Another concert thread: Which band/singer/act have you seen the most times?

Rolling Stones: 27 (my bank account weeps but I'd do 'em all again and more in a heartbeat).
George Thorogood: 11
Buddy Guy: 8
Bruce: 6
U2: 5

 

I have a cousin who has seen The Grateful Dead, Phish and String Cheese Incident at least 200 times apiece...

 

Better than Ezra - Seven, maybe eight times
Wilco/Jeff Tweedy - Five times (about to be six)
Son Volt/Jay Farrar - five times
Dave Matthews Band - Four times

Springsteen - Once (in a half-empty arena)

 

That's a lot of weed

 

they all suck?

--> <--

me: Genesis 17 times back in the day, Wilco 12 times the last decade or so

 

Must have been "Devils & Dust" tour

 

I think this list covers it all... (and I keep having to update this sucker)

Springsteen 88 (this includes half a dozen times in bars where he's just shown up and played with Southside Johnny or Joe Grushecky)

Slaid Cleaves about 24 (this includes counting two shows in one night - a 7:30 and 10:30 show as separate)

Southside Johnny about 18-20

Rod Picott 12-14

Dan Bern 6

Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers 5

John Eddie 5-6

Joe D'Urso & Stone Caravan 4-5

Terri Hendrix 4

Joe Ely 3

Billy Joel 2

John Fogerty 2

Chuck Berry 1
Bob Dylan 1
Elton John 1
Jackson Browne 1
Waco Brothers 1
Tift Merritt 1
Lucinda Williams 1
Bonnie Raitt 1 (opening for Fogerty in 1986 I think, his Eye of the Zombie tour when he was under his "No Creedence" vow)
Don Henley 1 (End of the Innocence tour)
Suzzana Hoffs 1 (opened for Don Henley)
Ray Wylie Hubbard 1
Glen Burtnick 1
REO Speedwagon 1
Survivor 1

 

Pearl Jam -- seven

Willie Nelson -- four

Stones -- three

GNR -- three

Metallica -- three

 

Fishbone - about 17 times

Elvis Costello - 10 times

Neil Finn/Crowded House - 7 times

 

Buffett - 27
The Good Ole' Grateful Dead - 22
DMB - 20

 

Rush -- 7 times (saw them just the other night)

 

Don't remember, but as I recall, it was the only show on that tour that didn't sell out. And half-full is a bit of a reach. I think about 7,500 paid to get in and the arena sat 19,000.
