In my opinion, this is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, so much emotion, his voice needs very little help. One of my favorite songs of all time.
I dont care WHO you are.. WHAT RACE , GENDER, RELIGION, WHATEVER kind of Music that your into......ETC ETC.. 09:01 This Drum fill UNITES THE EARTH....PERIOD You GOT TO make that "STANK FACE" along with PHIL!!!!
@@Mahlercougar race etc isnt an issue for me ,idiots is the issue ,music cant fix stupid , im sick of people saying " unite race blah blah faking blah " only idiots mention race instead of mentioning individual fuckwads
I love watching your reaction towards the end of Phil’s song. The excitement on your face is priceless. You are one of those people that doesn’t just hear or listen to music, you feel the music deep in your soul. It’s a part of you. I’m the same way.
I am so shocked, many are now saying this is their first time listening to Phil Collins? Where has folks been! Been listening to him since I was very young, Im 63 now.......Love me some Phil!
I'm 67 years old and even though I love all types of music from all eras, the music of the 70s and 80s is the music that entwines my heart and soul. The best years of my life. Most of the family and friends from those years have passed, whether from illness or age, but when I hear the songs, I'm back with them; healthy and laughing and loving life. I enjoy seeing you and others of your generation - and those even younger - experiencing and appreciating the talent that came before you. Thank you for your videos.
I'm 27 myself, and I only heard Phil Collins when I was 6. I'm so grateful that there were people who came before me who produced something like this, for my generation and others to be inspired and strengthened by.
Insecure people will always try to break others down to lift themselves up. Don't pay attention to them and stay focused on yourself and your life then they will have no power to obtain from you and they sulk away back to the shadows.
_"Insecure people will always try to break others down to lift themselves up."_ No. Some of them may do that. But just because somebody is insecure doesn't mean he is an asshole, like you're trying to say.
@@dxb8086 You're right, I stand corrected. I'll rephrase it to say that there are many insecure people who will often times try to break you down to lift themselves up.
@@dxb8086 I get what he meant. He didn't mean all insecure people put others down, he meant those who do put others down are insecure in themselves. Trying to hold others back, and not liking them succeeding because it reminds them that maybe they're not achieving what they wanted themselves.
I could have chosen to listen to any of the young people doing these reaction videos but I was drawn to you because of your spirit. I like your presentation and I like you! You’re going to have a great life!
January 1981 Phil wrote, produced and performed this single in a very subdued UK environment with 'some' attention but not at the the level it's risen to today. The concert we're watching here was at the Palais Omnisports Paris Bercy, in June 2004. At the beginning he recalls a meeting with someone for whom he obviously has no respect (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. I was there and I saw what you did...saw it with my own two eyes (In his mirror). So you can wipe off that grin...I know where you been. It's all been a pack of lies.) He's referring, of course, to himself and not to some imaginary other. His lowest point in life (drowning) through his answered prayers for success (I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord) to his eventual stardom (I've been waiting for this moment all my life) brought him here to share with you and me the one thing that we're all afraid of...failure vs success. The melody is haunting, the atmosphere follows suit, the lyrics touch all of our hearts and the climax is...well, you tell me!
This is the best live performance that I have ever come across of this song. Phil Collins has such talent! I wish he was still performing, but his health isn't the best nowadays. We will soon be losing so many of the great talents of the 60-70's era.
You have 50’s,60,’s,70’s,80’s,90’s, 00’s,10’s to enjoy. Born in 1952 Hubby and I (Boomers) have lived through life with the music of the world as our musical score! Enjoy Millennials, Farewell . Peace and Love: Baby Boomers!
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).
Wow! I just realized I've been listening to Phil Collins since my college days, in the early 80's! This song is 40+ years old! And! It Still Blows My Mind!
For me, this song reminds me of my youth, when anything was possible, & exploring what the world had to offer, & falling in love with all types of music!!! 😊 And oh ya, air drum solo anyone!!! 😊 Phil Collins is BRILLIANT!!!
The first time I heard this song in the 80's was on a first date with an incredibly handsome man..we were driving on a summers night with the convertible top down and this song blasting....when the drum beat hit, i felt like I was flying!!! Will never forget it. Such an iconic song.
Phil Collins walks with a cane now and cannot stand for long periods. He sings sitting in a chair but the the stage persona and voice remain. He is a legend. This song is iconic and Phil is iconic. Only one Phil Collins.
Well I’ve never seen a live performance of that song before and what a treat that was. I loved the cheer when he made it to the drum kit. One thumb down from someone who I bet can’t play a tambourine
I saw Phil Collins live in 1985 and he played this song. It was the most powerful live experience I've ever had. Saw him again 2 years ago and this song still gives me chills. Tho he doesn't play the drums anymore, he still gives a powerful performance in this song. He's the reason I learned to play drums. Great reaction!
The ladies get "You Oughta Know", by Alannis Morissette, and us fellas get "In The Air Tonight". Everyone needs a release for that kind of pain. Jeezes that was one hell of a vocal performance!. Son of a........Thanks, Phil
It has taken me almost all of my 60 years to not care what other people think about me. I'm so happy you are learning that at a younger age. None of those people have ANY IDEA what you are capable of accomplishing. Keep going - you are enriching MANY people's lives by what you are doing here on this channel.
I think all the drum manufacturers should pay Phil a "royalty" for each set sold. I mean - imagine how many people he inspired to go out and be a drummer after they heard this.
Every time this song comes on the radio while driving in the car with my husband and gets to the infamous drum solo part he has to do the" Miami Vice shifting gears" please tell me I'm not the only one who endures this lol , But Great song love Phil Collins , he has some really good songs.
Notice how these artists knew how to build the crowds up and how they use lights , and music and how they come on stage and how the enteract with the crowd. Notice his expressions and way he sung playing to the crowd. The artists in the 70s and 80s knew how play the crowd and be part of them and make them feel part of the show and Collins was a pro at it
Was running an errand the morning of my wedding in '81. This song comes on the radio. First time that day I lost it! Also I'm always amazed by drummers who sing. Imagine trying to keep the beat and sing at the same time.
"Record with your eyes" True! Top Man I enjoy your reactions to some of the music I was raised on, I admire your honesty and your humbleness. Stay safe my friend.
Jill Kona As far as I know I think they announced ten arena tour in only the UK, they might come to where you live if your outside of the UK you never know.
I was told alot that I would not make it thru Ranger training. I Retired as a Master Sargent in the 75th Ranger Regiment. You can achieve anything you set your heart and soul to.
James, you are there, along with millions of others, feeling the words of disrespect dragging them down, especially young people who are not the loud brash false bravado kind. Be proud of your sensitivity, your lack of cruelty. You are a deep thinker, now finding your own voice and meaningful words , and so many of us value and respect you, and really like you - exactly as you are. Love from a 70 year old in Ireland. Slainte.
This is one of the songs I crank up, because I want others to feel what I feel from the song...........its just the way the music or the songs touches me! Now this, I can just listen to the instrumental version all day long.......
The first time I saw this performance, I nearly had an anxiety attack. He's just casually strolling along the stage, no where near the drums. Um, Phil? Ya wanna hurry it up there? You're about to miss your own drum solo, buddy. :-P
During the "Dance Into the Light" tour in 97, that almost happened. His drum tech is a friend of mine and told me that, at one show, the hydraulic lift for his "In the Air Tonight" kit didn't work...he had to literally jump DOWN to where his kit was in order to make his entrance on the fill...because of all of the drum and cymbal stands (as well as his stool and the pedals), this could've easily ended with an injury...but he stuck the landing, played, and sold the t-shirt ;) Legend.
I only have one word. PHE-NO-ME-NAL. This performance will Never be duplicated, By NOBODY. PHIL COLLINS IS A LEGEND. By the way. Love your reactions. Keep up the great work. 😊😊😊
This is one of those special moments ...when the live version is better than the studio version!!! ❤️🔥 Why do people feel the need to tear others down! Glad you didnt listen to them! You just keep proving them wrong and find new friends! 😁
We all part of the JB Fam now guy; we got your back. Your reaction to this was wonderful. You are a sweet, humble, tuned in man and we love you for it. Also that was a standout performance from Phil there; part of my misspent youth is in this song. Love and peace to you JB and keep on keepin' on, as we used to say back in the day. Love from East Coast of England (just before you drop into the sea 18 miles or so away "The Sunrise Coast" lol). xx
Duuuuuuude, that's what I'm SAYING. What the song was built from is important, but what makes it so significant is what it means to each person, because at the root of it is a sense of empowerment... the strength that we each have within ourselves to know what is RIGHT, and to follow it no matter how other people do wrong or try to tear us down. Like you KNOW you have your own worth, and the actions of others, at the end of the day, will see a reckoning one way or another, and it's so satisfying and rare to embody that in a song. What a stellar performer. Seriously.
Phil had his 'game face' on THIS night. I felt the same way as you the first time I saw it. Can't believe I missed your reaction until now. Great reaction.
I really do appreciate your reactions! You were just like a little kid on Christmas day and I love it. You realize that the music back then is so much better than the auto tune junk of today.
I saw this concert and it was incredible! Watching how little time he had to get to the drums made me so nervous!! Anyway. I'm so glad that you feel a connection to this song and to Phil. Always follow your dreams. If Phil had listened to his nay sayers then he would have probably been a broker as his dad wanted. I loved watching your reaction, it gave me goosebumps.
Phil Collins is Brilliant! Great voice And drummer amazing. JB plz don’t let negativity affect you. You’ve come a long way and you should be very proud of yourself and that’s all that’s important.
JB, I’ve been a Genesis and Phil Collins fan all of my adult life and I’m in my 60s. Phil a consummate performer and song writer. He has the “Midas Touch” when it came to song writing and his performances. There are untold numbers of song writers that can only dream of having the unprecedented success with writing as many chart topping hits as Phil has and for as long as he did it. Phil and Peter Gabriel had tremendous individual success after they left Genesis.
Brother you will be a success in your life no matter your route. The reason I say that is you are a rare breed in today’s world. You’re positive, meek, humble and a joy to view. The positive vibes you give off are infectious and it will always draw ppl to you. God bless you
We all have those around us that tell us what we can’t do. Use their words as motivation to do even more than you dare to dream you can do. You will do it!
I saw this same performance live in Florida on his "First Final Farewell Tour"...simply AMAZING in person...the whole show was fantastic!!!! He ran around stage without seeming to get tired at all...and actually SANG (not synced like many current stars) and he sounds exactly like his albums in person....this is a legend for sure :) *if you aren't doing the drums/singing with him by the end, there's something wrong with you hahaha
Listening to you describe why "I've been waiting for this moment..." is a feeling that I am sure we all have felt. While not as celebrated as this Iconic song, you should really listen to his "I Don't Care Anymore" song, especially live; I think you would feel the line, "I remember all the times I tried so hard, and you laughed at my face 'cause you held all the cards!" In my opinion, Phil Collins is one of the best live musicians, ever...definitely not a studio only singer....along the lines of Goo Goo Dolls, U2, Eagles, Coldplay and my personal favorite all time, live performer....George Michael...never got to see MJ
If that drop doesn’t get you going you are dead inside. You’re one of the lights people need in this world. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let anyone bring you down or make you feel differently ❤️☮️
I remember when this came out. I am 1/2 Native American. My mama, family & friends all talked about the drums in the song and how at the beginning how much they sound like ur are at a Pow Wow. I participated in a native game where you have dance to the drums while someone drops a dollar bill on the ground. You have to make ur way in dance to the dollar & pick it up without using ur hands at all. The drumming was so similar to the beginning of this song. NEVER EVER let anyone tell you what you can do. Sometimes you will amaze yourself. ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!
From the moment I first saw you react to a song - Benny Medones 'Into The Night'. I automatically KNEW you were a gentle, humble soul! It is so OBVIOUS!! It makes me sad to know that people did not believe in you. First of all, what matters most is WHO YOU ARE INSIDE, not the physical successes of this life! Humility is the most BEAUTIFUL gift from God!! And how GREAT LOVE IS!! What else do we really need to be a success in this world Material possessions fade away, but love and humility live FOREVER! LOVE, HUGS, AND PEACE TO YOU, MY DEAR BROTHER!🙏❤
In my opinion, this is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, so much emotion, his voice needs very little help. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Mines too
Especially the power of this live performance. FIRE!
Mine to ❤️
Me too❤❤❤
The look on your face when Phil Collins came in with the most famous drum drop ever was priceless, JB!
I dont care WHO you are.. WHAT RACE , GENDER, RELIGION, WHATEVER kind of Music that your into......ETC ETC..
09:01 This Drum fill UNITES THE EARTH....PERIOD
You GOT TO make that "STANK FACE" along with PHIL!!!!
@@Mahlercougar It is a Law that everyone must do Air Drums at that part. :-)
@@Mahlercougar race etc isnt an issue for me ,idiots is the issue ,music cant fix stupid , im sick of people saying " unite race blah blah faking blah " only idiots mention race instead of mentioning individual fuckwads
That is EXACTLY what I was waiting for the entire time. I was on the edge of my seat excited for him lol
Always makes me want chocolate

Agree fellow Boomer :) Almost 61 here. Have a magnet on my frig "I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands" FACTS!
Thank you for still being here. 🧡
This song will turn even the most casual fan into a glorified air drummer.
Don't ever let anyone tell you will never succeed at things. It gives them too much power over you!! You are an amazing person!! Love your honesty!!
You are amazing..stay true to you..✌️🎶🎼🦋
So glad this was taped….no one would have believed it if they had not seen it.He is one of the GOATS.

Skulk and sulk
@@GeminieCricket I'm not sure what you're getting at. Who's sulking?
Every time I watch this video, I get the same chills and thrill watching him and knowing what the song is about! Phil Collins is the GOAT!!!!
Phil Collins, the legend himself.
I could have chosen to listen to any of the young people doing these reaction videos but I was drawn to you because of your spirit. I like your presentation and I like you! You’re going to have a great life!
Great to see young people enjoying proper music.
Phil Collins is a living legend
I love it when you young folks discover what real talent is!!!

but the rhythm sucks. It's mechanical, with no soul.

One of the greatest 80s songs played by a legend of that amazing music decade...
I saw Phil Collins live in Houston, TX and everyone was on their feet dancing, moving and shaking to this performance! What a night!
Phil COLLINS is the MAN !! TOP PERFORMERS OF ALL TIME!
You have 50’s,60,’s,70’s,80’s,90’s, 00’s,10’s to enjoy. Born in 1952 Hubby and I (Boomers) have lived through life with the music of the world as our musical score! Enjoy Millennials, Farewell . Peace and Love: Baby Boomers!
The first date my husband and I had was going to see Phil Collins in concert. It was amazing.
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).

Good for you Jamal. Keep your chin up and do whatever you feel. You are a unique and beautiful individual. Reaction was great too!
You do a great job reviewing. Believe in yourself
The first time I heard this song in the 80's was on a first date with an incredibly handsome man..we were driving on a summers night with the convertible top down and this song blasting....when the drum beat hit, i felt like I was flying!!! Will never forget it. Such an iconic song.
Don't ever let anyone doubt you. You are FANTASTIC! Any friend of Phil is a friend of mine!! AND DON"T LET THE HATERS GET YOU DOWN!
Don’t listen to all those detractors honey. Love from the UK.
I've never seen that performance of In the Air Tonight Phil Collins killed it on the drums great reaction.
Phil Collins walks with a cane now and cannot stand for long periods. He sings sitting in a chair but the the stage persona and voice remain. He is a legend. This song is iconic and Phil is iconic. Only one Phil Collins.

I think all the drum manufacturers should pay Phil a "royalty" for each set sold.
I mean - imagine how many people he inspired to go out and be a drummer after they heard this.
Gretch drums did very very well in the 80s, mainly bc of Phil and this fill.
I absolutely love this song I always get chills when he starts with the drums. He's a very talented man he sings plays the drums & is an actor too
Also is a producer and touring drummer (clapton, plant).
I was so excited watching this LOL All I wanted was to see your face when you found out Phil Collins is not just a drummer, but THE drummer LOL
always follow your heart, and ignore the fools who try to bring you down, just be yourself because you are lovely .
My goosebumps had goosebumps! Love it!
Stay strong, Stand tall and continue pursuing your dreams! I believe in you young man! Peace Love & Light Namaste!
Every time this song comes on the radio while driving in the car with my husband and gets to the infamous drum solo part he has to do the" Miami Vice shifting gears" please tell me I'm not the only one who endures this lol , But Great song love Phil Collins , he has some really good songs.

Saw him live twice. One of the greatest drummers ever! His son Nic drums for him now. Glad you liked it!
If I'd been there, I'm sure my heart would have left my body when Phil started drumming!
I swear if I had a voice like phil i'd be singing literally all the time
Hell, if I could drum like him, I'd be drumming all the time!🥁😄
@@jaytee2642 same here
One of the best songs ever written. PERIOD
Man oh man love this song brings back so many memories from the days in high school
Phil Collins actually done quite a good cover of the Supremes song " YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE "
That damn song defined a certain part of my youth until this day.
We all have such things...
One of my favorite reactions to this!! It gave me chills hope you smiled that awesome smile when he first started singing.. dope reaction… 🤍👏🏼😘
Let me tell you my Dad is so excited for his band Genesis to reunite for a UK tour! Apparently Phil Collins son will be on the drums though.
Zoe Orrell yes, ur right! Phil’s son is doing the drumming... I think Phil has back issues and can’t/or shouldn’t drum anymore.😃✌️
Zoe Orrell just a UK tour?! I’d looooove to see him.
Pammy M that makes a lot of sense. I think I’d heard something along those lines.
Jill Kona As far as I know I think they announced ten arena tour in only the UK, they might come to where you live if your outside of the UK you never know.
Phil has to use a cane to walk because his back is so bad.
I was told alot that I would not make it thru Ranger training. I Retired as a Master Sargent in the 75th Ranger Regiment. You can achieve anything you set your heart and soul to.
Thank you for your service!

That iconic scene in Miami Vice when this track kicks in is something else 🔥🔥
The first cassette I bought, Phil Collins, No Jacket Required
Damn, that was my first cassette too! Bought it after seeing the Sussudio video on TV.
@@WOranos Same! :D Sussidio was my first 'crush'!
I still have mine:) altho I havent played it since i got the cd:)
I am 75yo and I traveled from Indiana to Paris for this concert. There were 80,000 people at the concert!
this song features one of the most iconic drum fills ever.... rock on!
Seen Phil in concert many times. He’s a great performer. Also seen him with Genesis.
You are so lucky. My mom & I have loved him since I was a little girl back in the Genesis days.
I thoroughly enjoyed that. You're a good man, James.
This is one of the songs I crank up, because I want others to feel what I feel from the song...........its just the way the music or the songs touches me! Now this, I can just listen to the instrumental version all day long.......

Like you KNOW you have your own worth, and the actions of others, at the end of the day, will see a reckoning one way or another, and it's so satisfying and rare to embody that in a song. What a stellar performer. Seriously.
That drum drop is legendary. 🎼🎶😎❤️ Your journey is yours alone. Never give up, never give in, never stop trying.❤️🎼🎶😎
Phil had his 'game face' on THIS night. I felt the same way as you the first time I saw it. Can't believe I missed your reaction until now. Great reaction.
You stay humble as you are!!! You have nothing to prove to all those haters!! You do you, you’re wonderful and your reaction was everything to me 🥰🥰🥰
You are so right my friend the memories stored in the human brain much better than any photograph
He sit down at those drums...y'all KNOW IT'S BOUT TO GO DOWN!!!! EPIC...🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Oh my gosh! You are so right about your eyes being the camera! I miss those days- no cell phones , just music.
Starts like soft rain before the thunder storm!
Loved your reaction 🇬🇧❤️👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾
I used to listen to this CD when I was driving back and forth to work - an hour each way. I listened full blast! I was in my 50's LOL
I really do appreciate your reactions! You were just like a little kid on Christmas day and I love it. You realize that the music back then is so much better than the auto tune junk of today.
I saw this concert and it was incredible! Watching how little time he had to get to the drums made me so nervous!! Anyway. I'm so glad that you feel a connection to this song and to Phil. Always follow your dreams. If Phil had listened to his nay sayers then he would have probably been a broker as his dad wanted. I loved watching your reaction, it gave me goosebumps.
My favourite Phil Collins song!!!! 💖💙💖💙💖
Phil Collins is Brilliant! Great voice And drummer amazing. JB plz don’t let negativity affect you. You’ve come a long way and you should be very proud of yourself and that’s all that’s important.
JB, I’ve been a Genesis and Phil Collins fan all of my adult life and I’m in my 60s. Phil a consummate performer and song writer. He has the “Midas Touch” when it came to song writing and his performances. There are untold numbers of song writers that can only dream of having the unprecedented success with writing as many chart topping hits as Phil has and for as long as he did it. Phil and Peter Gabriel had tremendous individual success after they left Genesis.
Your my favourite person to watch your so humble ,so genuine,such a beautiful soul ,your blessed .never change .god bless x
Brother you will be a success in your life no matter your route. The reason I say that is you are a rare breed in today’s world. You’re positive, meek, humble and a joy to view. The positive vibes you give off are infectious and it will always draw ppl to you. God bless you
Just your honesty says your a good person. Your music selection is great. From Phil Collins to Angelina Jordan. Enjoyed your reaction, PRICELESS!
We all have those around us that tell us what we can’t do. Use their words as motivation to do even more than you dare to dream you can do. You will do it!
I saw this same performance live in Florida on his "First Final Farewell Tour"...simply AMAZING in person...the whole show was fantastic!!!! He ran around stage without seeming to get tired at all...and actually SANG (not synced like many current stars) and he sounds exactly like his albums in person....this is a legend for sure :) *if you aren't doing the drums/singing with him by the end, there's something wrong with you hahaha
Listening to you describe why "I've been waiting for this moment..." is a feeling that I am sure we all have felt. While not as celebrated as this Iconic song, you should really listen to his "I Don't Care Anymore" song, especially live; I think you would feel the line, "I remember all the times I tried so hard, and you laughed at my face 'cause you held all the cards!" In my opinion, Phil Collins is one of the best live musicians, ever...definitely not a studio only singer....along the lines of Goo Goo Dolls, U2, Eagles, Coldplay and my personal favorite all time, live performer....George Michael...never got to see MJ
If that drop doesn’t get you going you are dead inside. You’re one of the lights people need in this world. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let anyone bring you down or make you feel differently ❤️☮️
Keep shining brightly be your own star! You got this!
Music and songs are all about the personal interpretation.... I’m glad you found your personal interpretation, my Friend.
I remember when this came out. I am 1/2 Native American. My mama, family & friends all talked about the drums in the song and how at the beginning how much they sound like ur are at a Pow Wow. I participated in a native game where you have dance to the drums while someone drops a dollar bill on the ground. You have to make ur way in dance to the dollar & pick it up without using ur hands at all. The drumming was so similar to the beginning of this song.
NEVER EVER let anyone tell you what you can do. Sometimes you will amaze yourself. ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!
Don't ever let anyone discourage you!! Love your reactions....keep doing what you're doing!!!
From the moment I first saw you react to a song - Benny Medones 'Into The Night'. I automatically KNEW you were a gentle, humble soul!
It is so OBVIOUS!! It makes me sad to know that people did not believe in you. First of all, what matters most is WHO YOU ARE INSIDE, not the physical successes of this life! Humility is the most BEAUTIFUL gift from God!! And how GREAT LOVE IS!!
What else do we really need to be a success in this world Material possessions fade away, but love and humility live FOREVER! LOVE, HUGS, AND PEACE TO YOU, MY DEAR BROTHER!🙏❤
