11. when I was a student in junior college and living very lean...
Edited on Sat Jul-30-11 11:08 AM by wundermaus
I would go to the media center of our school's library and listen to this concert on headphones for weeks and weeks on end while I studied...
It was profoundly formative period of my academic and social life...
Listening to this concert provided a peaceful refuge while studying and dreaming...
while finding balance to life's priorities
and a deeper contemplation of perspectives...
From start to finish, an amazing concert and profound spiritual wakening...
and during that very lean year, the only album I recall purchasing.

12. Yes,,, me too
Those were lean years, spiritually, economically and politically.
That Damn War was still killing my friends and emptying the treasury.

Excellent post... It made me think where I was too.

I'm enjoying the concert again . I'm getting 256k in the sound recording
which is DVD quality.
