Memory doesn't work by osmosis. Our memory is connected to our internal clock. Each event in our lives is time stamped with the time day coordinates. That's how we can remember what we did on a given day last week, or what we had for dinner last night. Or how we know when it's time to wake up.For music one needs to be able to analyze and identify the sound characteristics of the music so they can be preserved in memory. The subtle characteristics too. Air, tone, dynamic range, speed, pace, realism, how much the music grabs you. If you can't remember something it's very likely because it was never put in memory. Some things just aren't retrievable from memory. Memory is a skill, memory can be improved, like tennis or reading speed and comprehension. Memory is also an ability. Practice makes perfect.
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing
To lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing
To have all these things in our memories hoard
And to use them
To help us
To find...

To your last point, I just played that Moody Blues album sometime last month. I love the Moody Blues' music, but unfortunately, never saw them live. An old friend of mine used to play with the Festival Orchestra. She still sends me a Christmas card or present every year.
Moving on: Yes and no.
One aspect of "memory" is longterm memory - things which we've learned. I learned the alphabet in grade school, and still remember it.
Another is shortterm memory - things whick we just recently saw, heard, felt or smelled. Much music is in that category. We can remember the performance of the notes, but can we remember the exact tone quality of the instrument? - no. If you say "yes", you're fooling yourself.
The DETAILS of a sound fade away very quickly in our memories. As I wrote previously, within about seven to fifteen seconds, depending on your skills.
BTW, I've still not found what I'm looking for.

If only you could hear what I've heard with my ears.We rely on our short term and long term memory, as both humans and as audiophiles. If you don't have a good memory your progress will suffer. Those who cannot learn from their mistakes are bound to repeat history.
