When you see phil looking at chester more so in the brazillian section hes like.we nailed ot perfection in motion.the instrumental section is i think the best most original section ever. On a par with steve hacket moment but the keyboards the claranet church sound is so dark and atomospheric like a watership down moment.the drums 1234 sounds like rain dripping off a willow tree the snth is moonlit clouds over a mountain mikes guitar is signifying a chaze the drums are like a tailway line at night with a cold wet wind.why did they cut this section out in the latter versions.
Ilene Lieberman: You are not the only one. I am also one of the "normal people" in this world who sometimes takes a walk down memory lane...and revisits the moment when I heard it for the first time - soon after it appeared. In a nutshell. not all Boomers are crazy! Hahaha! Have a GREAT weekend and a GOOD life in your remaining years!
Agreed. This is truly amazing. The conviction in Phil's voice is unparalleled with any other vocalist I've ever heard. You really believe every single word he's singing. And the band is just superb in their performance. I love this entire concert from start to finish. They just don't make bands like this anymore. Give me this over One Direction or Katy Perry or Justin Bieber any day of the week. Also, get off my lawn. Haha.
I love this damn song! You just have to love the build-up in this song. It just starts off kind of somber and brooding and keeps building from there. Things really take off in the bridge and then the most power moment in the song, to me, comes when they go back into the main verse. It's all brought back into focus by Rutherford's guitar swell and Tony's main keys riff. The drumming is what makes the transition, though. It's so damn intense! Just an amazing song!
Yes!! It's such a shame they cut this song short and go into Invisible Touch in their later tours. I totally forgot how amazing the build up is in this song, Phil's vocals, Rutherford and Stuermer, Chester... Just amazing.
Damn.. Genesis was a bad ass band. This generation will never get great music like this. Sadly this was at the end of the band's run. Phil sounds great! I was front row at Vet Stadium during this tour.. Great memories!!
@@rrrrrrtt1 Some people are, I’m not. The music of today is nowhere near as good as this! Honestly it has been said many times, but the music of today sucks. The only music I like today are from classic bands that are releasing new albums and some artists that I find compelling, other than that, all I listen is stuff from the 70’s and 80’s, like Genesis/Phil’s solo work, Rush, Toto, Yes, Michael McDonald, Tears For Fears, Steely Dan, ABBA and others.
I was the director for the live screens you see in this show, and my camera ops are doing the core of the show close-ups with supplemental cams for the wide stuff. I am not aware of who directed the laser disc show, but I suspect Jim Yukich, who did a lot of their videos at that time. More of my shows on youtube are Judas Priest, Sammy Hagar, and others I haven't found yet!
Right, that's why it was part of the Genesis Tonight laser show. I'm not sure where you could actually watch it nowadays. I've seen it at least 3 times back than in the planetarium in munich (germany). But even better was the Pink Floyd laser show (which i think even started the music laser show bussiness) If you can watch it somewhere i can recommend it ^^.
You know, some days, I just feel I've had enough. The battle of life, the continual struggle to hold things together. As time passes, we lose friends and family. It doesn't seem to get any easier as we get older. Some days I put on my best head phones...increase the volume...close my eyes....and listen to Phil Collin's magic as it transpires.
I don't. Fuck that shit. The early 1980s (1980, 81...maybe). But the rest of the decade was a POS for me personally. The only thing that made it tolerable for me was listening to music like this.
This video should have a lot more views than this. Phil has a lot of talent, and so does the band. Phil has one of the best and most distinctive voices in music.
I am shocked that Genesis gets more than a few thousand. I think I am the only one who likes them still. of course I just started after forgetting all about them for 30 plus years.
I Gotta Say Growing up I've Always been a Huge Phil Collins FAN! There's No other Singer as unique as this Bad Ass Dude! One of the Very Best! 💯 🎸🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🎹🎹🎹🎸
I love this version of this song. Also, feel very lucky to have been at this show back in 1987. What a great era for live music - saw Springsteen at Wembley in 1984, Queen at Wembley in 1986 and Genesis here at Wembley in 1987. Great days.
This song is about meeting with a cocaine dealer. The lyrics detail withdrawal symptoms from a cocaine high and the relief of knowing tonight is the night cocaine will be purchased. It deals with the struggle against the highly addictive drug. Phil Collins wrote the lyrics to this one.
In general I think the “plot” of the song is focused on someone who recognizes they have an addiction and desperately wants to end that addiction (whether it’s to cocaine, heroine, or some other drug isn’t clear to me). They are torn between the craving for the drug (e.g. “I got some money in my pocket about ready to burn”) and their desperate desire to break free from their addiction (e.g “Just get it away from me”). To me most of the lyrics seem focused on the desire to end the addiction.
My socks have officially been rocked!!!!! Outrageous performance....AMAZINGLY powerful!!! Phil Collins is one of THE voices of the 80s, and Genesis was incredible!! Thanks for this performance, for sharing it with the rest of us! :D
Awesome song! I remember riding in the car with my mom as a 7 year old kid and listening to the entire Invisible Touch album! Still have that tape after all these years but now I listen to it on my iPod. How the times have changed!
I give my credit to both Peter and Phil, they both made great performances to the band and especially the rest of the group in that Peter to Phil transition, well done you guys, Genesis will live on!
Collins and Genesis...VOICE and MUSIC GODS...does any music make you go deep into thought and memories than this?..Collins one of the best voices of all time..just the right raaaasssp..
Love this song so much....The English own these live shows, and rock music in general....can't help but think back to Quadrophenia and the magnitude of albums like that, George Michael, the list goes on, great vocalist and music!!
Love this man... His music and singing abilities are phenomenal... Grew up on his music... Still listen to him... Got me threw many many times and I thank you Phil Collins
One of my favorite Genesis concerts ever. From what I know this tour was the only time this song was performed in its entirety. This concert has my favorite versions of Abacab, Domino and TTT. I know they made a DVD of this concert, but I really hope they make a live album.
i cant stop listening to this song. the weird thing is...im only 14. i shouldnt know who this band is...but i do...and Genesis is my favorite band!!!!! To bad they broke up. :(
I was only 7, in Louisville KY. I wouldn't understand or appreciate this remarkable music until at least the early 90's of VH1, and songs like "Jesus He Knows Me." Of course, I had heard songs in the background my whole life, "That's All," "Invisible Touch" etc. I also didn't realize the difference between Genesis and his solo career. My point being, as I grew older, my appreciation for Phil and Genesis has only grown as such as my jealousy for the people who were able to attend shows like this one. When I watch this, I become entranced.
1st July 1987, first of 4 hot, sultry and smoky nights at Wembley Stadium. I was there somewhere, four days after seeing Gabriel at Earl's Court and missing the last train home. Then after the Genesis gig, my mate and his sister missed the last train home because they went on ahead of me and got on the wrong tube train! i got home OK.
Legendary song. Been a blast enjoying Phil's music, and what an inspiration he is with his music and Genesis. Wishing you all the best bud, and thank you for everything, and inspiring. One of my favorite tracks this is. Genesis is extremely under-rated, espically with this album and especially with this song. True masterpiece. With all my heart.
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! The words amazing, awesome, timeless do not do this song justice as well as it's sister song "In the air tonite". I mean how are you able to create 2 songs that people will be jamming out to 300 years from now? I'm 44 and I remember when these songs came out it was in the 80's on a very tacky cop tv show called Miami Vice and we were all blown away for years. Thank you so much Mr. Collins.
I was a teenager when I saw/heard this extended version. I was stoned out of my mind and that instrumental interlude just took me to another place! I wasn't a stoned loser, went on to get my university degree and got a great job. But that instrumental interlude...man I'll never forget where it took my mind!
Went to this concert, best version of tonight etc, but when does this pure magnificent song ever get radio play, outrageous, sad to see Phil now, but in his hey day, no one better, thankyou Phil and the team for years of superb songs and memories
Видеоклипы
This video should have 300 million views. One of the greatest Genesis live performances ever!
I guess most younger people have no taste in music! I’m 14 and I have to come back to this every once in a while.
What a masterpiece!
There are probably 100 copies of this video spread across RUclips so the original poster does not get all of the credit they deserve.
When you see phil looking at chester more so in the brazillian section hes like.we nailed ot perfection in motion.the instrumental section is i think the best most original section ever. On a par with steve hacket moment but the keyboards the claranet church sound is so dark and atomospheric like a watership down moment.the drums 1234 sounds like rain dripping off a willow tree the snth is moonlit clouds over a mountain mikes guitar is signifying a chaze the drums are like a tailway line at night with a cold wet wind.why did they cut this section out in the latter versions.
One of the best performances ever, hands down. Absolutely brilliant! This is real music
Wow, I was thinking the same thing. After listening I scrolled down and immediately thought "What, only 1.7M views?".
Still playing "Tonight Tonight Tonight" more times than any normal person in this whole world!
Wana bet on it?
Ilene Lieberman: You are not the only one. I am also one of the "normal people" in this world who sometimes takes a walk down memory lane...and revisits the moment when I heard it for the first time - soon after it appeared. In a nutshell. not all Boomers are crazy! Hahaha! Have a GREAT weekend and a GOOD life in your remaining years!
Iiene, I wonder how many times has he sang the words "Tonight, Tonight Tonight during the song?
I'm gonna play tonight, tonight, TONIGHT
Me too
I really can't understand how anyone would not like this song. It's so atmospheric, mysterious and lush.
For sure
It just hasn't had its best moments sampled and put into today's low talent trash yet is why 😊
Reminds you of the good old before time caught up. Brilliant.
Phil Collins is hands down one of the greatest vocalists ever. Such a unique voice and whatever he sings you LISTEN
He was also the best drummer in the world for many years in the 80's!!
The best vocalist and drummer!
Definitely ! 💖🇺🇸💯🌹✌️☮️
@@markreid798 right on man THEE BEST ! Besides the drummer for iron butterflies Inna godda da Vita ! Dude did some pounding lol !
& drummer!
Thank God for Phil and Genesis, I don't know where I'd be without them
98.1 chif played in the air tonight today
Phil has an incredible voice.
my 10 year old Son, a big Phil fan, yelled " we're keeping IT" ! adding his own lyrics :) xx0 Joey
His intonation is amazing. Some vocalists can’t do it live, but he nails it.
Had (an incredible voice)
Tony Banks totally surrounded by keyboards is stunning! Great song from a great band.
The sounds on the keyboards he chooses and the way he plays them are so majestic.
The guy makes the genesis sound for me.
This must be one of the best live performances ever, from any band!
Agreed. This is truly amazing. The conviction in Phil's voice is unparalleled with any other vocalist I've ever heard. You really believe every single word he's singing. And the band is just superb in their performance. I love this entire concert from start to finish. They just don't make bands like this anymore.

People are satisfied with mediocrity these days :( We'll never see this again for sure.
I also saw the show at Vet stadium in 1987. The GREATEST concert experience of my life! Hearing this song at full volume was a religious experience.

What a cool career
Thank you
I love the middle instrumental part on this song!!
Agreed some of the best music ever that section could of opened up a whole new world but sadly never expanded on.
One of the most underrated vocalists / drummer ever...
I don’t think he’s actually underrated! 😅
@@yanboa The reason I said that he don't get mention like that...
Tony Banks is such a keyboard maestro. Brilliant
He wrote the melody for, " Firth Of Fifth " when he was only 23 years old. If you've never heard it, look it up. It's a masterpiece.
Probably one of the most Atmospheric songs ever made
Krypto_98 that's true.
Right, that's why it was part of the Genesis Tonight laser show. I'm not sure where you could actually watch it nowadays. I've seen it at least 3 times back than in the planetarium in munich (germany). But even better was the Pink Floyd laser show (which i think even started the music laser show bussiness)
If you can watch it somewhere i can recommend it ^^.
Yup. “Domino” as well
"You keep telling me you're going to help me, but you don't." Heart-felt singing.
Ricardo Martinez Get me out of here...
Genesis is one of those rare things where everything about it is just right.
You know, some days, I just feel I've had enough. The battle of life, the continual struggle to hold things together. As time passes, we lose friends and family. It doesn't seem to get any easier as we get older. Some days I put on my best head phones...increase the volume...close my eyes....and listen to Phil Collin's magic as it transpires.
Sometimes it's the only peace we can get..
Hand your life in Jesus hands and he'll deal with your struggles, then you can listen more relaxed... And your saved for eternity
Try before commenting
Why jesus though? He's a bit of a fool imo.
This is what I’m doing tonight, tonight, tonight. Just blasting it through the house since my family is out of state and I have to work.
One of Genesis’ greatest performances EVER. FLAWLESS
some of the sounds Tony comes up with and his mastery of so many keyboards is a dream to watch. one of my biggest regrets is never seeing Genesis live
I love the way Tony is really getting into this, he must be getting such a buzz in moments like these, you can tell he is really enjoying himself
He’s in his happy place alright…what a musical frikken genius..
If you noticed, theres a drink cup to the side, Id like to imagine he was rockin a nice adult beverage.
Yeah he was DEFINATELY in his ZONE for this part
this music will never die
That moment from 3:17 to 5:18 such atmosphere, Phil kicking the electric drum machine and then. Rocking on the keys Tony with the head rocking. Bliss
I so want to go back to the 80's.
Kathy me fuckin too
I hear you!!! 80s-90s. This millennium sucks!
i wouldn't stop there.
I'd go back to 1964 and live the whole crazy time again.
Yeah, Get me outta here!
I don't. Fuck that shit. The early 1980s (1980, 81...maybe). But the rest of the decade was a POS for me personally. The only thing that made it tolerable for me was listening to music like this.

justin bieber videos got 300 mil views each, disappointment
Totally rocks out on the drums also.
Fuck that.
I agree
This was genesis at the peak of the powers...the sound and lighting was second to none...fantastic
I live for 3:19 - 5:19. It just takes you to another dimension! That ladies and Gent is raw talent!
Always loved the extended instrumental sections, the edit of this song took that out. Imo that part makes the song.
I thought I was the only one felt that break…..😂
Genesis and Phil Collins are a huge part of my childhood, I listened to them a lot in the 80's and early 90's
Phil and Genesis never dies....so good
I Gotta Say Growing up I've Always been a Huge Phil Collins FAN! There's No other Singer as unique as this Bad Ass Dude! One of the Very Best!
💯 🎸🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🎹🎹🎹🎸
I love this song, I love Genesis, I love Phil Collins
Nothing better then starting the day of my 20th birthday listening to this iconic Genesis hit. #April19
I love this version of this song. Also, feel very lucky to have been at this show back in 1987. What a great era for live music - saw Springsteen at Wembley in 1984, Queen at Wembley in 1986 and Genesis here at Wembley in 1987. Great days.
I bow to you sir. I could only dream... I was also 6-7 years old.
How much were tickets back then?
@@JvilleNCI think Queen was 4 pounds 50 and genesis about 5 pounds
Simple, beautiful,, ongoing, never ending, awesome background, one the best ever!
I've known this song for ages. This is an absolutely awesome song. I love this song.
This song is about meeting with a cocaine dealer. The lyrics detail withdrawal symptoms from a cocaine high and the relief of knowing tonight is the night cocaine will be purchased. It deals with the struggle against the highly addictive drug. Phil Collins wrote the lyrics to this one.
Did he tell you this?
Monkey on your back makes sense
I never knew that. Thanks for enlightening. I’m unfortunately currently experiencing that exact same struggle
In general I think the “plot” of the song is focused on someone who recognizes they have an addiction and desperately wants to end that addiction (whether it’s to cocaine, heroine, or some other drug isn’t clear to me).

@@raelraven3 I had that same thought when I heard the song one night, I like that meaning better.
Discovered Genesis few days ago and I can say it's one of the best music I've ever heard
This is the greatest song by Genesis (IMHO).
My socks have officially been rocked!!!!! Outrageous performance....AMAZINGLY powerful!!! Phil Collins is one of THE voices of the 80s, and Genesis was incredible!!

Genesis all Legends 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Genesis was jammed pack with talent and there were very few bands that could ever compare to them. Made my 80’s even more memorable!
I love the 80's, what a great song.
5:16 OH YEAH
Collins and Genesis...VOICE and MUSIC GODS...does any music make you go deep into thought and memories than this?..Collins one of the best voices of all time..just the right raaaasssp..
Brilliant track. Brilliant band.
I love how Phil motions his arm just as the drums kick in 4:16
Sweet! Sometimes I just need this
You know its rocking when Tony's head starts boppin.
Wonderful night... Tonight! 🌃❤️
Banks does the fancy keyboard parts with his fingers, not a sequencer. It's nice to see. Bobs his head at the same time!
Love this song so much....The English own these live shows, and rock music in general....can't help but think back to Quadrophenia and the magnitude of albums like that, George Michael, the list goes on, great vocalist and music!!
Best version ever
Incredible song
Love this man... His music and singing abilities are phenomenal... Grew up on his music... Still listen to him... Got me threw many many times and I thank you Phil Collins
This version has so much atmosphere and the playing is beyond epic. Head rocking tune, excellent.
Ive played this video about 500 times I wish I was there
I love the 80's, what a great song.
Probably one of the best 80s songs ever!
One of my favorite Genesis concerts ever. From what I know this tour was the only time this song was performed in its entirety. This concert has my favorite versions of Abacab, Domino and TTT. I know they made a DVD of this concert, but I really hope they make a live album.
AWESOME!!! Probably one of the best albums ever (Invisible touch). Greetings from the Czech Republic.
Phil does a great job of singing comfortably rather than failing at the higher notes. I like this better than changing the key.
I was at this concert and have been a Genesis Fan since I was 15...Awesome and so good live Best ever!....
So a damn good Song performed perfect live
i cant stop listening to this song. the weird thing is...im only 14. i shouldnt know who this band is...but i do...and Genesis is my favorite band!!!!! To bad they broke up. :(
They never really broke up.
My favorite song ever!
I love this album, it's the best Genesis album on the 80's!
Genesis is A Great Band and Phil Collins vocals are great !!
Phil's voice is incredible. One of the greatest rock bands of all time, doing what they do best!
This song is one of my all time favorite 80s songs from Genesis! Thanks for uploading this!
Magnificent! Yes, please bring back the 80's!!!
I was only 7, in Louisville KY. I wouldn't understand or appreciate this remarkable music until at least the early 90's of VH1, and songs like "Jesus He Knows Me."

TheOmanJam I saw this concert in Leeds at Roundhay Park. Excellent.
Yes, I caught the 'So' Tour, too - just before at Earls Court. What a year! Live Aid in 85 reignited the thirst for big stadia gigs, that's for sure.
They must have been great gigs my friend.
WOW..I forgot how much I loved this song.. Amazing performance
Masterpiece!
Killer performance.
yep- it's tragic that phil can no longer play drums or piano, I don't think we'll ever see such a fantastic talent.
I saw this concert tour in Melbourne ,Australia,was amazing,huge sound and huge lights.
I LOVE PHIL COLLINS!!!!!! damnit why cant more vocalists sound that good.
MOTHERFUCKING EPIC FOREVER. I WISH I WAS GROWN ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN THIS IN PERSON 😢😢😢
Legendary song. Been a blast enjoying Phil's music, and what an inspiration he is with his music and Genesis. Wishing you all the best bud, and thank you for everything, and inspiring. One of my favorite tracks this is. Genesis is extremely under-rated, espically with this album and especially with this song. True masterpiece. With all my heart.

Genesis always had some of the best keyboard guitar harmonies I’ve always loved in the 80s. What a stellar performance and song 👍
Great tune. Love the instrumental bit. Tony...love him
J.P. Longpre Part of me likes to think that Hans Zimmer had this in mind when he wrote some of the score for _The Dark Knight Saga_. :D
+Nicholas Tosoni It's very film oundtrack sort of music.
I love this band it reminds me the 80's so strong ❤️
Beautiful. Concert
This is probably one of my favorite Genesis songs. Good good stuff!
I was a teenager when I saw/heard this extended version. I was stoned out of my mind and that instrumental interlude just took me to another place! I wasn't a stoned loser, went on to get my university degree and got a great job. But that instrumental interlude...man I'll never forget where it took my mind!
es un orgullo haber disfrutado de todas estas bandas en los 80s, creadores de música y de calidad artística; hoy la música es solo ruido.
how does this not have more views, this song is brilliant, especially this live version
I simply adore that instrumental section.
I was there, it was good!
David Meyer " u lucky soma bitch; "
what a talented band with great amazing songs.
Gorgeous and truly epic music.
People shouldn’t hate on Daryl. It’s not his fault Hackett left, and he’s actually very good and has done a great job as a lead guitarist in genesis.
Genesis is that rare band that became bigger and bigger as the band got smaller and smaller
Just damn good music!
Man this takes me back!
the chills play this loud the synth is sick
..TONIGHT,TONIGHT,tonight,dont me tired and repeat,alls his songs are high quality,are bigest phil,for ever!☺😚😚
Went to this concert, best version of tonight etc, but when does this pure magnificent song ever get radio play, outrageous, sad to see Phil now, but in his hey day, no one better, thankyou Phil and the team for years of superb songs and memories
80s music at its finest!!!!
Nothing like Genesis & Phil Collins to help you sort through your 💩 when things get heavy.Brilliant anytime but, especially then.
Thank- you ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💓
One of my all time favorite songs!
