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

See above... REM is the band I HAVEN'T seen that I want to see. John, you know where to find me when they hit California again.

Rush -- 7 times
Tom Petty -- 2 times
Scorpions -- 2 times
Sister Hazel -- 2 times

 

Elton John -- 4 times (three times with Billy Joel, once on his solo piano only tour)
Billy Joel -- 3 times (plus two afternoon soundchecks where he did songs he didn't play that night)
Pink Floyd -- 3 times.

 

Stevie Nicks: 10 times (Five times completely solo, twice with Fleetwood Mac, twice in a "Stevie Nicks and Friends" concert, one time with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
U2: Twice
Crosby, Stills & Nash: Once and (CSNY once)
Those are all my multiple acts.

 

I've also seen BB King a couple of times, Joe Satriani 2-3 times, Buddy Guy twice and Robert Cray (either on a festival, opening act or as the headliner) four times.

If there's a band I REALLY want to see it would have to be one involving Plant, Page, Jones and (Jason) Bonham.

 

If that group went on tour AS Led Zeppelin, I'd be first in line. Even on deadline night.

 

I'm not a concert guy; I've been to maybe 10 in my life. Barenaked Ladies three times being the most.

 

Jimmy Buffett, because I'm a son of a son of a sailor. And I got married in Key West, too.

 

wilco 9 times, i think

 

REM -- 3 times
Elvis Costello -- 3 times
INXS -- 3 times
Kool and the Gang -- 2 times

 

R.E.M. - 4 or 5 times, I forget right now

Billy Joel - 4 times (and would up having drinks with the band, minus Joel, at the Nashville Hyatt bar after the show; this was in 1977 or so).

Fleetwood Mac - 3 times

CS&N - twice

 

Rush 9 times
Smashing Pumpkins 2
Ministry 2
White Zombie 2
Lots of others 1
