Eric's performance is an awesome and entirely honest expression of the pain and beauty of his music. To watch him play is like riding on the tail of a dragon, but he is so gentle with his rider, you forget how high up you are or how intense the ride is.   He is perhaps the most generous performer I have ever watched, every bit of himself is given to the audience.   He's like a Marina Abramovic with a piano, completely and deeply committed, regardless of that pain.
