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

springsteen -- 40-plus. i'm a bruce geek, but not to the level of an exact count.

jackson browne -- about 25, including a tiny fundfaiser for congressman john hall last june. got to take pics with him and talk for a bit, a big thrill.

allman brothers -- eight times

linda ronstadt -- seven times

billy joel -- six times

crosby, stills and nash -- five times

james taylor -- four times

 

Stones: 25+
Ramones (RIP Joey): 6
Springsteen: 5 (I really wish that number were higher)
Drive By Truckers: 6

 

My list of total acts seen isn't nearly as impressive as I'd like it to be:

Stevie Nicks: Eight times
Fleetwood Mac: Twice
U2: Twice
Quiet Riot: Twice
Crosby, Stills and Nash: Once
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: Once
Kool and the Gang: Once (Opening for Donna Summer)
Donna Summer: Once
Joe Cocker: Once
Tina Turner: Once
Sheryl Crow: Twice (in Stevie Nicks and Friends concerts)
Don Henley: Twice (in Stevie Nicks and Friends concerts)
Lindsey Buckingham: Twice (in Stevie Nicks and Friends concerts)
Chris Isaak: Twice (Once in a Stevie Nicks and Friends concert)
Lisa Marie Presley: Once
Sting: Once
Tom Christensen: Once (opening for Jefferson Starship)
Jefferson Starship: Once
Heart: Once
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Once

 

I once saw Orleans, as an opening act, four times in one summer.
I may yet recover.

 

Allman Brothers. Twelve times, I think.

 

I'm going to throw this in there because the movie has terrific music:

Rocky Horror Picture Show: 35-40 times.

 

Queen- nine or ten times (those years get hazy)

Multiple times seeing Cheap Trick, Nugent, Billy Squier (always as opening act), Journey, Styx, Kansas, Ian Hunter, Ozzy, Dio.

A child of AOR, I be.

 

Was it the summer of Still the One or was it another summer?
