A couple of questions

Since I am in this sort of a mood.

What was the first record you bought?
What was the first concert you went to?

My answers in comments

first record bought: An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer
first concert I paid for tickets: Statler Brothers, Braden Auditorium at ISU
first concert I worked: Grateful Dead, Horton Fieldhouse at ISU

I spent 32 years working concessions at ISU, so I got to see a ton of concerts for free over the years

other shows I worked:
Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker[twice] Marilyn Manson, Bob Dylan/Bryan Setzer, Outlaws/38 Special, Weird Al Yankovic, Village People, Michael W Smith/Jars of Clay/3 Crosses, Jefferson Airplane, ELO, Loretta Lynn, Kingston Trio, Don Mclean[twice] Country Joe Mcdonald, Phish, John Mellencamp, John Conley. I know I am forgetting a few

I think the best shows I remember were Weird Al and Charlie Daniels,

Best show I saw at Braden was John Prine & Steve Goodman. This was about a month before Steve died.
