Listening to Phil Collins with Leland playing without words, just ears.
🤝
Just now discovered this most beautiful song. Love it so much. Can't get enough.
I spend 20 minutes with Lee and my day is good.
Ditto
No Doubt about it!🍎
Yeah ditto 😎
Same
Best channel by far. Makes me smile. Always feel better after.
This song hits me like no other. It has a special meaning and tone in my heart. Always has since day one. It goes through the very essence of what love is... The goose bumps never fades when it comes to this Phil Collins is a rare talent and probably the only one on this earth that can get ME TO REACT THE WAY I HAVE TO THIS.
I AM SO VERY GRATEFUL TO HIIM. HES A GENUINE GENIOUS!!
🤝💚🙋♂️🇬🇧
Many thanks for your wonderful videos, I fell asleep last night listening to the sound of this beautiful song with your amazing bass playing. Can't thank you enough for devoting your time to us all...
My favourite Phil Collins song. Love this. God bless you Leland.
I've been in love with this song forever. What a beautiful video this is to add to my heart. Thank you for this ❤
This channel is so therapeutic while listening to him, sharing his experiences and memories.
Love the bass🌌
One of Phils best tracks.....stunning
Phil's ballad writing is second to none.
It is just so cool to have seen you on stage and on the radio now in your house jamming to these recordings. It actually blows my mind. Not to mention you are so humble about all of this. In these last three months of following you, it seems that their has been a friendship born amongst all of us. Thank you Lee for sharing all of this and your time.
One of my favorite songs of all time, no bullshit. Thanks for expression Leland, I know how you feel👍🏼
Beautiful work on your bass ..stunning. How lucky we are to enjoy the enduring talent of Phil Collins
The only channel where I like the videos before they even begin
Beautiful, restrained and clear playing. Timing is superb and those harmonics. Fabulous share.
Always loved this song. I appreciate you talking about it and playing along to it. Nice addition to my day.
Ahhhh man..summer of 🇨🇦1982..Back home in Toronto..Leaving was hard..but.. coming back was so easy!!🇨🇦 ❤🇨🇦
Now Phils voice echos through the streets of my city..
You composed the music to my life❤🫂❤Thank you!!
Hitting the thumbs up for your videos never seems like enough.......there needs to be a thumbs times infinity button. You have made my day so many days the last few month. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and beautiful bass playing!
Why am i crying, soulful song and soulful musicians. Thank you
My favourite Phil collins love songs
Very touching tune.
John Lewis was such a courageous giant... never giving up while always seeking justice. Mentioning him made me smile. Thanks, Lee.
Too bad he wasted the latter part of his life as a corrupt bitterly partisan politician.
That is some tasty bass playing. Young bassists would do themselves a great favor by studying Leland's style and technique.
👍😷😷🖕🤘🥁
This might be the best song I've ever heard Phil do. So plaintive yet so very alive. Beautifully mixed, beautifully orchestrated. Considering the nature of the lyrics, it's difficult to put a one-word descriptor with it. Phil Collins is a treasure ... a gift to music. Nice choice, Lee.
Like a big stick of butter. Mmm Mmm. Perfect
And a hot buttermilk biscuit. Yowzaaah!
time,- the best on the planet ! -
Mr. P. Collins has so many briliant songs ever. Thank you Mr. L. Sklar too.
John Lewis is an american hero. didn't sit at the back of the bus. didn't move away from the lunch counter. badass.
get some 1000 grit sandpaper for the tooth. ouch. the tongue is a bully. C.O.B. forgot how beautiful this song is.
From Wiki: A few days later, Lewis said that he would not attend Trump's inauguration because he did not believe that Trump was the true elected president. "It will be the first (inauguration) that I miss since I've been in Congress. You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right," he said. Lewis had failed to attend George W. Bush's inauguration in 2001 because he believed that he too was not a legitimately elected president. Lewis' statement was rated as "Pants on Fire" by PolitiFact
Oh, John Lewis. Farewell to a paragon. He was, indeed, the custodian of America's moral character. Thanks, as always, for your beautiful words and playing, Lee. They never fail to make my day a little brighter.
What a beautiful bassline and such kind words to an American. hero.
This is beautiful Mr. Sklar. One of my absolute favorite Face Value songs. One of my biggest regrets in life is not seeing a Phil Collins concert 💔 You guys are awesome!!!😊❤
Great respect for John Lewis ! Thank u from all us Democratics left ! RIP John !!!! Another great video from Phil who was a musical genius in the greatest era of music the 80s !! From Alabama it really is summer time 🥵.
RIP, John Lewis! And as, usual, exquisite bass line.
A beautiful bass with a fantastic tone on this massively underrated Phil song. Thank you, Lee.
Miss Don Myrick and his beautiful alto sax playing!
Don was so good. Such a shame to have lost him. Phil got a bunch of great musicians to work with.
“Lee’s Music Lounge” playing another Phil Collins tune beautiful!! He’s never lets me down. I hope people feel the same way as I do. He’s one of the greats. Here’s to you Lee. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻🎶🎵🎹🎸🎤
Hi! This series has re-ignited my love of playing the bass. Bought some new kit, played all day today. Thanks again , but you have cost me two thousand pounds! All the best from the UK. X
wonderful job... such a great song... every one playing FEELS every word...
Oh Lee, that's one hot Warwick bass, that tone is killing me...
Beautiful song , the words beautiful , and your a beautiful person , "But Seriously" Love what your doing here , Thanks Lee.......
Thank You. My absolute favourite. And the way You are playing it is just very very beautiful.
Wow wow wow! Tears in my eyes. I forgot that song. Great sensitive bass playing 🙏🏻
Lee, a great opening with respect for John Lewis... Then as always great story and song. Thank you sir
Holding down the bottom as a bass guitar player is the greatest feeling in the world. Unless your Jaco or Jeff Berlin.... but I love it.... wonderful place to live...
LOVE, LOVE this song!!! depending on my mood of the day, it will get me teary...
Absolutely gorgeous bassline. Took my breath away.
Memorável... Pura sensibilidade!
Thank you very much! I love this song since I was a child. Fantastic playing!
Thank you for another awesome Phil song,,,,The Best,,,keep up the great work Lee,,,,
Saturday, in the dark, I think it was some time in July...
People laughing, people smiling, a real celebration (of life)?
Smooth bass playing,so soulfull
Don Myrick, never disappoints.... Such tasteful playing..
Um dos maiores contrabaixo do mundo. GRANDE MÚSICO ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song always gets me. Tears in my eyes when that sax came in. Wow. Leland you did more than hold up the bottom, you added the depth the song deserves. Never heard this '85 version. What a magical time.
Perkins Palace!! Reminds me of growing up in Pasadena down the street from the old K-Rock buiding on Los Robles where Rodney on The Rock broke so many great bands. ;)
What a beautiful arrangement. You know Leland, you've given me a whole new appreciation for Phil Collins. He really is a spectacular talent. Man, that Bass is hypnotizing.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful lyric beautifully played on an awesome looking bass.
In my humble opinion one of the most deepest Phil songs. Thanks thanks Lee!!
This was awesome 😍 I have been a Phil Collins fan since I was about 12....now I am 48! I had the privilege of finally seeing him when he came to the states this past October. I do believe you were there!! Anyway, I thoroughly loved listening to you play this song! I closed my eyes and I literally felt every emotion in this song 💓 Hats off to you 👏....I just checked my videos from the concert and yes sir, you were there!! Oct 2nd 2019 Pittsburgh Pennsylvania ❤️
Many folks don't really get how complex and pure this is. I hope they do someday.
Le you are a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dark day. Thanks!!
Ahhhh…. Mr. Leland. This is my first visit to you. As a bass player, I loved every minute and the tone you put out put me in that altered state!
Beautiful song by Phil and the rest of the players. 💐💐💕
Gianni❤
Phil's Perkin's Place show is one of my favourite concert films! The version of The West Side on that is incredible
Sad song. Just beautiful, Leland. Thank you.
Hello from Melbourne. That tune is so much better when the bass is so crisp and audible. You make it look easy. So much skill.
So melodic bass line! Just perfect!!!
I would love to meet Phil Collins and yourself maybe one day!!!! You guys are music Kal geniuses.
Thank you for all of the amazing music throughout the years sir.
One of my favourite Phil songs, beautifully played. Just so tasteful, no fireworks and you got the stops too. Sublime. Thank you Lee.
I was just listening to this old gem, the studio version, in my car several times in a row trying to hear Clapton's guitar part. And then came here. I know you didn't create or record the original, Leland, but to say that you do a wonderful interpretation is an understatement. Thank you!
Nice to meet you, it is the first time in almost all my life i can see u talking!! 🇺🇾😃👏🏻u are the best!!!
Nice! Listening to this on a very warm Sunday afternoon. Thanks Mr. Lee!
Wow......really nice melodic upper register work towards the end there in G and G#. Very, very nice and per usual of your style. A total mood piece. Thanks to Phil for breaking this tune out!
Not taking anything away from the lovely tone of your playing but the sax was something else altogether. Great to hear you talking about Brand X, loved that album back in the day. Again the right blend of entertaining and interesting, have a great weekend.
I’ve just discovered this page and it’s a total joy. Thank you for the music!
So beautifull song , i was listening recently and i thoght " maybe mr Lee did posted something about...".and there you are ....so so great song , Collins so unique....and you do what you always do , make music lovers fell great again!! ..long live to you mr Sklar!!!!
Fantastic!!! I have always liked this song and seeing the base movement is just delightful.... thanks for sharing.... made my weekend
So beautiful!! If I played those exact notes, it would never sound as good as that. No matter how long I tried!! Thank you, Lee, loved it.
That's freakin' mellow. Those two "mudbuckers" on your Warwick bass are incredible!
Those harmonic taps are stunning.
Those harmonics were just icing on the cake. A wonderful, subtle part on this one. Such a lovely pick today.
Hahaha yes,
nice Sklarmonics :)
Amazing I was at Perkins Palace those two nights.....small intimate theater. It is missed.
When Phil broke out into "In the Air Tonight" that night I was blown away!! I have a copy on a old VHS of that concert that I bought at a ole Music Plus + store. I still break it out once in awhile.
Sublime bass playing. Chills.
Another Master Class!
just a beautiful track
Slow touching songs are harder to play than face melting songs, aren't they? The ads showed up at the worst times, but your slow slides still prevailed! Thanks!!
Ohhhh, what a feeling. Way too good. Thanks a million -
Beautiful.
I RREALY HEAR AND SEE THE FLUIDITY OF YOURE PASSION THANKS LELAND CRUSTY OLE DRUMMER PEACE OUT
Leland I love the little nuances you do on the higher frets and the way your fingers start trickling down the fret board! Well done!
Wow, awesome song!!
One of my favorite Phil songs. Love to listen to you play Sir!!
Hi Leland, to say thank you sharing your music . I really look forward to the pleasure of your company each evening after work . Best Wishes Sean
My favourite Phil Collins song. It reminds me of a wonderful time in my life in my early adulthood during the eighties. How I wish I could be young again.
Waouh j'aime beaucoup ❤️, une douceur pour les oreilles.
So beautiful, it melts my heart, creeps into soul, and screams talent, out of this world. Phil is so beautiful and talented, and the pain he's suffered in his lyrics are beautiful, no one should have to suffer that amount of hurt. I hope he can move on and be happy in his life, finally, with all the love to you 💗
Awesome pal nice listening to your work on a Sunday morning in bed with a coffee nice and relaxing.all the best 👍
Thanks for the classic Phil. I have a SDB Bootleg of that 1st Phil tour you saw.. One of my most cherished live recordings. Can't say enough about your immense talent Lee. Beautiful playing.
Yeah, I first captured it on FM radio back in the day Westwood one/ In Concert.
@@evankeal Hi Evan. That Westwood One is an abbreviated version of my whole show.
Pristine sound quality. Never heard Chester play better than that tour. Even with Genesis.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you again, Mr Sklar, for the stories and music.
Wow! Is that a beautiful song or what? Every time I hear some great saxophone ......and the string section it makes me want to cry. And of course the bass playin too! :). Thanks for sharing Lee!
Lee....you mentioned Perkins Palace. If memory serves me correct, my friend Gina Zamperelli ran that venue. She was an incredibly-successful concert promoter. She died about two years ago from health issues....and I miss her sooo much. We had a lot of mutual respect for each other in the biz. She was SUCH a wonderful gal.
Oh wow. I wasn't familiar with that song.
Your work is so tasteful and elegant.
I loved the little harmonics you used right towards the end.
Beautiful. As a great sentimentalist I loved this song and album and the work Phil did wth John Martyn on his albums of this period (both in the same frame of mind ..!!). John and his wife lived in the town I was born and we'd buy the albums from his house and see him down the pub and going 'over the hill' - Castle Hill .. :-) Thannk you so much for this and your lovely videos ..
Wonderful to hear how you guys communicated during a performance. Of course you guys are such great professionals.
Hello Leland ! Thank you ! Ciao from Milano Italy ! Stay safe and take care !
Oh wow I didnt know about the Phoenix horns, or the Australian rule. Very interesting, 8 horns and strings, that's awesome. Great replay
Bass vol is cranked... I'm one of those bass players that likes it loud!
