*L*(sympathetic variant) @mid-fi-crisis...Your plantive post reminded me of a line in a concert vid I like....
"They know what they want, but they don't know what is what.....it just sucks.....WT*!"
One can spend phenominal $ 'chasing the spirit' of experience etched into ones' mind of a event in one's past.....
"It was like 'they' were Right There....in the room! I could almost hear them breathing!"
Imho....like most things involving technology used to evoke experience...one can only expect varying degrees of success to do so. The equipment, the room, the media can only get one so far....beyond that....
It's like a movie, a book, the 'thing' that lets one forget that you are involved with the suspension of disbelief....acceptance of a recreation of an event, a performance, that which carved a groove into your synapses....
Music, and the performance of it, is a funny thing in its' way. It has this way of penetrating deep into ones' psyche', invoking all manner of responses. Like a odor, a word, a thought, it triggers responses you'd thought improbable or forgotten.
And....it doesn't surprise me in the least that some or one can spend inordinate amounts to reprise these states...*S* And yet, be surprised that those same responses can suddenlly be invoked by something as basic as a car radio....or a desktop Bose....or an ancient receiver driving an old pair of speakers. ;)
That mass betwixt your ears is a marvelous thing.
And it will never cease to amaze you. ;)
Perhaps a case in point...if you're up to it....*beckoning finger, curling*

@ 34:15, an 'intro' to the familiar...the woman on the left @ 34:50 certainly feels so....*G*
@39:35, one is reminded of Fate....;)
For Someone @ that event....it's their 'high water mark', whether you agree or Not.....and the latter doesn't mean anything to anyone but You.
BTW.....FBS is only 10ish yrs. younger than yours truly.
I prefer excitement in my artful noises....;)
But, I'm just like that....*G*
I like my rollercoasters steep.....
Cheers, J
