Having just watched this incredible footage as I post, and being a bit groggy at six in the morning as I lay here in my bed, I can tell you that it is a very moving experience. Almost as amazing as the wonders of nature is how the collective piece of music such as ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ - or Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir,’ or any number of great symphonic pieces across a range of rock, jazz, and classical subgenres - can retain its majesty and its power across - quite literally - thousands of listens over the course of decades. Also, how certain artists from the Progressive Rock era of the 70s - David Gilmour, Peter Gabriel, Robert Plant, to name a few - continue to find ways to remain innovative in their old age, and are still among the most ‘progressive’ musical artists alive today.
