Hi,
I have seen Gong and travelled with them for a bit and my pictures were used on a couple of tours ... Magma was in SF in 1999 in th eInternational Music Festival and they got a 15 minute ovation. Saw Hawkwind in 1974 on their Space Ritual Tour and then a year later with MAN on the Space 1999 tour. Both good, although the loudness at the smaller vnue later was painful. One nice side effect ... it was on that night that I first heard Caravan on the preshow music!
Peter and/or VdGG is one of those things that I would love to see, but I don't have to. I've had enough discussions and mails back and forth that I don't feel I need to see him ... and I have his music inside me all the time, and would prefer that the stuff I like be there, instead of something else.
All in all ... I am through with concerts ... I can enjoy Daevid in my house and he can just turn on my computer and play the midi board and come up with something, or he can just grab the accoustic and do the same thing, although I would rather we just do word play poetry and have some fun just flowing out ... or better yet ... I want him on the dock at midnight, next to the candles and enjoying a beautiful evening, resting and having fun ... and let him troll his heart and mouth out ... and after that we throw him into the lake for a baptism ... hehehe! In other words just to have fun. (we have waterfront property on a volcanic lake).
Being a writer and a creative person, the last thing I want to see is artists tied up ... and I'm finding that most of them in concert are ... plain and simple ... tied up and enslaved to our desires. And I hate to see that ...
Ohh another one ... I wanna invite Roy Harper over for some fun!
