Saw NDV with Mr. Big last night in Nashville. Obviously it really sucks that Pat’s gone. However Nick nailed it, not surprisingly. Such a magical connection in that band. Billy and Paul… insane chemistry. Haven’t seen them since the Bump Ahead tour. Bummer that it’s ending. Nick, talk them out of it!!

I'm watching this 7 months later you've uploaded, Nick. I'm very happy you share this thing and you're playing now on tour with Mr. Big. Pat is a big inspiration for me. Not too many people know he played Speed Metal on the first Impellitteri's album, simply brilliant. God bless his memory. Thanks again for this Nick. ♥️

Its good to see how much work you have put into playing like Pat. I bet the boys really appreciate it! I think its really good how you are honnering his momory like the band want to, its very nice to see. You are more than just a man to keep a beat at the back of the band doing what you have done! We all know you are your own drummer, but for this tour this is your job and i have seen some Japan shows and it is sounding very good! Keep up the excellent work Nick, I might get to meet you on the uk leg of the tour. xx

Pat is one of the all-time great rock drummers, and definitely one of my favorites. He also seemed like a super-nice guy. He even responded to a random e-mail that I sent him years ago, and was extremely gracious. Thanks so much for highlighting his great drumming in this video.
