I used to sit together with a bunch of my music lover friends in my college days. I can relate. It must have been very soul satisfying experience. 

I still do it occassionally when I get a chance at traditional public gatherings. You know Indian barata (wedding parties) are a great place for this. 

Nah. The shows were fun, recording was fun but mostly it was just getting together a couple times a week and jamming for a couple hours that was the best.

That's great. Any particular event or day you wish you can imitate back.
