I go to concerts by independent artists. I buy their CDs, and I have a little collection of older CDs.
I don't go to many concerts anymore but I used to do the same thing. Some of those independent bands I saw 15 - 30 years ago have gotten much larger and more successful but a lot of those CDs I bought at concerts were on smaller labels that still aren't available to stream anywhere.
I also bought a ton of CDs when I lived in Japan in '98 and '99 from a good mix of bands from the '60s and '70s that I was really into as well as a lot of '90s hip-hop. Almost all of those albums have slightly different track listings or a few bonus tracks than the American versions of the same albums and a lot of those extra tracks are not available here, especially with a lot of the hip-hop stuff.
