    Great stuff - thanks a lot for putting this together and thanks to Dave for playing along! Definitely some cool insight into his time with the band.

    Always liked Dave, and like him even more now. Very cool of him to do this for the fans during PJ20. I hope they do invite to play a few songs. He really is a very, very good drummer.

    I mean... listen to this shit... he is a monster.

    BTW... even Dave knew MSG 2010 was the shit! Wonder if he had good 10c seats :D
    - Have you seen any Pearl Jam concerts since your departure? If so, and if multiple, what were your favourite?
    i have seen PJ a few times. my favorite was last spring at madison square garden in new york city.

    Thx LMM & Dave K!!!

    What I take from this is thank god he is still around. When so many others have fallen by the wayside, OD'd, or unrecoverable, Dave has his life together, his family together, and will always be fondly revered by the PJ community. He sounds at peace with all of this, even though yes some of it is bittersweet. he is alive. and well. 8-)

    thanks again guys!
    I love to turn you on
