I prefer his Ziggy stuff to his Bowie stuff if in honest.
Sometimes I wish I was older so I could have followed the careers of some of the greats, You lot who grew up with Floyd don't know how lucky you are (musically I mean)
Music will always be there regardless of generation. I can listen to something way before my time and pretend it was made just for me, in this moment.

lucky for me I just discovered all this the last couple of years. I was stuck on, and now burned out on, "classic rock".
concerts.... I feel bad for young people now. paid $25 scalped to see RUSH front row. $50 to see The Who, 4th row at Masonic Auditorium. it's just stupid now with what it cost. $200+ for no-mans land tix the see the Stones. like they need the $$.

Important safety tip - NEVER sit in the front rows.

Being in concert sound for years, the best seat in the house is by the FOH (Front of House) engineer the guy(s) mixing music usually out in the middle of the audience. I was on tour and happened to come through my hometown and got passes for my brother & his fiance. They asked why they sat with by our FOH engineer and not in front rows, his reply
" You'ld surrender your hearing for 3 days to me for sitting there".

Now although I am young I have to agree with you, I prefer things on vinyl, it might not be as clear but it has a certain charm.
I used to collect and still have vinyl. The great thing about punk in the 90’s and even going into the 2000’s, was that many bands continued to release vinyl. I had to buy lots of 7” just to hear songs they only released via vinyl. The sound is so great on them. I have some rare stuff that is probably worth $$$. All of the colored and clear 7” were such a treat to open.

Agree completely, but I will never know what its like to grow up with a band with so much talent and follow their career, it must be something special.

I guess I was stupid when I went to concerts. I was always moshing, throwing myself on stage to get thrown off stage.

The entire 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' album... preferably on a good vintage setup. I know people like the new digital stuff, but to me, it's just got no soul. I've got an old Sansui G8700DB, with a pair of Sansui SP2500's on A, and a pair of 1st gen Bose 901's on B. Warm, full... analog.

My fish hate it when I get to playing music :p

Buford Jones (of Showco) mixed that tour (and many others) and I'll pass your feedback to him.

Its not all its cracked up to be, especially today, I used to listen to my father and Grandfather going on about the old days and sometimes I wish I was born in the 60's and grew up in the 70's and 80's, music was so special and legends were really legends.

I just finally watched this last night. Somehow I missed it when it came out in 2013. Lots of nostalgia from the 70's and 80's and some great new music in this documentary of Sound City by Dave Grohl. Listening to the album now.

Music isn't dead just evolving like others have said. You either have to evolve you tastes along with it or get left behind, although there is A LOT of crap music out there ie mumble rap! Just the other day I think I gave my 16 year old daughter a heart attack when she got in my truck and I was listening to Post Malone's Beer Bongs and Bentlys album lol

I love music from the 70’s 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s. Smashing pumpkins, The Cure, Tool, At The Drive In, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Thrice, to name a few. But I struggle to find anything in the past 10-15 years that grabs me. I have an Apple Music account and I can’t find anything to listen to. Maybe I’m getting old (probably). Did music go downhill or am I just aging? ;Meh
Check out TOOL’s new album. Pretty good. For most part I don’t like new music either and I’m 23, so don’t feel old ha

Someone mentioned Tool’s new album earlier on this thread. I actually downloaded it and listened to almost all of it. It’s classic Tool and was really good. As with most of their stuff, you need to listen to it a few times just to get the gist of it.
