As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.

It was way out in the woods in a beautiful, huge log studio. Keith Richards came in and did the vocals with Levon. Again, a big party, but we did get a good cut out of it.

One of the things I feel very strong about is the achievement of the Band really being a complete band.

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.

That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.

I feel so lucky to have been in a group where it was a real band. This wasn't a singer and guitar player and some other guys.

Traveling the world was a constant thing, rich with experiences. But all of it was relative to being able to play live onstage and really stretch out.

Joining another big time rock band was the last thing I was looking for, but as the tour went on, I really dug playing to a lot of people, the band sounded great, and just being out there again, got me over my depression and so I decided to hop on board.
