Ha, David, Attending (participating in) a musical event does not require any lingusitic or intellectual conceptualization of the experience - so you get a good dose of the dynamic. (Of course there are plenty of patterns involved in the music and the concert ritual itself, but only if you analyse them - you can feel the quality without doing that.)
The source of many previous discussions on MD. You used the extreme sports "buzz" example and others as things beyond our discourse - I was just reinforcing your point. (The only reason I picked on Hawkwind and VdGG with a ;-) was knowing Horse is a fan and had experienced the latter only the day before - but you could substitute whatever artistic / cultural participation event that turns you on.)
