Favorite music?

[Backfromthedead]

I know exactly what you mean, i used to love festivals and going to gigs. In my travelling days I worked at the glastonbury and reading festivals in the U.K. It was the best fun I could have had back then. I took my 5 year old to a small local festival here just before lockdown. It was small and the bands werent very good but she loved the vibe which was a good sign.
Im not sure if big festivals will be profitable if/when we recover from covid. I cant see anything on the scale of glastonbury or lolapalooza happening for a long time. Poor young dudes will have to be content with sharing spotify playlists of cardi B and playboy cardi.

Yeah the local festivals we're the best. Usually less of a music event and more just a gathering of the thousand coolest people withh the best drugs In the greater area. "Con te partiro" I suppose.

Being alive for 48 years now I saw the birth and expansion of a lot of new music styles, types etc. So over the years a have learned to like many different types from county to rap to classical to classic rock. Some songs have seasons like Will Smith Summer Time, is a summer only song. Grunge rock is winter rainy music.

I still remember the day I got my first Sony Walkman. MJ Thriller and Cindy Lauper.

Living in the Pacific Northwest I got to see the birth of a lot of bands and saw most of them before they blew up at Pine Street Theater in Portland Oregon. Bands like Nirvana, Sound Garden etc. Tho my best music show I ever saw was three days of Greatfull Dead in Seattle then two days later three more in Portland.

I'm envious. I got to see Chris Cornell play with audioslave almost 15-20 years ago but never got to see some of my favorite grunge acts. I always say if I could time travel just once I would go back to see AIC live.

Thats some cool bands to have seen live. Nirvana only toured here once, apparently they werent very good due to cobains "stomach problems"
A question for you though, when you saw these bands when they were upcoming were they really that good, I mean could you see the potential of what they would become. I ask because if you see a documentary about them everyone will say " i was at their 3rd show and could tell they were going to conquer the world man" but if you see footage or hear a bootleg most bands dont really sound great when starting out. I always wondered if it was due to poor recording quality and you really needed to be there to get the full effect. or its just hindsight and people acting like they knew they were witnessing the birth of something great, not just seeing a band in a bar.Just something ive always wondered.

I think 3 days of the grateful dead would be more than enough for anyone, the way theystretch out the jams when play live they might have even got through 5 songs!
