You're "that guy"...you know, the one that goes to a Broadway or Las Vegas show and spends the whole time talking about what happens backstage, instead of enjoying and absorbing the actual performance. You probably think Hamilton wasn't groundbreaking because they used sets and costumes like every other musical... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't quite sound like "As Time Goes By," though...duet between trumpet and mello, happening like immediately after the Blue Rondo snippet. Then again, I'm also approximately infinitely more familiar with the original version of "As Time Goes By" than I am with the '97 version, so it's possible that I'm being thrown by virtue of it not being a guy with a piano.

cowtown Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Think the batwings appeared for the first time in 82, they used them a bunch afterwards, including 86 so in 2007 for their 50th, it was a nod to their past so you could fill in a few more years interested to see if they cover 77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think wings were used in 1986. They were used in 1991 and 1992 but they more like a "pant-wing" combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"As Time Goes By" (1997) is definitely there, a bit after Blue Rondo. It's a fairly recent addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
