Ok so it's 2am on a Friday night, I've had quite a few beers and I'm lying in bed, lights out in pitch black with my headphones on listening to Secret Samadhi full blast. I'm suddenly transported back to a 12yr old when this album was released and my dad took me to my first concert. Even with my eyes open I can't see anything. I just am flooded with amazing memories, literally sitting on the edge of my seat as the first chords of rattlesnake are struck in Rod Laver Arena as my musical heros took the stage. The guys that until then were just sound coming through speakers, there they were, real people in the flesh! And I was lucky enough to see what is still one of the most amazing shows I've seen. Most 12yr olds didn't have a clue who Live were, Coolio and I dunno, Chumbawamba were probably the things most of my friends were listening to then. But I am just listening to Unsheathed right now and am utterly taken to another place and time and I'm absolutely love it.

What are some of your experiences when youve listend to Live and just had a "moment" when the absolutely nothing but Live mattered right then, whether it be powerful memories, life epiphanies, whatever. Times like right now for me that are utterly special because of Live somehow.


And as a side, fuck I hate iPhone spell correcting, even when drunk I know I don't want to spell "correcting" as "copes to" and so on. Quit making me take 5 times as long to type something as normal!

Seeing the guys for the first time in concert was the best Live experience I had, I think. It was magical - after playing their cd's sooo much - to see them for real performing. I'll never forget that!
