Sigh

Neurosis

Isis

Dweezil Zappa

New York Philharmonic

Also, ten or eleven jazz groups at a few places around the city. One of them was a Coltrane set at the Zinc Bar. It was divine! It took four bands to cover all the phases of his career, and he died in his early forties! Still not much of a fan of his late free-jazz stuff, though.

Sadly, I've only gone to two concerts in my life. Of course, both were Japanese bands who toured in the USA and we were lucky enough to have visit the east coast.

VAMPS (July 11, 2009)

X Japan (October 10, 2010)

Both were the best experiences of my life. I'll remember the X Japan concert for the rest of my life. To have such a legendary band over in Japan come here, and to be able to see them... It's a memory I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

Reverend Horton Heat

The Ramones

Most concerts I've ever been to for ONE band? Between 1975 and 1979, 25 times. Saw them do this very song in this very year. This is exactly as I remember them. They ran hot and cold. When they were "ON," they were the greatest live band of all time bar none no question. They created MAGIC! You HAD to experience it! The Grateful Dead do not have fans. They have converts. To real fans of "The Dead," they are not a band. They're a faith. I had SUCH crush on Donna Godchaux:

Just bought tickets to see Jethro Tull next month, outdoors at the winery. Hoping for no rain....

Getting ready to go to the New Orleans JazzFest today - music of all kinds on multiple stages.

I am looking forward to hearing Delfeayo Marsalis - I know his two brothers and each of them told me that Delfaeyo was the best musician of the three - I cannot wait!

Love ya,

Sally

That sounds awesome :) I soooooooo wishy wish I could see The Grateful Dead live, I always thought it would be an experience more than anything else. They made some many incredible songs, when I listen to them it takes me away to another place in space and time. The only other musician that does that to me is Lou Reed.

For mainstream bands I've seen:

Smashing Pumpkins -- once with the original lineup, and the next after they regrouped

The Cure -- three times

Depeche Mode -- twice

Pet Shop Boys

Recoil

Tiesto/David Dresden

Benny Benassi

For the person above who asked about the Smashing Pumpkins, they're pretty good live when Billy Corgan's having a good night. The first time I saw them, in Philadelphia at a medium-sized venue, his singing was kind of off key and he seemed partially disinterested. The second time, at an arena concert, he seemed to be having a better day, and the performance was better. I believe the band is touring now, but since Jimmy Chamberlin left, I don't think they'll be that great live.

Saw Ronnie Montrose and his band last night @ the Backstage in Tacoma. He can still shred with the best of them @ 63 now. Hard Rock lives on !!

http://en.wikipedia....Ronnie_Montrose

It was announced today that Ronnie died. What a legend guitar player, he played with some of the best. That first Montrose album with Sammy was simply killer and so much more. This was the music I grew up with.

He rocked T town just a few months back, and it was great see him live then, gald I did !!

Bless you Ronnie

Saw Edgar Meyer (Master of the double Bass) last night http://en.wikipedia....iki/Edgar_Meyer

It was just him and his Bass for 2 hours, amazing and wonderful original compositions. The accoustics at the Pantages theater were quite good, and his dynamics amazing, so soft could you hear the slightest of string growls, all the way up to fortissimo.

I've been to the warp tour about 5 times now and usually about 40 bands playing, and I get to see about 15 each time. But the most memorable from the warped tour were: Flogging Molly, New Found Glory, Bad Religion, Good Charlotte, Rise Against, All that Remains, and NOFX. I've also been to just regular concerts or bands at look bars so I have gotten to see Usher, Nickelback, Creed, Sevendust, Boyce Avenue, Christian Kane's band, Nora Jones, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson and more over the years. Yeah I can listen to about anything really.

My first show was RATM a long time ago, and I have seen more bands than I can remember since then. Living in the live music capitol of the world has it's perks. I have seen DMB about fifteen times now in different venues form west to east coast and thru Florida and into the Bahamas (Jam Band Cruise) and am going to make it seventeen by he end of May. Can't wait going to Houston and Dallas shows back to back.

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
