Widespread Panic 20+ times

 

Spiritualized and The Jesus and Mary Chain, both 4x. Funny enough the first time I saw the former was on a triple bill with the latter.

 

I wish that I could like this 10 times!

 

Boy, that's a tough question - I've seen close to 1000 shows, so narrowing down "bests" is pretty difficult.

I saw Prince 3X in 1988, and that's long been my go-to "best concert I ever saw" answer - and much better than every other Prince tour I saw as well. He was good but unspectacular in 1984 and 1993, and very erratic on all the other tours.

I can say the best U2 show I ever saw was Baltimore October 2001. They brought out all the emotion surrounding 9/11 and it was easily the most emotional/cathartic show I've seen.

I'm better at narrowing down to favorite tours, not specific shows!

 

Just "like" it and then "unlike" it - you can do that over and over!

 

I had tickets to go see them this past May but it was days after the Manchester terror attack so decided not to go. Tried to sell the tickets for face value but there were no takers.

 

Jethro Tull. Saw them 17 times, starting with the Thick As A Brick tour.

 

The Dead, not sure how many times, less than 10.
Runner up, The Clash, 4 times.

 

Neil Young
Bob Dylan
Bob Weir's Ratdog
