(Piano/Keyboard Combo recorded on the two live camera mics.)

100% Live / No overdubs / Whenever you hear a drum fill or the drum sound change (other than the first intro measures), that’s me reaching over with my right (strumming) hand and pressing the button for “fill” or “ending” on the keyboard (and trying to not hit the “stop” button which is right next to the “fill” button!).
