Collins is a freemason... like most well know singers in bands like that.... the police, Queen.... get the gist?.... what's the lyrics telling you?..... look to other band lyrics..... Queen one Vision.... John Lennon Imagine.... the police... every breath you take.... what is it telling you..... freemasons are Luciferians.... new world order..... communist..... in your face.... and the lyrics are in all those songs, bands and singers....

She asked if I had plans for the evening. I said no, so she gave me BOX SEATS to PHIL COLLINS! The concert was that night in town, and it was a private box. It was SO amazing. I took my son bc we were in the box. So that is the story of how my son's first concert was Phil Collins at 6 mos old. My son is 18 now, and Phil Collins is one of his favorites.

Before there was Phil Collins as a solo artist, there was Genesis. Seeing them at a reunion concert at Dodger Stadium was amazing. He's not just a musician, songwriter, and singer, he's an ENTERTAINER. He had the entire audience believing the stadium was levitating 10 feet off the ground.

One of best songs ever.

Those of us who grew up in the 80’s had the best music. Genesis and a Phil Collins carved a new line in the sand of music!

Phill Collins is a fantastic drummer who sings incredibly well! He is an all around talent! He wrote this song about his divorce!

It's amazing how many great songs that he has. Watch his eyes. Alot of singers don't make eye contact with the audience. But Phil not only makes eye contact with his audience he also connects with his music.

Saw him a couple years ago. Due to physical ailments he sat for most of the concert. His 18 year old son played the drums which was special in and of itself, but then for this song, he stood. And his baby boy killed it on the drums 😭❤️😭❤️. What a beautiful thing to witness.

Yes. Saw that same tour in NC. He was in a great deal of pain , as he had undergone back surgery and went on tour anyway.

Those of us who got to see Phil do this in concert, in his prime, regard it as a near-religious experience. Some feelings can’t be explained, you just needed to BE there…

I did and you're right. The entire concert was one of the best live performances I've ever seen!

No dancers, no prancers, and no vixens... pure talent and connection with the audience. This is when 100$ for a regular seat is absolutely worth it. Another great performance, such as this, was when I saw Dan Fogelberg sing "Leader of the Band."

Not to take away from Phil but my most prized possession is my ticket stub from Led Zeppelin ‘1977, it was $9.50 for general admission and we wound up 14 rows from the stage.

I know by your reactions that it has really hit you, thanks for playing this ❤

I can't believe there is a person in this world who is just now hearing this song for the very first time. Amazing 🤩 one of my all time favorite songs ever !

When this song first came out, there were times when you would be sitting in your car, listening to the song, and then when the drum solo came (the part you said was badass), you'd see 3 other cars all around you all doing the air drums to that part. It was the coolest thing...

He slayed the 80's. Every other song on the radio was his, and not the same one being played over and over like today! Almost every song he touched was a banger! This song is when he went solo. He's always been percussion and lead vocals. Check out his first band Genesis.

Phil Collins is one of the greatest singers and drummers of all time I grew up with him and he is fantastic

I've enjoyed listening to this song so many times but watching Polo react to it made it feel like I was hearing it for the first time again. What a song. Phil Collins is on another level.

I remember when this played on Miami Vice. Blew us away because the context of the episode was matching perfectly to the lyrics. Absolutely one of the best live performances of all time.

This was when it was all talent.

This video was recorded "Live in Paris" when it was already world famous for near two decades. Music nerds knew that drum-break coming and anticipated the whole song. But can you imagine how that felt when it hit the people first? Fresh on vinyl - lots of former Genesis fans now curious about Phil's first solo album. And then thunder struck...
