80, 000+ people fall silent to hear you sing. This is not just talent this is a legend.

[dabat]

No auto tune, no mixing, just a man, his piano and his pure voice

[brianbarnes]

fun fact; Phil Collins was the only performer to play both live aid shows. He literally had just gotten off the Concorde, jumped in a car and took the stage. He's a living legend.

[SoftRock]

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

[djwarreng]

When he missed that one key and grinned, I was soo grateful to know he is human just like the rest of us. Bravo Sir Collins! We'll remember this forever!

[arturgarncarz]

No fake fog, fireworks, lasers. Just a guy, towel, water and a piano. All it took. This is a real artist.

[Shaunrebelo]

Life without smart phones. Crowd simply njoying the music, the moment.

A Master. Playing the piano and singing at the same time is NOT EASY. What an incredible man, and the song that no matter how old, makes people cry.

[rustythompson]

In my opinion this is his best live performance of this song.

[QXZASX]

Phil makes a mistake at 1:06, shakes his head and smiles and carries on. A true legend. That's how greatness is achieved. When you screw up, shrug it off, smile, and keep pushing.

[mikedemaria]

That voice is a gift from god. Love from USA 🇺🇸 phil collins!

[mikesigncarver]

Probably the most beautiful song ever sung

[alfamily]

When he cracked that little smile when he hit the wrong key was priceless! Phil could do no wrong while performing, we just love him way too much!

[erichegwood]

It’s sad to know that this brilliant musician is now forced to perform from a chair and has lost his ability to play the drums and the piano. We were blessed and fortunate to grow up listening to the timeless music this man created. You can put on any of his albums and never skip tracks. Every song just as good as the previous. A pure musical genius.

My respect to Mr Collins, a great all in one. I hope to see much more of him.

[andypandy-qzom]

I was at Live Aid in 1985 and now I'm here in 2024, against all odds.

[NoName-slkx]

Some random guy in Burleson, Texas, some random night in December of 2023, Thanks you, Phil. Just thanks Sir. I was in a bad way in 1985-1986. You gave me hope, saved a guy who was lost that night, and I’m still here to see 2024. May you have happiness Phil, and enjoy the New year 2024, I hope you see this, praying for you brother, health n happiness in 2024

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world

This song is so metal...It hits like a punch in the stomach. Phil Collins is a true artist.
