Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music

One thing I’ve had happen live that I’ve never had happen with a sound system is the music taking over and transforming the space - at least in my mind. I went to see Isaac Stern at our local Hult Center for the Performing Arts. It was just him and a pianist playing duet. He and the pianist came on stage, talked a bit about the works they were going to play, did a little tuning, and then started in to it. With the first few notes, I could almost see something settling down in the concert hall, a magical atmosphere. It really shocked me! The concert hall was transformed in a matter of seconds, felt like I was in a different place and time.

Something similar happened when I was in middle school. A quartet from a University stopped by our school and performed for us in orchestra class. The effect was almost too much for me. I was overwhelmed with emotion, literally trembling by the time it was over. I was trying to hold it together, embarrassed that tears might start flowing in front of my classmates. I recall they played something by Dvorak.

Yes, every time I listen to my system. But weed helps, Lol.

Of course, I don't use my magic hookah every time I listen, but it tends to accentuate the effect for certain.

I often refer to it as "falling into the music".  The phrase just seems to work for me.  But either way, yes, definitely transports the mind and spirit to a level that is euphoric.  

Any time I close my eyes and I start tapping my  toe or I start seeing the people in the orchestra playing their instruments.

That’s what it’s all about!

I would say yes. Certain albums really have that effect on me.
