I saw Pete Townsend smash a guitar on stage (made me sick). I saw Billy Joel knock over a Yamaha CP80 on stage in Russia (he offered it to them as a souvenir, they told him to take his trash home with him). I heard that Jerry Lee lit his piano on fire at a show (what a waste) ...

Jaimie is not the first piano man to stand on a piano or kick the keys with his feet, but I admire his stage presence, his energy and his musicality, in spite of the unorthodox ways he gets through some changes.
He was quoted last month in Keyboard mag as saying that he only tours with his favorite Yamaha model because it stays in tune the whole show. I really don't see it as abuse, but it's not my style of performance either.

As long as he doesn't ruin anything, it's ok with me. I especially love the Rhodes 54 that he has on stage ... beat up a bit by the road, but still sweet sounding. Then again, I am an admited Rhodes junkie.
