Agree, The greatest shame is that his energy live doesn't transfer on his records. His playing is always impeccable, but seeing it live is a sight to behold!!
Could you imagine playing with him

I was lucky enough to get to one of his drum clinics in a small hall in Keighley maybe ten years ago. It was pretty poorly attended so it was no problem to get right up to the edge of the low stage with no barriers. I have to say, it is a pretty impressive experience getting up close while he is laying into the kit! Whether he was playing solo improvs or playing along to RHCP tracks in the PA. He is also a pretty good raconteur /comedian, all in all he came across as a pretty good guy.
