7-12-86??
Last concert was in August mate, so how you're gonna find one from December is beyond me.
God how I hate it that the blinkin' Americans have to make up their own date system just to be different from the English!
Day, Month, Year - what's wrong with that?
Makes perfect sense to the rest of the world...

Americans use it. Some British, also. That's about it. The 'official' way is yyyy/dd/mm, but the most common worldwide is still dd/mm/yyyy.
Month/day/year makes most sense to me because that is actually how we say the date here. We say "April 26th, 2010", not "the 26th of April, 2010." It's simply cultural differences... no need to get all rattled up.
For archiving purposes I always use year/month/ day. That works best when archiving a lot of flac concerts chronological on a hard disc.
For other situations I use day/month/year since I'm from Europe.

I love your Fux quote!

So do the English go around saying "It's 27 April today"? I find it makes much more sense to say "It's April 27th today", so it makes much more sense to write that. It's the English that are backwards on this issue. But they're the ones always repeating themselves with things like "I say, I say it's 27 April today." No wonder everyone leaves and starts their own colony.

Only on 27th April. I suspect tomorrow, no one will be saying it, except mentalists.
In the United States, dates are traditionally written
in the "month day year" order
[in the United Kingdom] Dates are written traditionally in "day month year" order, using a slash
as the separator For a more complete list, check the Wikipedias: link

It matters a lot - we must all communicate on the same wavelength. Otherwise the world will be turned up side down.
Considering England invented the english language that was taken to America I've always found it odd why the US does the date backwards when the ddmmyy format had been in use for many many years prior.
Then again why did our cousins across the pond feel it necessary to rewrite the Collins dictionary and mispell alot of it? Is it true Webster was iliterate?
