    I think it’s safe to say that Questlove has been waiting for this moment for all his life?
  • Best part was Questlove's smile after the solo. He just completed every drummer's lifelong dream.
  • The drum solo is always gonna be iconic, but the guitar leading up to "that moment" will always be so hauntingly great.
  • @jacko646697
    Heartbreaking to see him getting old and ill and to see the struggle within him. But still insane how he pulls this off nevertheless. This song will be in my heart forever. And so is he
  • @GodInTheMachine
    Phil's commitment to popped collars should not be overlooked
  • @PurpleRose1
    I heard Jimmy say that Questlove was nervous as hell throughout this performance because he wanted to get the drum part perfect. He nailed it though.
  • @richj6596
    You can see how much pain he is in, but he made it thru the song like a master!! I absolutely love Phil Collins! Great performance by him and the whole band!
  • @snowdjagha
    The smile on Quest's face when Phill applauded him says everything.
  • @yerboi5281
    Holy shit, the chills when quest love smashed this drums
  • @Conceptcreator
    For people like this you just wish age wasn't a thing!!! These kinds of talents pffff they are special!!!
  • @susieq965
    Phil Collins is definitely one of the best musicians & singer/songwriter of the 20th & 21st Centuries! He deserves every award there is!
  • Of course the drums are iconic here but this song would not be what it is without the amazing guitar playing of Daryl Struermer.
  • @sadman7021
    I really love how they didn’t make him sing that really high part and let him improvise for that I love him so much he’s one of the G.O.A.T.S
  • @yamilelopez4140
    i love how you can hear the age in his voice. Makes it feel like such a more old timeless song
  • @Sulikowsky
    Real voice. No playback. No voice modification, just pure talent.
  • @prodbynate1
    You can tell Phil’s a drummer, the way his energy came out when the drums kicked in, he felt comfortable as soon as that fill started
  • No song composed in the last 30 years comes anywhere close to delivering such a powerful build up of tension and explosive release as that iconic “In The Air Tonight” drum fill. Brings tears of joy to my eyes - and Questlpve nailed it with perfection. Thank you Phil Collins and The Roots!!!
