 When did you see Blessid for the first time? Was it at your college? A show sponsored by your favorite radio station? Was it on VH1? How old were you? I remember my first rock concert. It was in a very high row at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati Ohio. I didn't know much about the band at the time but it was my friend's favorite band. Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Started off with "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends". The lights went down minutes before the band came out. Every-one's lighters were lit and held high and the smell of weed filled the whole place. That was a concert. It was the most magical experience one could encounter at the time. I haven't experienced anything like it in years. I spent most of a musical career trying to give an audience that same experience but times had changed and the media destroyed any chance of doing that today. Well maybe 2 or 3 acts today could come close but you that experienced that moment in rock history know that it's just not going to happen. But still we get letters from fans still today telling the story of the first time they saw us in concert and how exciting it was for them and they remember everything about it 15 years later and it takes me back to that moment in time at my first concert and the feeling comes right back as if it were yesterday. I guess maybe it is possible. Write us and share your story. We will post them. Thanks for reading and listening to Blessid Union Of Souls.
