I felt like I transcended and really got the music, especially psychedelic stuff.


I had a similar opinion when I was younger as well. Now as I have grown older I think that it actually takes away from the experience, especially alcohol. Drugs impaire my cognitive function (obviously) which in turn impaires my ability to fully appreciate the music.

Most importantly to me, it makes me forget portions of live shows that I attend. Some of these bands/musicians I may not get the opportunity to see again. I want to remember the subtle nuances that some live performers bring to their acts, the atmosphere, pretty much the whole show.

I disagree. It enhances the experience for me from a fun standpoint. Then after the show I can get a live recording and experience the audio in the comfort of my home theater.

I agree with this. Cannabis doesn't interefer that bad and well I consume it weekly, so it will have that affect if I am at the show or not.

I don't enjoy shows drunk at all, mainly cause I miss portions to pee.

In addition, substances can make the lamest shite seem profound.
