One of the big ones for me was when I was in England mixing an album for King Crimson. It was a live album for their collectors series. The King Crimson album "Discipline" is one of my favorite albums of all time. In the 90s I was mixing this live album of the band recorded in 1981 and I was wrestling to get everything sounding good and all the instruments working together etc, and I remember pushing back my chair and listening to the mix and realizing that I was mixing the tracks from one of my favorite records of all time, recorded by the band that recorded that album the same year they recorded Discipline. I was mixing a 1981 recording of King Crimson playing Thela Hun Ginjeet!!!! I felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

Awesome!
I don't actually know who King Crimson is but it sounds like a great experience. Now off to Google to find out who it/they is/are .
