you know, a hero and a friend. And it's just amazing to me, you know, the people that inspired me now that, you know, they like what I do. And that just means a whole lot to me.

Yeah, I've definitely done some venues where it was pretty daunting at the time. I remember, you know, sometimes, I don't know if they're anxiety attacks, but my wife remembers when she came to see me backstage at one of my shows and I was curled up in a fetal position on the floor going, Because I was so nervous. But I've played the Hollywood Bowl a few times.

I played Carnegie Hall fairly recently. You know, Red Rocks is always a huge thrill to play. And on this upcoming tour, we're playing Madison Square Garden, which blows my mind. And we're also playing the Los Angeles Forum, which means a lot to me because it's my local gig. And it's the first place I ever saw a rock show. And I remember in the mid-70s, I went to see Elton John there.

And it was a big ordeal for me to go to a rock show because, again, my parents were very protective. And they just were so worried about me going to a rock show. So I almost had to run away from home to be able to go to that show. But I just remember watching Elton John from the nosebleed seats with my binoculars and just having the best time.

Yeah. No, I mean, I wasn't completely falling apart, but I was definitely, definitely nervous. And it's just for certain shows and certain occasions. I get nervous at the beginning of tours because...
