Officially the best band to ever see live were the Who in the 1960s and 1970s, they seem to top nearly every "best ever live act" poll.

I've always thought it odd that what a lot of people consider to be "the best live act" doesn't usually offer you the opportunity to actually be anywhere near the band, but rather revolves around the production and stage effects. IMO, the best live show I've ever been to gave me the chance to be packed 150 kids deep in a very small, very acoustic basement only 3 feet from the group. Being able to hop on stage with the actual performers and scream your head off is basically what makes shows worthwhile to me, or just the fact that you're there more as a means of being a part of something rather than all the standing and waiting, then finally getting to watch the act from afar. More often than not the musics better too :)

Thats a band I would've liked to have seen in concert, except for when Keith Moon was to fucked up to play. Like their concert in Cleveland when Moon passed out on stage and they had to retrieve a drummer from the audience.

The Who definitely had to be one of the best live concerts to see back in the day.;)

That's not a good guess blaster, that is absolutely what I incoherently rant about over and over again.:) You have been listening not simply to my rants, but, you have been listening to yourself think. And, that answers your question about Logos. The Word of Providence that exists and connects all of us. Cosmic Consciousness, the Holy Spirit, that is called many things depending on the teachings.

When you wrote this you were not guessing, were you? You knew what you were typing was Truth. Something inside you clicked, and, you knew, you did not have to guess. Am I correct? I know I am, because that is how it works. No one 'talks to god'. It is a 'thought' process, that is very subtle, and, more like an 'aha I get it'! You get a little rush, and, you know what you are thinking is Truth.

Dylan never stops singing about Maggie. Notice the story this time, however. I won't quote scriptures, but, check out the concepts of "bride and bridegroom", which is a major portion of the teachings of Logos through Jesus, as well as all other teachings. Spiritual unification.

Most love songs are about 'lost Loves'; the happier ones are always done by women.




1. Oh, where is little Maggie
Over yonder she stands,
Rifle on her shoulder,
Six-shooter in her hand.

2. How can I ever stand it,
Just to see them two blue eyes,
Shinin' like some diamonds,
Like some diamonds in the sky.

3. Rather be in some lonely hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine,
Than to see you be another man's darling,
And to know that you'll never be mine.

4. Well, it's march me away to the station
With my suitcase in my hand,
Yes, march me away to the station,
I'm off to some far-distant land.

5. Sometimes I have a nickel,
And sometimes I have a dime,
Sometimes I have ten dollars,
Just to pay for little Maggie's wine.

6. Pretty flowers are made for blooming,
Pretty stars are made to shine,
Pretty girls are made for boy's love,
Little Maggie was made for mine.

7. Well, yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hand,
She's a drinkin' down her troubles
Over courtin' some other man.


peace blaster. Thanks for taking the time for my nonsense. You've definitely woke Her up.

I went to the midnight movies in 1980 tripping my a&s off, and watched "The Wall". I swore I saw Satan:) And, the first time I saw them in concert, I dove to the floor when the pig flew over the stadium. Acid, not shrooms. And, tequila.
Nothing shows you a divided Spirit better than a good hallucinogenic.:)

Steve, you should write a book.

And I would say that The Allman Brothers were the best band to see live, and still is one of the best live bands.

I have blaster. Four and working on five. Publishing is the problem. It takes money now, and, that is the problem.

Did you ever get a chance to see Stevie Ray Vaughan? Three times, and, he was arguably the best live performer I have ever seen.

peace bro

Based on watching them perform live on the "Isle of Wight" dvd and the 2 songs that were shown on the "Woodstock" film, I`d say from a neutral perspective they were the band to see live, even more so than Zeppelin.

Good idea, as long as its not about Dylan.

You mean it could have actually happened some place worse than Cleveland Ohio?:laughing:

Just seeing Keith Moon play live on stage alone, would've been worth it.

Was it actually Woodstock, when they had to carry him off the stage?

I wounder if the rumor they recruited a drummer from the audience, is correct?

No I'm not quite old enough to have seen Stevie, sadly.

The Keith Moon collapse happened at The Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1973.

Cleveland was the site where fans were trampled to death in 1979.

I'm tempted to say that smoking marijuana makes everything better but I really mean drinking booze.

One thing that alcohol doesn't make better is critical thinking. Haha. It surpresses that voice inside your head.

marijuana makes driving a boat better

That would have been Cincinnati. 1980. Take it from an Ohioan:) The end of General Admission seating.

True blaster. Alcohol is a CNS depressant. It has, however, landed many people in critical condition or dead.

How many people do you think have smoked a joint, and, went home and beat their wife? Or, smoked a joint, and, ran over ten kids in an Amish buggy?

Alcohol brings out the worst in most people, and, yet it is the 'legal' drug. It suppresses that better part of men that marijuana brings out. Ironic to be sure.

BTW, you spelled suppresses wrong:)

:beer:

Sadly, I am old enough to remember "Little Stevie Wonder".

Ob-la-di-ob-la-da. I wrote a little parody years ago when Cheney shot that dude in the face. If you remember it, here's the tune.

Ob-la-di-ob-la-Dick

The second highest leader of the USA
Took a buddy to his favorite hunting place
Said to Wittington this is a perfect day
As he turned and shot his friend right in the face!

Ob-la-di-ob-la-da life goes on bra
Oh how Cheney’s life goes on
Ob-la-di-ob-la-da life goes on bra
But never trust a Dick holding a gun

Cheney is a player in the marketplace
A greedy, rich and loyal Neo-con
But, when you go out to your favorite hunting place
It might be wise to put your glasses on

Ob-la-di-ob-la-da life goes on bra
Oh how Cheney’s life goes on
Ob-la-di-ob-la-da life goes on bra
Next time you want a mugshot, try Nikon

Whittington was wiping off his bloody face
Dick looked for a doctor for his friend
But the specialist he found to treat this special case
Took 18 hours to prepare the spin.

Ob-la-di-ob-la-da life goes on bra
Oh how Cheney’s life goes on
Ob-la-di-ob-la-da life goes on bra
But, it’s hard to hold a beer and shoot a gun.

You're right. I think if some alcoholics smoke some weed then they might realize how bad alcohol is.:laughing:

Yep. Alcohol, however, is physically addicting. Weed is not. It all comes down to money, and, corporate control of the masses. And, what you originally pointed out. The PTB does not want anyone 'thinking'. Keep em' numb and dumb, and, watching NASCAR.

No offense to NASCAR fans. Google Noam Chomsky blaster. The "liberal' media has effectively silenced him, but, he tells it like it is. He's about the smartest dude no one has ever heard.

peace

Also, coffee is really awful on weed. It's the only food or beverage that I know of that's better to have sober than high.

I don't think lucifer_sam would agree with that:

And I take issue with your comments on alcohol. Nothing will aleviate my addiction to Scotch, and it's never done me a bit of harm, and I've never watched NASCAR!

I never said I was addicted. The sheer ease with which I parted company with the drug is itself evidence to that.

There was just a much bigger element to chemical dependence on marijuana that affected my sleep cycle. I really didn't get much restorative sleep when I smoked habitually...I've only started dreaming again this last week and a half or so.

I'm not objecting to taking the occasional toke at a concert or something, it's just a habit of mine that needed breaking.

In contrast, I've had HUGE problems in the past when I drank heavily -- being cognizant of those harsh physical withdrawal symptoms now affords me an element of control when I'm around alcohol.

Interesting... There seems to be an important distinction between "habit" and "addiction". Addictions are something embedded into your way of life, wheras habits are merely ritual, and are much more easily broken. That's not to say it's easy, though.

Nothing wrong with that LS. When you stop enjoying anything, it's time to stop. Personally, I quit black tar heroin about three hours ago:)

kidding. One of just a few drugs I've never done. The only drug I condone is weed. I don't smoke anymore, and, there is a time and a place. Not all the time and every place. I'm prescribed Oxycontin, but, rarely take it. I watched it kill my brother ten years ago at 45, and, I never cared for an opiate buzz.

Good for you dude. Life is a trip anyway:)

peace

when i was doing resin + tobacco, i was only addicted to the tobacco and not the weed

i never had any problems with alcohol, as i've reiterated countless times, i can binge or abstain completely

Were you buzzed when you came up with this gem? Thinking of a new way to restate the golden rule? And, a brilliant touch added with 'THE'.

You could take that to the world if men were not so 'dormant':)

peace

no, i am by nature lazy, not cause of weed

That's funny, you don't look lazy. As a matter of fact, when the day comes that I am rewarded for not being desirous, I believe I will see you in heaven's hell:clap:



:)

peace

um, I'm Chinese

We all are:)

Since you're up, can you quickly tell me how to link my lastfm page on my posts? I can't seem to find the instructions:stupid:

thanks

steve

go to USER CP

go to Edit Signature

post link in signature

thanks. I hope I did it right:) I didn't. I think I can correct it, who knows?

peace

That does it. I'm changing my location now.

Damn..I'm disappointed Jack :(

You were always my pick a tha Bunch. :D

Just kidding Bro. :laughing: "But don't!.. "ever".. do it again"!

drugs are bad, m'kay

I haven't been able to afford bud since October. I smoked the last of my personal grow in early November and haven't smoked more than 5 times since. I'm an all day toker that's turned too quickly into a not-at-all toker and I just Rawwrrrr!!!! Wanna smoke some quality bong rips right meow. I never would say it's addictive, but I sure do want some. I'm addicted to cigs, I know the difference. I just know that I want to smoke. And it's a bummer that I can't. Soon... very soon. I am getting back on the bandwagon the moment my first paycheck arrives. Or unemployment check. Whichever I get first.

I said it earlier in the thread, I'll say it again: Yes, it does. I still enjoy music without smoking, but they're so damn complimentary...

Since I started smoking recreationally I never ventured towards music all that much. I did recoqnise it as being better but didn't do it all that often as I thought that my mood and the weed altered my perception of how good it was. Since I started smoking daily, I've found that music is much better, I've found I'm into a few more genres than I was first interested in. I can listen to a song sober and think its awesome, but when you're stoned it really is something else. In my opinion listening to music stoned is indescribable unless you have listened to the perfect song or even music when you're stoned.

Mrd00d and Aurora, I feel the same.

I only bumped this thread to tell captain Ron what I thought of him!

Anyway, it might surprise you to learn that despite everything I've said in this thread, I have never smoked weed in my life.

Glad to get that off my back!
