Been a few days since my last post, but here's what's new :
I WENT AND SAW FUCKING SHPONGLE LAST 29TH OF OCTOBER!!!
It was AWESOME. The whole band was there, Simon, Raja Ram, The hang drum player, cellist, drummer, vocalists, etc etc. They had tons of different dancers in costumes doing all sorts of crazy shit. It was incredibly beautiful. The energy of the crowd was pure psychedelia, I've never experienced anything like it. I was on 2 tabs of some strong white on white, as was my gf and my best friend. One could quite literally feel the energy of the music, it was indescribable. It was as if the music was a translation of the universe itself vibrating in communication with us, words will never do justice what I experienced at that show. Raja Ram was awesome, he interacted with the crowd and moved to the music in ways that were completely unlike anything I've ever seen before. The hang drum player playing his intro to Nothing is Something Worth Doing was mind altering extreme psychedelia...It was just incredible. I remember looking at him playing the hang drum and he would fade in and out of the tune nothing is something worth doing and another tune. It was the strangest thing, he looked like a child who discovered a toy and was tinkering with it for the first time, and was trying to tune the instrument to the beat of the universe. I was tripping pretty solid at this point, obviously. There's tons of videos on youtube of the show, I may post a few when I have time to sort through them and find some good ones.
Fucking awesome dude! Sounds like a truly deep experience. Your description brings that crazy psychedelic chill down my spine, really beautiful. Glad to hear that you had a killer time!
