Which band / bands have you seen the most?

[The Card Cheat]

Quo - 30 to 40 times, kind of lost count - mostly between 77 and 84 sporadically after that including twice in one day - 1991, 1st gig in Sheffield then motored down to Wembelly for a 2nd gig - ( Quo meanwhile played Brum and Glasgow - 4 gigs in 12 hours ) frantic day really ( see wot I did there?).

4 gigs, 3 chords.
Sorry I couldn't resist that terrible and hackneyed joke..

 

[JonnyRiverdance]

Back in the days - by far the main one Angelic Upstarts, and yet another one for Kirk Brandon mainly in Theatre of Hate,Spear of Destiny.

 

[Ben_Jamin]

Arctics - 10 times after last night. Mainly saw them in 2005 before the first album and it was £4 a ticket!!

 

[Frozen Horse]

Primal Scream 4 times, once as a support act and once at a festival.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Do we class the Prodigy as a 'band?'. They use a guitar.

One of the best performers live that I've ever seen. An absolute 'assault' on the senses.

I've seen them 11 times. Twice at festivals and 9 actually on tour.

So glad I got to see them on the tour before Keith passed away. RIP

 

[Ignore_Alien_Orders]

The Clash 17 times
Rufus Wainwright 10
James 8
Cabbage 8
The Damned 6

Lots of bands five times and under
Although I’ve probably seen a lot of local bands more then 17 times. No Way, Basczax, Filth, Space Frogs etc…. At local venues.

 

[Funky_Chicken]

Metallica 10 times - soon to be 12 as they’re playing on two separate nights at Donington

 

[BoroPhil]

The only band I've seen more than once is Hot Chip (twice) which tells you how good they are.

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

Dylan and The Stones are the two I've seen the most times.

 

[Midnight to Six Man]

The Jam , 25 times , got backstage on 3 occasions , talked to Weller in depth about what was the forthcoming album, which turned out to be Setting Sons , great memories.

 

[VestasBoro]

State Champs 10
Neck Deep & Enter Shikari 8
Bowling For Soup, Less Than Jake, Zebrahead, Boston Manor, Grayscale about 5

State Champs 10

Bowling For Soup, Less Than Jake, Zebrahead, Boston Manor, Grayscale about 5

We have similar taste. I'm on 13 for Zebrahead, 11 for LTJ and 8 for State Champs. But mine were nearly all in London, so probably not the same shows you saw.

 

[Kowalski]

The Wedding Present, probably around 40 times.

I've seen Cattle & Cane a good 20 times.

I knew you wouldn't let me down Lefty.

Thanks for all the responses folks. I'm not sure who I've seen the most out of the Weddoes, Teenage Fanclub and the Charlatans. Seen them all around 15 times each.

[SNOWBANDIT]

Sorry I couldn't resist that terrible and hackneyed joke..

that would be 1 more chord than U2 mind

 

[Kowalski]

Mogwai 5 times, it would have been 6 but for the small matter of the uefa cup semi final 2nd leg.

I went to see Mogwai a few years ago when they did the soundtrack to the film that covered a game that watched Zidane at Real Madrid. Absolutely fantastic.

 

[Wilder Times]

I went to see Mogwai a few years ago when they did the soundtrack to the film that covered a game that watched Zidane at Real Madrid. Absolutely fantastic.

I bet that was out of this world, I saw them at the Sage this year and the acoustics of the venue just take their sound to another level.
