what band have you seen most often?

[redsock]

Had not heard about this REM thing. Amazing! I may just decide to go, cheap tickets are still available. Seems hard to imagine the band not showing up for this...

[distance]

double digits for me:
explosions in the sky - 28
mogwai - 14
radiohead - 12

close to double digits for me:
godspeed you! black emperor (little chance this will hit it)
smashing pumpkins (absolutley zero chance this will even increase again)
the flaming lips

Grateful Dead - exactly 100 times

  if you remember exactly how many times you've seen the Grateful Dead......have you really ever seen them at all?   

[JohnnyBaconbitz]

Wilco is my winner at 16 with Dando/Lemonheads next at 10.

Others pushing double digits include Spoon, Decemberists, Malkmus.

[Venerable Bede]

my top two would be luna and guided by voices. . .i would imagine that they are both somewhere in the teens.

after that?  i'd probably have low around 8 and american analog set around 6 or 7....then i have sarah mclachlan at 6....yes, i'm admitting it.  spiritualized is somewhere around 6 as well.  then there's gonna be a slew of bands in the 3-5 territory.

i also had the great luck to see weezer twice as the opener.

were you dating a canadian chick at the time?

[Firebutt McGee]

Were those 6 times pre/during/post-Lilith Fair?

[Vas Deferens]

ixk: for reals? You've seen PJ Harvey in double digits?  What, did you see her in every US tour stop each time she comes here....ya know, every 3-4 years?

[Vas Deferens]

Better yet, tell us the furthest you've traveled to see Sarah and the guy to girl ratio of that trip?

This never gets old...

For the record, he "claims" to have never attended the Lilith Fair and I have put a sizable bounty out to anyone who will provide proof otherwise because it will be soooo worth it to me!

[Vas Deferens]

does it matter?

[killsaly]

a lot of my favorites are in the 3 to 4 range.  (voxtrot, DCFC, Modest Mouse...)

However, I have seen mc chris at least 12 times in the last 4 years, though it might be as high as 14, as I have lost count/quit counting.
