For me, it's a tie, at 3 times apiece, between Styx, REO Speedwagon (I've seen them coheadlining 3 times, in different years), and Weird Al Yankovic.

    wish i'd been soberer enough to remember, but Van Halen not Hagar, U2, Ozzy, Neil Young/Crazy Horse, Rush, Styx & REO Speedwagon all a buncha times.

    then there's Eddie Money who opened for just about every band i ever saw.

    i helped manage a R&R band called Swamp for awhile in the early 90's, but then they broke up and the lead singer accidently killed himself. image

    Dan, thanks for warning everyone . . .

    I have lost count of the exact number after number 300 during the Reunion Tour, but I'm in excess of 350 shows since my first Bruce concert in 1975 (with 8 more upcoming in August and September)... Sick? Maybe, but I have friends (with way too much money and free time) that are closing in on 1000 shows since 1973. Bruce has probably played about 2200-2500 shows over the past 40 years.
  • gumbyfangumbyfan Posts: 5,168 ✭✭✭
    Between 1995 and 2005 I saw Blues Traveler over 100 times.

    Since 1998 I've seen Gov't Mule 30+ times and will be seeing them again in a couple months.

    Both bands have (well, for BT, had) very deep catalogs, so seeing a 3 or 4 night run of either band would net very few repeats. Great for little mini vacations (long weekends) throughout the year.

    I've seen at least a dozen bands 5+ times. I'm actually spending less time & money on cards these days and getting back into music.

    I've seen Yes four times over the years.
    I didn't get a program the last time.

    I also saw the lead singer, Jon Anderson,
    when he came to a small club about 75
    miles from here. He was pushing one of
    his solo albums, but they played some
    Yes songs too. The best thing was that
    it wasn't crowded, and I was able to stand
    just a few feet away.

    Unfortunately, my live shows with Pink Floyd were after the split. I almost went and saw Waters doing his 2012 Wall show a few months ago--but my plans did not pan out.

    A cool side story--during college, I worked part time with a show security group in North Carolina called "Show Pros". I got to work one Floyd show during that run, and was very excited to be posted back and side stage during the day--got to meet and speak to Gilmore and Mason. Wish there were camera phones back in the 80's. I felt pretty lucky in any case watching the behind the stage operations, and hearing the whole show from behind and beside the stage.

    Of bands you might know:

    Tragically Hip: about 15 times
    Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers/Greg Dulli solo: maybe 20 times with a Whigs show at Lollapalooza next week and Varsity Theater in MN on October 28

    Bands a couple music geeks on the board might know:
    Vulgar Boatmen: 20+
    Too Much Joy: 10+


    This is a great thread. Another great thread would be: If you could put the original band together (i.e no Beatles or Clash - maybe the Stones) what would you pay? I think the band that COULD reunite that would get the most bread for the reunion tour would be the Smiths.
