As somebody who has suffered with agoraphobia for 30+ years, I’m so happy he was able to do this.

I was there for both shows, right at the barrier, in line to see them (him) at Knotfest right now!

On Thursday, you could really tell he was nervous. Avoided looking at the first rows, wasn’t too playful, didn’t interact as much as he usually does here. There were problems with the sound too, but nothing awful.

Last night, he seemed SIGNIFICANTLY more comfortable and confident in himself. He talked more, stared at us for longer, played around with the rest of the band a bit. He smiled more often too. It was a gift!

Obviously, this is my impression and I might be misinterpreting his demeanor in my own excitement. I truly hope he is feeling as better as it seemed. He deserves it
