> Michael asks:
>      >what was your first album purchase?

		The Dave Clark Five's GLAD ALL OVER in 1964 or 1965.  
		Purchased with allowance money ($0.25 weekly) saved over
		what seemed an eternity.  Bought it at Grant's in Needham,
		MA for $1.99 (stereo version was $1 more).  I was six years
		old.

>      >what was your first exposure to the who?

		I remember when HAPPY JACK was a single.  Don't recall 
		hearing any WHO prior to that.

>      >what was your first concert?

		Led Zeppelin in July of 1973 (age 15) at Boston Garden.
		Houses of the Holy tour - they were out of touch by this
		time but, as it was my first concert, I was into it.

		I mistakenly gave $13 to an acquaintance in 1973 to buy two
		tix ($6.50 each) for the 12/73 WHO show at Boston Garden.
		I think he bought pot instead.  I didn't get to see them on
		that tour but, eventually, got my cash back.  

		The first time I did see them was 12/75 at Providence Civic
		Center.  Other times were 3/76 Boston Garden (Moon passes
		out after 2nd song - or during!), 4/76 Boston Garden (full
		Moon), 6/79 Edinburgh Odeon, 9/79 Madison Square Garden,
		12/79 Pontiac Silverdome, 12/79 New Haven Coliseum,
		12/79 Boston Garden, 12/82 Shea Stadium, 12/89 Foxboro (or
		maybe then called Sullivan) Stadium.  If anyone has tapes of
		these shows I'd be interested!!  (although I have nothing to
		trade).
