i know that feeling when the tape/cd is supposed to do what i expect from the last zillion times i heard it.

with the grateful dead we used to sit around and guess from the *sound* "what year', and was it 'spring summer or fall tour?' and even though there is so much improvisation i have learned to expect certain types of exploration in the music.

i love how you describe the physical sensation when the music is *that* good, no matter who it is. i wonder if there is a cumulative long term impact of something so magical and glorious? the trumpet in the messiah "the trumpet shall sound". yikes, that makes me soar. :)

I used to do something similar with the Beatles, though usually it was a mater of me trying to figure out who was singing which part...

Cumulative? Perhaps--I don't *think* I used to notice all these shivery sensations when I was younger...

teehee! well, maybe it's that we develope a finely tuned appreciation as we go along (no pun intended).

we used to listen to tell the beates voices apart too. and-keeping in mind i'm in my 40's.....i remember listening to rubber soul and we were just amazed to be able to hear them breathing.....;)
