WMA on a night your drummer isn’t even there.

Where’s Matt?

On paper that looks to be my favorite set of the tour.
Looking forward to hearing these two shows on Sirius in a couple weeks; might actually get the boots.

I've only listened to a few songs so far, but Ed sounds much better on night 2.

Strat, did ed say anything about how matt was feeling/recovering?

Yes he sneezed a couple times and tested positive again so he remains in the cryo chamber.

I listened to a bit of the WMA clip and WOW…that’s the best they’ve played that since…I don’t know, but it sounded sick af.

You do know when. 4/3/94

That was goddamn kick-fucking-ass.

As much as I love Matt, I may have to be team Spenno on this. Richard. Woo boy

Also, this band just played back-to-back shows with rotating drummers and had very few repeat tunes from the first night to the next. That’s pretty badass.

(Totally fucked my fantasy picks however…)

Fascinating. Can’t wait to hear these boots.

WMA has always been further down my personal list but that was a really good version.

Is it his kit or Josh’s?

Watching Josh deliver on some of these makes me really confident that his addition to the lineup was a much more calculated decision than we previously thought. I think PJ saw the pandemic, probably talked to some really smart people, and said "At some point, one of our guys is gonna get sick. Who can play any instrument on a bunch of different songs?"

I've shit on him a lot, and I still think he was the wrong fit for RHCP. But this is me eating crow, saying he's a great addition to the band, and he is obviously having a blast playing drums on some of their lesser-known songs -- and he's doing a GREAT fucking job of it.

I'm still riding high. Man alive. Been a long time since I've been left with this from a pj show.

Lots of talk about drummers but Ed sounds absolutely fantastic. Still not much better than his voice booking through an arena. Long road was wonderful. Ed was also moody and I want to know why
