Did you know he sang in England just hours before. He flew on Concord to make it happen. Only musician to play on two continents in one day. Phil rocks !!!

[CHOICEBETWEENFEARANDLOVE]

The mistake was so cute 👍🏼

Voice of an angel

[natewilliams]

I know it's a small thing but I love when he hits a wrong note on the piano, towards the beginning of the song, smiles and moves on with, possibly, more focus. Life long performers always seem to rise above any mistake while they're performing. So cool

[lindataghon]

Phil doesn't NEED glitz dancing around the stage half naked and all the gimmicks attached to it! HE has everything that represents PURE UNADULTERATED TALENT! This is what makes an ARTIST and a LEGEND. PHIL has it ALL!!!

[ThunderPants]

Phil Collins is a massive talent. How ever much credit he gets, it aint enough.

[Anne.Pinkerton]

He also write the songs! Someone told him once that he "didn't have the face" to be a front man with the group! He sure proved them wrong!

[lindasikorski]

Phil writes his own music.too. Words, music, arrangements...Total genius.

[annettemoore]

P.S. he got asked once how he rated himself...he said I'm a songwriter first, a drummer second and a singer third, he never even mentions his piano playing 🤣 I would have kidnapped and married Phil if I'd have got close enough, 🙄

[keithjames]

When Phil Collins was young he played the drums for Muddy Waters at the Chicago blues festival and played the drums for Eric Clapton in the 1980 at one of Eric’s concerts This man was just God given talent He could play instruments and had a great and unique voice and some of the best song writing skills on the planet

[stevefoulston]

Said Collins: "That song was written during my first divorce. My first wife and the kids had gone and I was left there. The song was written out of experience as opposed to a 'what if' song. If that personal stuff had not happened to me at the time, I probably would never have made an album, and if I was to have made an album eventually, it probably would have been a jazz/rock thing. Without that stuff I wouldn't have felt the stuff I felt sitting at a piano night after night, day after day writing stuff." peace out

[mrtyreus]

Above all else, he's a drummer. One of the best.

[spacedisco]

"And you coming back to me, is against the odds, and that's what I've got to face ..." People need to hear this, as true today as the time he wrote it

[amiegee]

Against all odds was written for the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the 1984 movie Against All Odds.

[chriskelvin]

Did you know that Phil Collins was so S-tier back then that after he played the Wembley Stadium Live Aid set, he jumped on a Concorde and flew at over 1300mph to NY, then travelled to JFK Stadium in Philly to play drums for Led Zeppelin at the sister Live Aid concert there!

[rkgator]

He sang with Genesis since 1970 thru the 90s, so you are right, his voice can carry over a rock band, but still sound so good. He is pitch perfect and has impeccable timing. His emotion is so, so well felt. (oh, and he played leading roles is a couple movies too!)

[mommyemily]

This song just reminds me of my mom who passed away in 2021 😭 “just a empty space there nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face”

[WTFBIS]

Against All Odds was written, composed and performed by Phil for the movie of the same name. It looks like this performance was from Live Aid on 7/13/85. The concert was held at Wembly Stadium in England and at RFK Stadium in Philly yo help raise money for the Ethiopian famine. Phil performed in BOTH countries that day by flying from London to Philly. Queen’s performance at this concert is regarded by many as the greatest live set in rock history. It’s great that you appreciate singer/songwriters. You need to hear some early Genesis with Phil. 🔥

[dantedrago]

This performance is from the Live Aid concert in 1985. He was the only performer to play live at both places on different sides of the globe on the same day. Phil Collins played this song, and then a few with Sting at Wembley Stadium in England, then jumped on an SST jet to Philadelphia, where the other half of the concert was being performed. He arrived in time to play with Eric Clapton, and just for kicks, sat in on drums with Led Zeppelin for their set. Also being a huge fan of Tool, you should know that the members of that band were influenced by Genesis (Phil's band). You should listen to the studio version of Mama, by Genesis. In my opinion, it is one of Phil's best vocal performances. It will give you chills. You fell down the wide rabbit hole with Tool, and it is just as wide with the band Genesis. Both with Peter Gabriel as the lead singer, then Phil. I enjoy your reactions. Keep up the good work.

Phil Collins was a true musician. He understands the music he writes, tone, pitch, melody, and harmony down to the notes on the page. He plays multiple instruments and wasn't a 1 trick pony. He wrote some of the best songs I've heard outside of my love of hard rock/heavy metal.

[zackhosking]

These older artists are why i still love music today
