    The Dandy Warhols at least 10 times over the years.

    Almost always a wonderful occasion, even when they were so stoned they could barely play as they were in one gig at the Brixton Academy. My first and last gig at the now closed Leeds Cockpit was seeing them. Must catch them again, it's just so expensive to go see them in London.

    I've been to more Warren Haynes Christmas Jams than I can remember, plus saw Gov't Mule on their own a couple of times, plus the times I saw him with the Allman Brothers.

    How many shows must a band perform, before the Hoffmanite is happy?
    Yes and how many miles must the fans follow them?
    The answer my friend, is the too high to count, the answer is to high to count...

    Any of the first stage CBGB era bands like Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Television etc. would be dozens of times. But most seen would have to be Television which has to be around 40 times.

    Widespread Panic. Lost count, but I'd be embarrassed if hadn't. More than 50 shows. Mostly 1995-2001.

    I've seen Phish 20+ times since 1992, which is actually a pretty small number compared to most Phish fans.

    Yeah, it's weird how very different music can still be enjoyed by people who you'd never assume would like it.
