Yeah, I have to admit that's excellent.

Then I listened to Ten and Vs, just to check them out - I wasn't disappointed. Best live band of all time? That's difficult to say. Queen could have given them a good run for their money in their day. Different eras though, so it's all hypothetical.

I think of this comment all the time

[@juliobarca07]

I want to comment about Dave cause I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves. I'm a massive Pearl Jam fan and for me the sound that made them the legendary band that it is today is based on this man's approach to drumming. His pocket is perfectly laid back enough to give tracks the looseness that it needs to flow correctly. If you are a musician you know that there are lots of ways to land or fit inside a certain tempo, and this guy manages to do that in a perfect way. You could be a technical prodigy and be able to play any groove or any time signature, but these little things are what separate a great musician from a gifted one.

[@juvaljgonzalezz]

Totally agree, he deserved more credit.

[@estebantorresflor1055]

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. El sonido característico de Pearl Jam en gran parte es gracias a Dave.
