It was his first multi-song performance with the band since he left in May 1991

    I checked out some YouTube videos from Fresno.  He sounded great.  The ten songs just sounded like they should and better than any other drummer.  There is something about the way he plays that is a perfect fit for Pearl Jam.

    These non-Matt shows are the first time in like a decade that I intend on buying boots of shows I didn’t attend. Nothing against Matt of course, but it’s cool to hear the band’s sound shaken up a bit, even if it’s just for a few shows.

    Will post more thoughts on this later but in short, it’s so fucking cool that this band turned a member out with COVID into an opportunity to do something unique and memorable with/for their fans each night. I’ve been a fan since I was 12 years old — the entirety of the band’s existence— and each time I think I couldn’t be more impressed, they prove me wrong. Bravo, fellas.

    Dave Krusen on the Ten songs was such a treat. It felt SO right, like I was falling in love w/PJ all over again. Really a transcending experience for me. Loved it.

    I love Matt, but the 10 songs sounded the way I always wanted to hear them.  Great show!
