      I'm 45, but I feel the same. One of my favorite things is watching people watch Phil Collins live who never knew he was a drummer. There's always a moment of "wait...what?! Am I in the Twilight Zone?" that is absolutely priceless. I'm kind of in that sweet spot with Phil's music where I loved it as a kid as he was releasing it, but was also young enough to miss the divorce shenanigans.

    This is rock and roll. Full stop. No fireworks, no dancers, no twerking. Pure talent. And, this is live. And the thing about rock and roll, the groups sound the same live, in concert, as they do on the records. Phil Collins is a master! And, he is a pretty nice guy, true rockers do not take the adulations that seriously. There is no rock anymore. times change, of course. But the genre has pretty much gone by the wayside. Not surprising, music does evolve. But, I like that younger gens are willing to listen to music outside their comfort zone, and finding out, hey! Old guys were pretty good!

    The reason Phil Collins owns the stage like a boss is because he’s been on stages in the West End of London since he was a child. I’ve seen him live several times in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids MI. Once with Genesis, once with Robert Plant (he drummed for him) and a couple times solo.

    Quite simply, that is the MAGIC THAT PHIL BRINGS!! Phil Collins has been in entertainment since he was a kid (as a child actor, playing in West End plays like Oliver Twist. He was also an extra in the Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" film). He joined Genesis as drummer and background vocals in 1970 and became their lead singer/drummer in 1976. Phil's career has been nothing short of EPIC! He's one of my favorite drummers and Lead singers of all time!

    Genesis was huge. Then he went solo. Miami Vice was the show that made this song epic. That was mid 80s. His slow entry is so cool. Most don’t know he’s the drummer. It’s so cool to see young people react to him being so cool! By the way I love his music. Picture a fast car, at night, driving along the Miami coast road going to bust drug dealers. This song plays in the scene. Epic!!!

      He actually said he got his sound from tuning his drums just a titch sharp. And the snare is NOT out of tune nor out of sync in volume from the rest of his kit, a modern thing I hate: I’m a retired band teacher who finds that particular change grating.
