Dadrian Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Anyone else love this song? So unique and well executed--and the Sting/Peter Gabriel vocals on the choruses blow it right off the charts! All that, plus the unforgettable Miami Vice scenes associated with it make it an all-time favorite for me. I find it very hard to skip on any playlist. It's hard to think of a better MV song! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach_Vice Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I love that song! Probably my number two Phil Collins song. I saw an awesome version of it live where the stadium audience sings the end of the song with him. So memorable, and the live changes made to the song are perfect! EDIT: found the clip on youtube...

Detective_Crockett Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I love that song also! fantastic song, I really loved how much Phil Collins gave to the series, In The Air Tonight, Take Me Home, Phil The Shill. If I'm not mistaken this song played in The Prodigal Son didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James Posted March 18, 2015 Administrators Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's a great song, but I wouldn't rate it THAT high. In The Air Tonight is the song I never skip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah that sequence from the pilot has to be the most memorable of the entire series, right? Even people who didn't watch the show seem to somehow know that scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Sonny, Thanks for posting, interesting version but I like the original recorded version best. When I lived in Miami in the 80s I used to listen to it on my small (for its day) casset player as I was jogging. The rythem in the background kept me moving.

Stinger390X Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I remember this concert with great fondness!I live in Niagara which is only one hour from Toronto and 35 minutes from Buffalo NY. Phil played this tour and I got tickets for both shows which were sold out by the way.The first night I saw him at the Gardens in Toronto. He played this song and I remember it well. Two nights later he was in Buffalo at the "Aud" and it was the same show.I liked the fact the he had Phil Baily and the horn section from Earth Wind and Fire playing with him as this was a great addition to the band. There was a screen behind the band that they projected pictures on from time to time depending on the song. The most memorable part of both nights however was when they did "In the Air". Phil sat on the edge of the stage and sang the intro with a single spotlight on him in a dark auditorium. As soo as it was time for the drum sequence, he jumped up and ran to his drums at the back of the stage and started playing them in unison with the electric drums in perfect tune. Together they brought the house down! You could feel the floor shake in the stadiums......The only other band I have ever seen have dual drum kits was SAGA I still have those ticket stubbs for those shows. Toronto Maple Leaf Garden reds were $14.50 and Buffalo north end second uppers were $12.75 I wonder what Katie Perry charges for a show? Thanks for the memories Phil.................................................... By the way I have an awesome 12"version of "In the Air" that is about 12 minutes long. It has a great drum track and is a bit more upbeat than the original. Edited March 26, 2015 by Stinger390X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
