Top 5 artists you’ve seen live the most

Haven't seen many acts live. Only 4 I have seen twice:

BOC
Everclear
Sloan
Sammy Hagar (funny story of why)

 

Hmm well outside of local bands:

Bob Dylan
Phish
Flaming Lips
Widespread Panic
Willie Nelson

Thats my offhand recollection but I could be wrong. These are the acts I saw at lest a dozen times.

 

I've seen Phish 23 times since 1992, all up and down the east coast.
I've seen White Denim and the Flaming Lips 4 times.
I've seen Grateful Dead, Rush, Los Lobos, Bob Dylan, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, They Might be Giants, and Dave Matthews Band 3 times. To be fair, I never saw DMB on purpose, but he opened for everyone who came through Virginia in the mid 90's. I saw him open for Phish, WSP, and 3rd billed on the H.O.R.D.E. tour.

 

Damn! I had a feeling I’d see some impressive lists when I started this thread and y’all did not disappoint!

 

My Morning Jacket (20+)
Pearl Jam (10+)
Eddie Vedder (5 or 6)
Roger Waters (3)
About a 5 way tie I think

 

I also left out CSN and CSNY multiple times.
You people are helping me recall as I go thru the posts! Thanks!

 

Yes, Bob Dylan, Steve Hillage, Billy Bragg, and Dire Straites

 

Phish, Richard Thompson, Steely Dan, Jorma, Jimmy Vivino.

 

Hard to remember all of them , but it's something like this.

The Church- 10- 12
Echo and the Bunnymen- 7
Psychedelic Furs- 6/ Love Spit Love- 2
Ramones- 6
Grateful Dead- 6

 

I don't go to many shows but here is my small list.

Bob Dylan 6 times
The Flaming Lips 5 times
Ghost 3 times
Tool 2 times
Garbage 2 times

 

Rolling Stones
Beach Boys
Rush
Warren Zevon
Jackson Browne

 

I've seen the Dead, but I am very jealous of The Church and Echo & the Bunnymen. WoW! Really great bands, and no doubt they were typically great!

 

No Deliverance tour was great.

Bush was my first proper concert, in 96. Goo Goo Dolls and No Doubt opened-they did not win me over!

 

The Rolling Stones (10X between 1981 - 2019)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (6X between 1993 - 2016)
Fleetwood Mac (3X between 1976 - 2017)
Jeff Beck (3X between 1975 - 2016)
Bruce Springsteen (3X between 1999 - 2016)

 

Los Lobos
Rolling Stones
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
The Kinks
Brass-A-Holics

 

John Martyn a goodly number of times between 1975 and his last in London in 2008. A special mention to the one with Steve Winwood in Norwich at UEA in 1979

 

When, where, and how were they? Love those guys.

 

Robert Plant - 6 (Vancouver 1988, 1993, 1995 & 1998 and Calgary 1988 & 1989).
Rush - 6 (Saskatoon 1975, 1979 & 2012, Calgary 1986 & 2008 and Vancouver 2015)
Dweezil Zappa - 6 (Vancouver 2006, Calgary 2007, 2014 & 2019, Saskatoon 2009 and Nelson, BC 2018)
John Cale - 5 (Saskatoon 1985, Calgary 1986, 1987 & 1988 and Vancouver 1995)
The Stampeders - 5 (Tisdale 1973, 1974 & 1975, Melfort 1976 and Calgary 1986)

 

For free both times. The 2nd time was at a rib festival and they were not totally into it, but before that it was for free at the Indy 500 speedway and my wife still has a picture of Art and her. He even signed an ice chest because we had nothing else to sign. I love them too, and they are the one band that when I saw them live I could look around and everyone was mouthing the lyrics.

 

Yep. I've always felt a weird connection to Art. His lyrical subject matter connects...feels like a long lost brother to me.
