Just wondered when members here hopped aboard the Roxy or Ferry train and how often they've been lucky enough to catch the live shows.
Although I caught the bug in '73, I was only 12 years old and LP purchases were beyond my pocket money for some years yet. The family knew what to buy me as birthday presents, though...
Living out in the sticks and without a car, it also meant that live shows remained but a dream until I moved to London in my late teens (I like to think I've made up for that in recent years, though!).
So, humour me and tell us all how your answers compare with these...
First Roxy single owned - Pyjamarama
First Roxy album owned - Country Life
First Roxy gig - Wembley Arena, London (1980)
Latest Roxy gig - Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, NYC (2019)
First BF single owned - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

First BF gig - London Palladium (1988)
Latest BF gig - Royal Albert Hall, London (2020)As a footnote, I caught the travel bug about a decade ago:
