I went to a concert featuring King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, with Zappa at the top of the bill.

I never liked how it over stayed it's welcome, and the feeling of having no control when things turned dark.

So that night I decided to get out while the gettings good

I really like the composition of the second one, the weeds growing up, the contrast of colors.

Nice!
