Abraham Laboriel Jr. it is.
Pearl Jam
Ohana Festival
Ed plays a few songs solo then….
{Ed starts Corduroy on acoustic, decides to switch to electric. He realizes he is gonna need a lot of friends. He wonders aloud if he has any friends around. The curtain that had been behind drops to reveal the rest of Pearl Jam with Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums. Abe has a question mark on his kick drum head}
I was gonna guess Josh Freese, as he seems to be able to drum for everyone.
So cheese.
Haha yes I read that. Very cryptic.

Fontaines d.c. ANNOUNCE for early next year, including Adelaide, much to my pleasure and abject shock.
1985 may be right, as Blue Ruin started then.
Talk That Walk interest me a little. One of the Pseudo Echo boys jumped ship to join them, and they were very highly hyped - as headlining a Sat night gig at The Corner would suggest. Released one (very average) single Surface Tension, got pushed heavily by Countdown and then… phut… Didn’t even get as far as releasing a follow-up single, let alone an album.
The singer (Clive Young) scored heavy airplay and a top 40 single with Something Special a year or two later, before he too disappeared.
Some things just weren’t meant to be I guess…
TISM tonight at Forum. Should be an interesting night.
Excellent gig
I really like Numb.
I’m seeing what is left of the Sweet (Andy with supports) in Geelong tomorrow. Got a shock when I realised how much Queenslander Mike Chapman contributed to '70s pop. Like Desmond Child and Max Martin he seems to have quietly powered different performers, sometimes rivals.
Mike wrote/produced Can the Can, Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Ballroom Blitz, Devil Gate Drive, Teenage Rampage, Living next door to Alice, Stumblin’ In, Hanging on the telephone, Heart of Glass, Union City Blue, Mickey, Atomic, the Tide is High, Rapture and My Sharona. Not a bad J&B Christmas compilation.
Excellent to hear. Going Saturday night. Very much looking forward to it.
Also produced The Divinyls and Baby Animals best material, and co-wrote Love Is A Battlefield, Simply The Best and Pleasure & Pain…
Wow, I’m down the rabbit hole now, what about Kelly and Steinberg? True Colours, Alone, Eternal Flame, I’ll Stand by You, I Touch Myself, Like a Virgin…
Jack Lee of the Nerves wrote that, didn’t he?
