This one has become my favorite Phil solo song. (Don't Lose My Number and the rest of that album are a close second, but, I love this one.) I actually got to play this song live on Valentine's Day. And I actually tried to live out the infamous "Chinese Whispers" and Urban Legend about this song, LOL! Any thoughts, surmises? Anything? That and also, this gives me an excuse to post this:

A Youtube playlist with many live versions, and a few good "remix" videos to the song.
Enjoy!

has "become" your favorite Phil solo song? He's played it at every concert he's done since 1982. I guess it kind of grew on you huh.

Can't say that it is one of my favorites, but it is a good song. I rather like to hear more drumming from Phil like on "I Don't Care Anymore", "I Wish It Would Rain Down","Inside Out".

Huh? I guess I know the urban legend about ITAT, but what is it with the Chinese Whispers?

Not really a big fan of this song. Easy lover is a great song though!

Did someone noticed the different of phil's drumming on the Jacket Tour (versus But seriously)?
In my opinion Phil made it more difficult for himself back in 1982-85...

Yeah PHil really played his ass off in those days, around the early 90's he slowed down a bit!

I love the Liveversion on the drums and the Piano-Version...
I can't say which one is better...
But there are some other Solo things I love as much as "ITAT" - I don't care anymore, If leaving me is easy, Take me home, Thru these Walls, Colors, Against All Odds, West Side, I wish it would rain down, Do you know and do you care, Inside Out....
But In the Air tonight is special - Don't know why...

"The west side" from the No jacket tour is one of my favorite!
