I have two years on you... Saw my first show in 1978 (at age 18), my last at Highgate in, I think it was 1995ish?
I kind of lost the spark after Brent died (and I think they did too...) But it remains the seminal music in my life.

We really only go to smaller shows now, singer/songwriter types, and it's usually a great
music deal for the price.  I haven't been to an arena show in years! 

Chris Smither in a couple weeks, Kris Delmhorst the week after that.

Oops, threadjack...  Sorry!

Those days were some of the most important of my life,

My sincere apologies.

I allways thought the mail-order was purposfully time-consuming for the buyer in order to discourage scalpers.
