Post SteemFestic Blues

Many thanks to @roelandp and all involved parties for this great adventure.

It was the fourth time I had the pleasure to attend the event.

We have without doubt a great technology that powers up our blockchain, skilled developers, promising projects, and upcoming new fancy features, and all of this is true and all important...

However, we also have something that we can see in particular during the SteemFest events, namely many awesome, passionate people who choose Steem as their platform.

”All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.” - Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien

Please ignore videos, it’s audio that matters, maybe the quality is not perfect , but YouTube is the easiest way to share those songs with you.

  • Do you know any of them?
  • Have you listened to all of them?
  • Can you, these days, not only hear the music, but also listen to it?

This post has been written for(*) Steemfest 4 community, which was created during SteemFest4 Day 2, after @roadscape announced beta version of Communities. (*) except I messed up with accounts and posted to unmoderated #steemfest tag #FOMO? You should.


EDIT: I appreciate your votes, I really do, especially that I don't post frequently, but lets be fair, that's not a great post at all. Not that I want to get downvotes instead, but if I may ask, enjoy the music, leave the comment and if you still have spare vote power, please take your time and try find great content among other SteemFest participants or Steemians in general. EDIT: Two issues for condenser were identified while writing this post, one good old [External links should opened in new tab/window](https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/3612) a.k.a. new tab: to be or not to be. If you want to listen to the playlist, you will move to the YouTube site leaving Steemit site. [eSteem.app](https://esteem.app/steemfest/@gtg/post-steemfestic-blues) doesn't suffer from that issue. Interestingly [SteemPeak.com](https://steempeak.com/steemfest/@gtg/post-steemfestic-blues) is even smarter here. Not only it opens link in a new tab, but also warns you before leaving site, which serves additional protection against phishing attacks. Same with [busy.org](https://busy.org/@gtg/post-steemfestic-blues) Second issue is more tricky, [YouTube video fail to embed properly when mixed with markdown](https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/3611) and was revealed only because two things happened at once: video ID has `_` in name, and I also used `_` in following text to write title of a song in italics using markdown.

    !Beer please!

  • @yahialababidi(71)· 2503d

    One day, @gtg, I'd love to attend Steemfest (maybe, if it's held in the US, in Florida or DC where I divide my time).

    Do you think @roelandp might be interested in organizing a poetry reading or literary discussion as part of the festival?

    By way of introduction to my work, here is a talk I was invited to deliver at Oxford University, nearly 3 weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy1t-P1i280&t=409s

    Cheers, Yahia

  • @kinakomochi(73)· 2505d

    All the songs are good. There were three songs I didn't know. Thank you for the souvenir. I love it so I went back to Japan and ate it with my family. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

  • @kaerpediem(73)· 2505d

    I know some of the songs I know all of the artists I also know you are a rock fan by the playlist.... And oh what a sad playlist it is too It was good meeting you and hope to see you again next year :)

  • @liliana.duarte(70)· 2505d

    Entering in the blues today. It's Monday and I unpacked my summer clothes while outside winter is showing up... I especially enjoy how the playlist starts with "Nothing else matters" and now with "R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts". I know these two well

  • @karinxxl(76)· 2505d

    fits in your line!! (damn I am jetlagged AF)

  • @marki99(62)· 2506d

    Casually debugging steemit. lol

  • @mistakili(77)· 2506d

    Hi...I don't know any of those songs, I'm a 90's kid...but I appreciate the sentiment. Thanks for all your steemit work...hope to meet you at the next steemfest

  • @dylanhobalart(74)· 2506d

    Really wish I would have spent more time to get to know you at steemfest! Would have liked to have talked to you about my some of my family history and politics. Really sad that I missed last year's fest in Poland. Look forward to talking to you more, next year for sure!

  • @twinner(68)· 2506d

    Downvoted because of disagreements on Rewards. 1 picture and a few sentences, plus a few video links. Don't take it personally, you are one of my favourite witnesses, and it stays that way ;-)

  • @qsounds(58)· 2506d

    Thanks for sharing all the nice music. I do agree with your comment at the bottom of your post, the one you edited into your article. I'll for sure not downvote you - my powers are not that great anyway - But I'm wondering why curator groups are upvoting this article with quite some power, whilst not upvoting higher quality posts. Sure, you may be doing great things for Steemit - I believe you are one of our witnesses from day one - and that may also be rewarded. Anyways, thanks for your additional comment; That shows you are a sincere person.

  • @yidneth(74)· 2506d

    I remember the steemfest blues and the steemfest "flu" after last year event, this year it was just to far reach for me both physically and economically though I kind of regretted as the thai team had promised some special coffee sackets hahah XD with yummy flavours. i confess I don't know all the songs, and some of the songs I know only in their original versions.

  • @steempencil(25)· 2506d

    very beautiful picture...

    Hey @gtg, here is a little bit of BEER from @detlev for you. Enjoy it!

  • @detlev(82)· 2506d

    Hey @gtg, next time we meet we have to speak a bit more about music as I like a lot of this stuff very much.

    Greetz from Aachen and hope to see you soon again. Sure, there comes a !BEER from me as well.

  • @azli13(20)· 2507d

    great music

  • @livinguktaiwan(81)· 2507d

    I will be home tomorrow, I hope they won't make me sadder as I sort out all my SF images. Thanks for making the playlist.

  • @thevil(60)· 2507d

    I have to admit Wizard, that I really like your taste in music.

  • @stoodkev(72)· 2507d

    Great songs, even though some of them would make the post Steemfestic blues worse, and I want to avoid that =D

  • @slobberchops(82)· 2507d

    As you told me on the first night, 'songs written from before I was born'.., this list looks rather like that unless your looking good for someone in their forties!

    I do remember screeching out November Rain in my car years ago.., trying to sound like Axel.

    I have to mostly agree with your sentiment, though you should consider Porcupine Tree.. this one from 2006.

  • @mobbs(75)· 2507d

    I'm surprised Radiohead didn't get in that list of misery, they're famous for it!

    This is all more reminiscent for me than sad; it's essentially what I grew up on in a nutshell

  • @felix.herrmann(71)· 2507d

    Next Steemfest in Minas Tirith? ;)

    Nice

  • @littlenewthings(73)· 2507d

    At this point of time thank goodness because I have to rush back into Christmas production mood this blue feeling can be shoved aside during weekends....

    But I still caught myself scrolling back at the simple booth link and looked at all the animated fun we had when I couldn't sleep.

  • @eturnerx(69)· 2507d

    The post SteemFest blues are real! I like that playlist - I know almost all of the songs on it. Hard to pick a favourite.

  • @katrina-ariel(69)· 2507d

    Those are some great songs, and I've listened to most of them many times! I remember the SteemFest blues after last year's event—it took me a month to recover. ;) I hope you're enjoying the comforts of home with your lovely sparkling lady. I also hope to make it to SF next year, if I can. Would be great to see you again. I'll bring my dragon, of course.

  • @abh12345(80)· 2507d

    What an eclectic selection of masterpieces :) I chose Queen and will probably visit 4/5 more.

    Yes, FIMO, but number 5 is looking good.

  • @dalz(82)· 2507d

    Nice playlist! I know all of them :) System of a down - Lonely day.... my favorite.
