my thoughts out in the open. this show wiped my brain, transformed me,
lifed me to another state of conciousness, etc cue house/trance cliches
etc..

i had a thought of this about halfway through the show - i've never
been a big fan of prog rock but i enjoyed the extensive jamming...

this was the big one. the bomb. i took two hits off a friend's bowl
three songs into the set, and this is the track that sent my mind
ballistic. there are practically no words to describe it. i went home
and listened to it on my copy of _terrarum_ and it's a shame the drums
don't last that long on it. I WANT A BOOTLEG.

i thought it was more hard than soft, and i *loved* how fast and hard
everything was. amazing, again.

mm-hmm. just ask me about the lights, go ahead. at one point, the
overload of herb, music and lights was so overpowering that i couldn't
open my eyes...
this show was, again, simply amazing, and i am a fan again.
