I'm still under 10 times for any given artist, but nowadays I'm up to about 500 total concerts since 1978.
Tool, Metallica, The Cure, and a few others are up around 10 times each.

- Clapton, enjoyable, predictable and eventually boring.
- Yes, always a pleasure.
- Genesis, until it turned silly.
- Jethro Tull, amazing until they screwed up and brought Eddie Jobson. Asshole.
- Pat Metheny, great musician. Saw him back in the PMG days with Mays and in Tokyo at a Jazz Festival.
That's it, as far as I can remember.

Never was really big on going to concerts, but I have seen both Yes and Alan Jackson 3 times each. Oh...and Jeff Foxworthy twice.

Ramones - 6x RHCP - 2x Bad Brains - 2x Butthole Surfers - multiple Big Boys - multiple Devo - 2x The Offenders - multiple The Hickoids - multiple Scratch Acid - multiple Phil Keaggy - 2 or 3x
These were mostly in the mid-80s. Not much since then.

The first time I saw KISS they were without make-up and Anthrax was the opening act.
Then years later I saw KISS with make-up opening for Ted Nugent.
Every other band I've seen has only been for one time and haven't been to a show in twenty years.

The Police
The Go-Go’s
Each at least two times. Each fantastic shows. Each a lot of moving on the floors.
During the second go-round of The Go-Go’s was Charlotte Caffey’s heroin addiction tour. She still held the group together.

That I’ve paid to see:
A Perfect Circle Tool Nine Inch Nails Soundgarden Marilyn Manson Garth Brooks
I used to work in the music touring industry so I’ve seen some bands dozens, of not hundreds of times. I was even lucky enough to get paid to be at a few shows from some of the above bands.
