In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins (Original Post)

(72,432 posts)1. Covered This
Opened the evening with it many times.
I programmed one synth to play drums, bass & choir. The guitar player just brought in the occasional swell & the drummer did cymbal washes here & there.
From half way through the first verse until the end of the song, we did the vocal as 4 part harmonies. The whole band kicked in the same place as Phil's original version.
Smoke machine was belching most of the song and when the song kicked in we blow the Pyro.
Got everybody's attention on the very first song.
This song was on our original setlist, so this is the first song we ever performed live.

We did it around sixteen hundred times. I'd hate to think we bored that many people.
