"(on OBreins returning to performing) Having not been onstage for a while, he wondered, Are these people going to want me around? We were, like, Come on, Pat. Youre Pat OBrien. These people want to see you. I can appreciate how he felt about it after all he had been through. I could imagine there was an intimidation factor about it. We got up there and he said, I think Im going to lay low in the back, get up and play and be done. As soon as we got onstage and people saw him, the place went nuts. I said to the crowd, Hey, look, you all know Pat, right? Show Pat some love. And they went nuts. They adore this man. Who wouldnt? If you ever met him, hes one of the nicest people youd ever meet. Hes one of the greatest at what he does, too. Then he started taking pictures with people and talking [after the gig]. He had a big smile on his face. That was so worth it. Here was a guy who needed a good break in his life and we needed help from him to get the show done. It couldnt have been any more perfect."
Pat O'Brien (guitarist)
