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

[Mizzougrad96]

I've seen Cinderella 14 times and Skid Row eight times, but almost all were as opening acts.

Pearl Jam - 15
Cinderella - 14 (all as opening acts)
Metallica - 12 (None in the last decade)
Bon Jovi - 12 (None since 1991)
DMB - 12
Springsteen - 10
U2 - Eight
Skid Row - Eight (This is what happens when you go from opening for Bon Jovi to opening for GNR. Only once as the headliner, but they were with Soundgarden)
Poison - Seven (None since 1990)
GNR - Seven
Beastie Boys - Five

My god, I think I've been to like 8 concerts in my life. I'll slide away now.

 

[Barsuk]

Jesus, Mizzou, there are hair-metal groupies who haven't seen Cinderella 14 times!

 

[Songbird]

Grateful Dead: 25-30 times, from Highgate, Vermont (my first Dead experience) to Chicago's Soldier Field 1995 (I was at the last show, 20 rows front and center from the stage).

 

[Oz]

Cypress Hill about five times.

 

[Barsuk]

Cypress Hill about five times.

Memory a little foggy there?

 

[Barsuk]

As for me, Modest Mouse five times. But none since 2004. God, I miss living in a college town.

(xan i too was at the last dead show; still have the ticket stub and i wrote the setlist down on the back of the business card of the person i interviewed with a few days prior. the show was bad, bad, bad, except for the sad version of 'so many roads' and a rare 'unbroken chain.'

 

[Webster]

Springsteen -- 62
Billy Joel -- 11
Paul Simon -- 5
Run-D.M.C. -- 5 (the biggest fall from grace. I saw them at MSG in 1987 with the Beastie Boys, 1997 at Tramps, where they had the exact same setlist and in 2002 at a charity event in front of maybe 500 people)
Southside Johnny -- 5 (not including Asbury Xmas shows)

Yeah, the show didn't knock my socks off, but they played Minglewood Blues (one of my fave tunes), so that was cool.
