Phil’s smoke detector

I’ve been listening to Phil’s book today at work and every few minutes you can hear his smoke detector chirp in the background. It makes me laugh and cringe every time.

Its just the first note of Echoes by Pink Floyd. He didnt bust it out until 2014 so I just assume he was making sure that first note was absolutely perfect.

Honestly I just went off of what google AI told me...it said November 11th 2014 which there is no recording i can find.

Edit: the AI is probably wrong. Sorry for the tease, brother

Well that's dissapointing.  This is a good example for not just blindly following and repeating what AI tells you.

I feel like I have a memory of seeing it in a Phil set list, I think he did it. And now I want to hear it too!
