Your Favorite Līve Moments Ever Options

Rank Your Top 5 Līve Moments Ever.

Mine are...

1) Anticipating and watching the Secret Samadhi performance on SNL. College days for me! Tuned in on my little dorm room TV amongst friends. Lakini’s Juice and Heropsychodreamer were done with balls to the 14th power, and they made me proud.

2) Purchasing and listening to Secret Samadhi CD. It is like a moment frozen in time. I remember where I was, the weather, peeling of the plastic, in awe of its darkness, the smell of the liner notes, etc. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for anyone’s album release. Ever.

3) First seeing them on MTV, Operation Spirit video. It’s what got me into the band.

4) The MTV Unplugged performance. -By far, the best Unplugged.

5) Seeing them in concert for the first time & Chad T. acknowledging my Mental Jewelry T-shirt. -Fangirl moment, I guess.

Yours?

1. First Live show was at a small venue in Phoenix in 1994. There was a mosh pit during Beauty of Gray. Unreal.

2. Seeing them in a sold out large venue in Phoenix in 1995. Ed would go into the crowd for White Discussion during this tour and it was fucking amazing. Does anyone have video of this tour? They popped into one of the biggest bands in the world in that year timeframe after Lightning Crashes took off and then the other TC hits that followed.

3. Meeting the band for the first time in 2005. All of them were cool and spent quite a bit of time hanging out in the hotel bar after the show.

4. Jamming to Mental Jewelry, TC, and Secret Samadhi back to back to back and then repeat again on road trips with my best friend.

5. Hearing V and even though I love a few of the songs on that album, starting to think that they were beginning to run out of ideas and the magic might be fading. This was confirmed with the subsequent album releases and break-up.
