(24,438 posts)I was very lucky to keep every record album I ever bought since 1961. I have about 300 record albums, all in excellent condition. I have downsized my stereo rig over the years, but at 70 years old I have enough hard copy music to entertain me for the rest of my life, most of it from the 60s and 70s.
As for the price of tickets for concerts, some of the best musicians you will ever hear are playing in bars and night clubs, often with no cover charge. And better yet, now you don't have to prowl all the bars to see who the good ones are. Just look them up on YouTube for a preview. This is especially true if you live in a metropolitan area. I spent the 80s in the blues clubs in Silicon Valley and saw some incredible musicians you probably never heard of, often sitting with in 20 feet of the band. All for the price of a few beers.
