Since I started another mostly unTwisted forum topic moments ago (see http://www.twistedmusic.com/forums/viewthread/5071/), I think it’s only fair that I counterbalance with a forum injection dripping of Twisted love

What was your most memorable Shpongle moment to date?  It doesn’t have to be a Shpongle performance, though I’m going to use that as my rule, for the sake of starting the topic:

I attended the 2011 Shpongle Live Halloween show in NYC, and of the whole treat, the episode that sticks most in my mind was when they did Tea Daze for an encore.  The whole night had already been an adventure, and we entered the show in tardiness because we took the later train to NYC from CT, sadly finding a blocks-long line to get in by the time we got there.  On top of that, I chewed a piece of mystical chocolate ahead of the door that disagreed with me after an hour inside.  (Boo to that, but yay to the Twisted minds inside who were concerned about nothing other than my well-being!  Love me a twistophile in the haven )  But anyway, by the time Tea dropped, I was finally in my mystical mind of wonder, and nothing could have hit the spot better.  I still can’t even believe it’s mine to say that before that moment Tea Daze was nothing more than As Good As Any Other Shpongle Track.  Now, it’s one of my most treasured   Visuals and emotions galore is what did it, I suppose..
And you???

First Shpongletron tour in April 2011 - The Granada in Lawrence, KS

After a five hour road trip with equally-Twisted friends and giant Shpongle fans, we arrived in Lawrence, KS (one of my favorite cities ever).  Spent the preshow and through Random Rab networking, meeting cool new people, checking out merch, etc.  Upon firing up the Shpongletron, Simon began with (if anyone remembers) the underwater scene…with the Shpongle head swimming around.  As the opening tunes came to life, the freaking OWLS appeared, which simply blew my mind.  As I became continuously more Twisted, I literally thought, “Simon, why would you do this to me?!”

Everything went on to become bliss and the concert was PERFECT!

Too many to pick just one…

* First introduction to Shpongle was 2003 in the Australian outback, at the end of a three-day festival.
* Listening to ‘Nothing Lasts’ seven times in a row, on a hefty dose.
* Simon’s set at Turkey Soulclipse, beside a beautiful lake on a beautiful day.

I’m hoping for a last-minute announcement at Eclipse 2012…
