Writer and content designer. Fancier of vinyl LP records. Tall. Bit of a dandy. Also: tea.
I just found out about this from a friend today as we stood in a record store. Very sad news. He poured his soul into that place. Lucky to have known him.

My parents saw them on that tour (I was too young), and then we saw them together in 1994 (then a senior in high school).

Would've loved to see them circa '75 or '77. I've heard lots of boots from that '77 Animals tour that are pure magic!

Of course the Pompeii show would've been good, too. 😀

I have a special place in my heart for The Division Bell — bought the album and a Timex wristwatch at Walmart with my summer job money. Later that summer, I got to see them in concert on that tour. Cheers to you, as well!

I’ve been listening to Meddle and Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon consistently for 30 years but somehow left this out of rotation.

It really suits my grown-up ears now. It’s weird and urgent and I’ll probably play it again this weekend.

Thanks to Roadrunner Records in Minneapolis for having this mint OG promo copy.

Do we use hashtags here for that? I still feel like a newbie.

Side A has some lighter, shorter pieces, saving the HEAVY improv for side B.

It’s one of the magical things about this music for me, especially the Carnatic style from South India—that edge-of-the-seat, endless stream of pure sound creativity.

SO GOOD

I have a file on my computer desktop labeled “dot tee ex tee”

I save my TextEdit files there

And it sounds great, too!

This place is like my second home, anymore.

I like to stay until I’m the last one to leave the hall, when only an usher or two collecting discarded programs remain.

I take out a little notebook to carefully cursive some thoughts while the music is still in the air (or my mind, at least.)

Love moments like that!

I tried “Chocolatey Cookie Cats” but is still feels off

I’m a little leery that they have to tell us that the cookies are intended for people

The room reverberations filled the spaces between the notes, making the hall itself an accompanist.

I’m gonna be thinking about this one for a while.
