phish i think like 7 times.

the afghan whigs, pavement, archers of loaf, superchunk probably 5 or 6 times each.

wilco & mmj 5 times so far.

a bunch 3-4 times.

edit: gotta throw sebadoh in there with the other mid-90's shows

Phish 25 times (+ 3 times in the movie theatre simulcasts)
Spiritualized 6 or 7
Disco Biscuits 8
Robyn Hitchcock 6 or 8 (2 with Soft Boys)
Polyphonic Spree 4 or 5
The Orb 4
James 4 or 5

I think those are the big ones.

qft.



I saw the Star Room Boys probably 50+ times in college (every local show and a few in Atlanta), otherwise I think I saw Fugazi and Frank Black 3 times each over the years. Pumpkins twice, back before Melon Collie, and I think that's it for repeats.

I didn't count local/friends bands.

Ok.

edit: Stu, do they not count because they were local? Just curious. If it matters, I paid for admission every time, and they were the amazon.com music director's country album pick of the year in 1997 I think. Wasn't me in somebody's basement.

As a paying customer...
Dillinger Four over a dozen times.

i think the only bands i've seen more than 5 times have been:

the dismemberment plan
tunnel of love

Nah, it was just for my sake. I mean, I've seen my bass-playing buddy play in his different bands like 20+ times, but I didn't think I needed to list it here.

My post wasn't meant to dissuade you from posting Star Room Boys or GAR posting your and Bloor's old band.

Looking at that number (50+) is kinda scary now. I really, really needed to have a girlfriend or something.

Strangely, unless I've lost count, that's exactly how many times i've seen them.

I think Olivia Tremor Control (8 or 9) and Widespread (8) would probably come in next...

I saw Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers last fall at Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte but I can't remember who they played with - you responsible for that, Stu?

yeah, i think the dismemberment plan 4 times and no one else more than a couple.

I don't think I've seen a particular band more than 3 times...

Radiohead - 3
My Morning Jacket - 3
The Dismemberment Plan - 3
Wilco - 3

tour rats

did you guys sell ganja goo balls in the lot as well?

you have to respect these two for having the balls to even admit something like this. i'm sure they are ashamed enough on their own.

Oh shit, yeah. OTC 4 times and Circulatory System 3, I think.

My shows were spread out from 95 to 03. I saw basically a couple shows per year until 99-00 when I had vacation time, a life, and a wife that was very indulgent. At that point, we'd see a week of shows at a time. It was those weeks of sub-par shows that made the wife pretty much swear she'd never go again. She ended up going, but she's never been what I'd term a 'phan'.

I'm not embarassed to have seen them that many times. Hell, I'm even still weighing whether or not to try and hit up one of the Hampton shows. I think I'm probably going to wait and see if the summer tour pans out.

If they're (relatively) clean and sober and they actually rehearse, it'll be a good time. Otherwise it'll be a train wreck and a waste of time.

I can smoke weed and do other drugs in the comfort of my own home - I don't need to be at some overpriced show in a poorly laid out shed-theatre to do that.

Yeah, mine are spread from '93-'03 and very few of those were outside of Atlanta and only The Great Went in '97 was outside of the Southeast.

I've seen Ours probably 12 times. Other then that, I haven't seen many other bands more than twice.

I hope to increase the number of times I've seen DBT, though.

Built to Spill - 12 plus times
New Pornographers - 4 times

a bunch of people twice (Frames, modest mouse, Pixies, Shins, Roots, MMJ)

Rolling Stones - 1 (but it was in Wembley)

Pearl Jam, Tool, My Morning Jacket, Mike Patton (w/ FNM, Mr Bungle, Loveage, and Tomahawk), DMB

Queens of the Stone Age - 3 times
Pearl Jam - 2 times

Nobody else more than once (yet)...

Don't remember numbers, but I've seen Sleater-Kinney way more than any other band. Reverend Horton Heat would probably be second. Great live show. There are a ton of 3-4-5's in there after that.

I've slowed down a lot in the last few years. Maybe a show every other month.

r.e.m. - 10+
fugazi - 10+
dbt - 5+
connells - 5+
mmj - 3

The Ergs! just saw them last night (for possibly...the last time ever). ugh. i don't want it to end. i think i may have seen them.close to a dozen times.
