Just listened to these this morning. As always, thank you for the insight into the world we love. I loved learning about "light" and "mercury". I love listening to interviews with Tom and could not have said it better than @Orangesox did above, "Tom is simultaneously one of us, another passionate fan, and yet a linchpin in the works. I admire his relaxed presence and playful self-awareness, which borders on deprecation." I find pure joy in how despite his "inner circle" circle relationship with Trey and the band, he is still just a phanner that gets overwhelmed and awed by the band.

I also respect how he doesn't compare shows or versions. He just goes to shows and enjoys the moment for what it is. Special.

Thank you to all!
