Thanks for sharing. It's a little disappointing to know that I may have almost gotten to see Jack play a song with PJ at Ohana. I kind of thought that was a possibility going into it. Not that the article says that was going to happen, but it sounds like it was as possible as ever. Cool article though.

He was awesome with them last weekend and it just adds another layer. I truly do not understand why people have such an issue with him being on stage. If I were a betting man, I'd say get used to it....I imagine he'll join them for the rescheduled dates as well.

I thought that it was made clear that his most important role was playing dominoes with Mike?

I hope he stays around, love the dimensions he adds in vocals and wveryrhing else after seeing him in Chicago.  Plus Stone seems happy to not sing

He bought me pie. He's golden in my eyes forever.

Josh killed it tonight in Fort Worth.

It might be blasphemy, but the guys elevated without MC to a level I haven’t seen in years. Not MC fault, or that Josh is better, but it lit a fire that I think the entire audience felt.

I was surprised when they played way past 11pm. That’s usually a hard curfew during the week. But tonight’s show didn’t end until almost 11:30pm.

Well one thing is for certain, whoever made the final call to get Josh on board playing live with the band, it was a masterstroke on so many levels.

7:30 show usually means 11:30 curfew
7 = 11

They did that Chi1 also...I was expecting the same on Chi2 but they stopped at 11:12

I live in DFW and have been going to concerts here for decades. I cannot ever remember a show going past 11pm unless it was a Friday or Saturday.

Here's the deal, he helped save last night's show, again. Still on the fence?

Josh deserves all the respect. seems like an awesome guy and we all know he is insanely talented and dedicated to putting on a good show 

mcgruff10

Just read that josh owns the drums Jack irons used to record no code and yield.  Whoa.  

CantKeepmedown

Yeah, I mean whatever they are paying him, he's more than earned it. He's saved them from at least 3 cancellations (where I'm sure the band eats a lot of money) and can more than hold his own in that role. What a great addition

Not only is Josh a great musician, but he is a very nice person.  I met with him and his former band mate in a business setting around 20 years ago, and to this day, he remembers my name, and always comes up to say hello when we run into each other at various gigs in Los Angeles.

Its great to hear stories like this.

Josh sat in our row in Sec 113 at Chi N1 to watch some of Inhaler's set.  I talked to him a little bit, and he seemed like a nice, normal guy.  (Which wasn't what I was expecting.)

lastexitlondon

What were you expecting?

HughFreakingDillon

yeah, kind of funny. I'd expect a nice, normal guy.

From all the spinning, and crawling around on stage, I thought he'd be a bit more eccentric.
