"The last show of last year, where we did the hour-long, two-song set in Oakland with tons of improv; that was the first time I had played completely pain-free in two years," Russo said about 11/11/18. "While we were playing, I was just crying I was so happy, because I was FREE FROM THIS THING. The guys in the band were welling up, seeing me feel like myself again. And that was so beautiful too, because they were so supportive of me during this few years, and I saw them struggling too, to deal with it and deal with me; this miserable fuck in excruciating pain all the time, just trying to feel better. It was such a great moment for all of us to just end the year that way. It was so triumphant to end the year like that and even get to have that moment at all, that it made me happy this all happened. If you can believe that."Source: http://www.chicagonow.com/lists-that-actually-matter/2019/07/joe-russo-on-the-divided-mind/?fbclid=IwAR39lCnGEOk1lBWg50QMi5Q2xAXZWJ-ATGWs4LlucNEfK67lpMk1gz2dAho
