    Don't just sing in front of thousands of people. Walk the stage over to, and up, the stairway perfectly in time. Then make your way over to a drum kit, just in time to sit down and play the most iconic drop of all time, while still singing. No biggie. Just LEGENDARY!!!

      I was so happy I got to go see Genesis in their final tour. Cried the whole time. I saw Genesis live in the 1980's, & have been in love with their music + Phil's solo stuff ever since. He has also been in 2 movies (that I know of) & he is an awesome actor as well. One movie is called Buster, & my favorite one is Fraud. You can watch them free on either CZcams or on Roku. I'll just say that the actor who plays Elrond in The Lord of the Rings is also in it. He was so young back then I didn't even recognize him! Lol!
      Everyone else in these comments have been thorough suggesting songs from Phil, so I'll just tell you thanks for doing this one & I look forward to other amazing songs by this legend. He did a duet with Philip Baily in the 80's called Easy Lover. It was released by Philip Baily. The music video is really creative!!!
      Y'all have a Happy Easter & a great weekend! 💜

      Unfortunately, I ended up doing that in 1985. Phil Collins played both Live Aids from Wembley Stadium in London, and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. Phil took the Concorde to NYC, then took a helicopter to Philadelphia. He played In The AIr Tonight on piano. Just him, no backing band. When the drum solo part came up, dead silence. I'm like NOOOOOOO.....

      That's what amazes me about it. Like, singing that live (presumably at the end of the gig too) would be hard anyway, but now do it while swinging both arms in rhythym. People don't factor that in really, your body shape and posture etc affects your voice, singing while drumming is incredibly hard.
      Pick a song you know the words to and then try singing along perfectly while pretending to drum along at the same time. Even if you don't know how to drum, just think about how hard that would be to do both flawlessly.

      Very true. My first ever live performance was a grammar school graduation gift (13 yrs old). It was the Supreme's just after Diana Ross went solo. Dad whispered to me, don't be upset if they don't sound like the recording or on the radio. At the opening note, I just turned to him and said you got that wrong. They were better than studio. LOL

      there absolutely was auto tune when this came out, he was using auto tune and a vocoder for the original recording. the difference is he used it as an effect to highlight certain notes not to tune the whole song.

    When Phil was in the studio recording this masterpiece, he didn't like the way the drums sounded on the recording. So his engineers and him together came up with "gated reverb". A new way of recording drums. It's now the industry standard, thanks to THIS SONG

    • @RobertKekuna
      @RobertKekuna Před 2 lety +30

      The gated reverb was "discovered" during the recording of Peter Gabriel's third album in 1980. It was a happy accident where Gabriel did something during recording and Collins, who was drumming, made a huge sound. They put that drum sound on the song "Intruder" on the album. This is why Collins knew this sound existed, and he put it in this song. Phil's "Face Value" album was released the next year, I believe.

      @@christinerobinson9372 I don't think it was ever released without drums. Collins played a recording without drums to Ahmet Ertugun, the head of Atlantic Records at the time. He told Phil to put some kind of percussion from the beginning. Phil told him that the drums come in at about 3 minutes, but Ertugun told him that record buyers won't know that and will lose interest before the big drum moment arrives. Of course he was right and the rest is history.

    It is certainly one of, if not the most iconic drum fills when he comes in, in rock history. Another thing that gets overlooked in this song musically is that even with all of the drumming, there are no cymbal crashes at the end of the fills which makes it very unique and affects the overall feel of the song rhythmically.

    Mr. Collins has a dislocated vertebrae in his neck from when he was playing with Genesis (he even came out sometimes in a wheelchair). Itwas incredibly painful for him to drum by this point, so to do that iconic drop? But he did it even though he had sometimes taped the drumsticks to his hands to keep holding them... Because yes, he's one of the very few drummers who also sings, and he's so badass at it. It's like the gift from god for all of us. He's since had spine surgery for it, but all the spine screws and stuff left him with a foot that goes numb all the time so he can't use his feet to drum anymore and he can barely stand up for a long concert. And he still powered on for so long with those injuries, it's incredible.
