As a big PJ fan who got to see Josh play the Oakland shows in 2022 and fill in for Matt on drums, I can say that I would be thrilled to chat with Josh in the crowd before PJ takes the stage. I suspect most, if not all, PJ fans feel the same. Josh’s versatility and talent has been a great addition to PJ live.
I have to say, while not being a fan of either Pearl Jam or RHCP, I have to utmost respect for this guy. His talent aside, the discipline and drive it takes to sit down and learn someone else's catalog, or potential setlists, alone is crazy.
Well he's mentioned that he's really tight on time to complete all his projects I was just helping him with his time management situation...... And the rest of ours.. lol
Just a time-saving tip for you Josh: If you eliminated the ums, and I dunnos and you knows out of your vocabulary, you would have knocked this out in about half the time.
