    I first saw The Moody Blues in 1982 and last saw them in 2008 I think, some year around there. Roughly 26 years.

    John Sebastian, 49+ years. Saw him with The Lovin' Spoonful, summer of 1966 (my first concert, I was 11), then for the second time at The Sanctuary, Chatham, NJ, autumn of 2015.
    I kidded him at the merch table after the show, saying, "Hey, John, how've you been for the last 50 years? Haven't seen ya since 1966!" He laughed.

  10. A mere 19 years - saw the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in 1994 and 2013. Excellent both times, the earlier one being one of the best shows I've ever seen.

    At the moment it's 23 years - The Wedding Present, first - 1990, most recent 2013. However, when I see Stereolab in 4 weeks time (yaaay), that will be a span of 26 years (1993 - 2019).
    The Weddoes are in my town in October and I think I should be there which would given them a 29 year span.
