i put on a recording o this son the show of a band called a tavarus. And it was like i stepped into a musical hallucination. In all the years i had worked in music, i didn't feel the emotion of the music. But now i was feeling the emotion of it, and it was just overwhelming. I thought to myself, this must be what all those people in the audience were feeling they listened to those shows. It's like i was back there at the show. And i could, i could almost smell it, and i could feel it. The brilliance kind of faded away, andd i went to sleep. An amazing night.
