You described at scene I've visited a few times myself. If you love rock and roll, and you grew up in the 70's, it's very difficult not to have at least a few of those experiences under your belt. ...especially when listening to Yes or Floyd. I don't even want to attempt to paint a verbal visual of the sh/t that was going through my brain while listening to Floyd's Animals or Miles Davis' Bitch's Brew while under the influence of a certain fungi. ...I'd be unable to do so, frankly.

Funny you should bring up Bitch's Brew. I bought that album in the 70s and after listening to it a half dozen times came to the conclusion it was nothing more than unorganized, random, meandering scales with no musical underpinnings at all. Fast forward 20 years and a guitarist friend of mine that's heavy into jazz was rambling on what a great album that was. So, I listened to it again and arrived at the same conclusion. I've never been able to make much sense out of that music.
