List your first album that you ever bought, then the fist concert you ever attended, then your favorite album of all time.

First Album: Hermans Hermits (1965). I bought it at the Pay Less on the corner of Grant and El Camino in Mt View, for $2.22.

First Concert: Day On The Green, British Invasion, August 3 1975 - Robin Trower, Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, Dave Mason. I cannot find a poster for it.

Favorite Album: The Cure, Mixed Up. A friend of mine says the first version of a song that you hear is always your favorite. I had never heard of The Cure before 1993 when I was working out in a gym in Kailua-Kona and it was on the PA. I checked the CD player for the title, and it's been my favorite even since.

First Album was 4 Way Street

First concert was Elton John when Goodbye Yellow Brick Road came out.

"Since the recording of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton's concerts have consistently featured a number of its songs. Starting with Elton's infamous concert at the Hollywood Bowl on September 7, 1973 (a month before the album was available in stores)...."

Too hard to choose a favorite album of all time, but those two would be at the top of the list

I have Yellow Brick Road on CD, vinyl, and digital. I did a test where I started all 3 recording types and then just switched the receiver input to compare them back-to-back. Predictably, vinyl was best - and that album is beat-to-shit after 40 years or so (granted, it only got played for maybe 6 years). FuneralForAFriend and LoveLiesBleeding is a motocross anthem for me - I would always play it on my 8-track while driving to the races.

Was the concert that you attended at the Hollywood Bowl?
