"I knew when the first chord was played the people in that room would feel like as if we have been always there."

"I knew when the first chord was played the people in that room would feel like as if we have been always there."

I can't say I'm especially fond of 'like as if', but you will hear it in the spontaneous speech of natives.

Use 'as if', or as a second choice (not as good) 'like'.
