Absolutely! I didn't get to see Jimi live or even Jethro Tull. Wishbone Ash was great live. Uriah Heep made one great album.

 

The greatest guitar players I have seen are: Santana and Alvin Lee.

 

I saw Jimmy Rogers before he passed on and his lead guitar player was kick ass! Don't know his name. Jimmy was so old he had to sit in a chair and be helped off the stage.

I have seen the Moody Blues 5 times and Santana twice. I missed seeing the Moody Blues when Pinder was with them. Oh well! Also I saw Jean Luc Ponty 5 times. He was amazing!!!

If you get a chance to see Lyle Lovitt, he is an excellent performer.

My favorite enlightened music for serene listening is "Godspeed: You Black Emporer!"

 

They provided the soundtrack to the movie "28 Days Later". A group of young Canadian indies that make 20 minute post-modern contemporary classical tracks using eclectic audio sampling of spoken word, ect., to intensify the music.

 

My favorite enlightened live music is currently Gogol Bordello. Only concert that demands everyone dance. You really don't have a choice!

Not sure if the music is enlightened but the video is about enlightenment I think. One of the most powerful music videos I have ever seen

Flamenco. Music that was created by Muslim Andalusians who stayed in Spain and mixed with the Romani newcomers when the Spanish reclaimed their land back in the XV century when the The Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, got married in 1649, event that signaled the launching of the final assault on the Emirate of Granada (Gharnatah). The King and Queen convinced the Pope to declare their war a crusade. The Christians crushed one center of resistance after another and finally, in January 1492, after a long siege, the Moorish sultan, Muhammad XII, surrendered the fortress palace, the renowned Alhambra, itself.

 

Let me share some of the modern artists that helped to define this soul-driven and powerful music:

 

La Familia Montoya

 

 

La Familia Vargas

 

 

Lole (from la Familia Montoya) y Manuel

In essence Flamenco is a music with deep roots in the Sufi (via the Andalusian Muslims) and Hindu (via the Romani people who are descendants of low caste groups who made a living by singing and music and based in the modern Indian State of Rajasthan, eventually migrated to Central Asia and Europe) traditions.

There was a time when for me enlightened music would have meant Vivaldi or Mozart.

 

Now it would have to be the unaccompanied simplicity of the shakuhachi.

When I listen to this I just feel close to the Divine, the source of the Spirit:

 

 

Baroque period, truly magnificent.

 

Bononcini: Aria Affettuoso-Rittornello from cantata Mentre in Placido Sonno performed by male soprano Radu Marian.

 

Handel, his compositions were superb. One example:

Aria Lascia ch'io Pianga, from opera Rinaldo.
