This is right. On the "but your spirit is in the air" line, Edge strums the Eb a little longer than he previously does, and you can play a Db during the "Oooooooooh, they say in love, there are no rules" bit, but Edge doesn't.

Yeah, I usually play the Db (on piano especially) because it fills the gap a bit more for me - otherwise it sounds a bit empty?

I agree. Makes me wonder if he knew they were going into that snippet and just had to improvise on the fly (no pun intended.)

Indeed, although - snippet...que? I was thinking about the live version from Massachusetts...it would appear (yet again) that I'm not in the loop on something lol...

Did you do a piano cover of The Fly á la Elevation with the snippet at the beginning? Plus a version of Wave of Sorrow where you stuck your singing over the top of a vid of you on the piano?

That sounds great mate, I'm intrigued to see how you'd go about with HMTMKMKM though...especially on the piano. I'd imagine there'd be similar problems like I had trying to get around UTEOTW on piano (the main riff especially...)

Keep up the great work
