I'm not going to say to much about this but the faithful readers will get this "Lost In The Volume", a premonition of things to come. Last weekend I had the great privilege of seeing one of the bands that started it all for me. I remember listening to this band when I was around 10 years old and loosing my mind, not knowing at the time I would actually get to meet these heroes of mine. This band and their music has impacted me personally almost more than any other band besides KISS. I was there a mere 5 feet away from one of the biggest bands in the history of the world and yet it felt as if they were playing for me. I was surrounded by 20,000 people and yet I felt like I was all alone. I was moved spiritually by the music and at the time I felt as if that was the closest to heaven I had come. Maybe that sounds silly but I don't care. This entire musical adventure we are all on revolves around moments of pure and utter joy, nothing else. For that brief moment nothing else matters. Your troubles and worries are gone, there's no drama, there's no tension, and there is no suffering. "Lost" doesn't even begin to describe it. I was welling up with tears by the sheer volume and the songs that the band were playing.

On Sunday, Feb 14th I saw AC/DC live and I'm not sure I have ever seen a band perform better. It was a concert that I will never forget. It was one of those Rock N Roll moments that hangs with you and that you strive to attain again. The songs themselves made me proud to have followed this path, they brought back great memories of my younger years, and most of all they were played to perfection. Very rarely do you get to go see a show and know every word to every song and I think with a band like AC/DC, it didn't really matter what they played. It doesn't matter that I was hoping they'd play this song or that song, even though I've heard "Highway To Hell" a million times I've never heard it played like that. The air was so heavy with energy that it made me shudder. The band and the crowd seemed to mold together and for a brief two hour moment we were locked in a celebration of life and of Rock N Roll. I can begin to express my gratitude and my appreciation. There aren't enough words. Maybe someday when this all come back around.........................
Always Loud
Forever Proud
