An observation about "Modern" classical music.
I read the first part of this and the last few posts--what are we talking about at this point? 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Rod Argent and Colin Blumstone (sp?) did a "tiny desk show" on NPR a while back and it was good. It's probably on youtube by now if anyone is interested. 
Your favourite recording label?
Rpeluso, Capitol had the Beatles, the Beach Boys and Dean Martin, among others. 
Melissa Etheridge, Dean Martin Albums - Suggestion
There are some nice tracks on that Dino album but I would miss "Memories are made of This"I would look into a Greatest Hits collection as well. 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
What John says is true, but if a particular switch or upgrade is worth it to you then that is all that matters.

Someone swapped me Aerosmith tickets for guitar lessons (I would not have gone otherwise) in the late 80's. It was one of the best live shows I've seen. I was surprised and totally knocked out by their performance.

Any band's most enthusiastic fans can be off-putting and make them seem over-rated. Never more true than with the Dead. I've been to live shows of theirs that seemed fantastic but later the tape of the same show seemed lackluster. You gotta be there.
