in cheek).

    I was 12 when this song was released in 1981. The 1980s was a different era, so much in the world seemed to be so much easier than today. Listening to Phil Collins and this song now, as a mature 54 year old man, is pure nostalgia; so many great childhood memories with all of my friends... To every teenage boy and girl out there, cherish every moment you live because you have no idea how fast time flies. In a blink of an eye you have turned 40... and another blink and you are 50... Do good and enjoy the art, the music and fun stuff in life. Live your life to the fullest and never let fear take over and rule you. Always strive to be better, to develop and raise to higher levels. Life here on Earth is shorter than you think, always push yourself to new heights, and remember to have fun. Great music is a great start. Phil Collins is and was a phenomenal musician, songwriter and producer. I miss the 80s... and my youth. Love each other!
