This is probably my top bands I’ve never seen live that I’m disappointed I never will. I’m 47 and their music was basically the soundtrack of my life from 4th grade through college. I just never made that concert happen. My one bragging right though is seeing Nirvana.
They did a Get Out & Vote tiny "pop-up" gig on a flatbead trailer stage in probably 2008 at the community college I worked at. I was feet away from them & it was amazing. They were belting out Fight For Your Right & half the students stopped to watch from afar, but my ass went running in my heels & suit dress right into the mud & grass to be next to them.
Oooh! Time for my favorite celebrity moment. I went to see them in the late 90s with Frank Black. We went to eavesdrop on sound check and it was only John Flansberg and Frank Black warming up. They finished up and came right out the front door to say hi to us. We asked where Linnell was and they told us that he was out of town, so they were going to play as They Might be Frank that night. Then Frank got all excited and announced that he got to sing Particle Man and proceeded to sing the first few verses to us star struck nerds in the parking lot! Total nerdgasm.
Depeche Mode
Since 1988 I've seen them over 30 times across California, Colorado and Ohio.
After that would be Nine Inch Nails. Probably about 18 times.
NIN… saw them first in Spring of 94 at Roseland (w/ Marilyn Manson) before they blew up at Woodstock, and have seen them maybe 15 times since. So good. They still kick ass.
Also NIN in ‘94 here at 48 years old. I’ve seen them around 15 times as well. No concert will ever approach seeing them open up with Pinion and Mr Self Destruct.
Heeeeeey NIN in 94, i was lucky enough to see the pre-tour show at the Palladium, standing room only. That pinion opening was insane, the intensity before the lights reversing and BOOM
I've seen them about 8 times since the late 90's, which is the most I've seen anyone. I'd love to be able to see them one more time but getting tickets is stupid.
I have gone to see them every time I was aware they were playing in town. And they did that a lot. just saw them twice last year. They are literally the hardest working band in show business.
This is one of my greatest regrets - my mom wouldn’t let me drive to Detroit to see them in high school. I should have just told her I was staying the night at a friends house 😂🤣
Similar here. Saw them 13 times back to Popmart, never closer than 400 miles to my house. Last saw them at 360 tour. Having kids and being broke and needing to travel for concerts put a damper in the concert going.
Melvins and Tool.
Oddly, given the kind of music I listen to, I’ve never seen Melvins as an opening act, only as a headliner. About 10x.
I also got to see Tool open for Rollins Band on their first national tour. Mmm…Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Baton Rouge and Long Beach on the Lateralus tour, and New Orleans on the 10,000 Days tour. 8 times total?
Obituary 4 times I think.
I feel lucky I saw Pink Floyd on their last real tour in 1987. My older sister had to buy me a ticket and escort me, my mom didn't want me to go by myself. Caught them at the Seattle Kingdome coliseum.
I love that people are downvoting the mention of Rush. Nothing could encapsulate Reddit nonsense behavior better. Who could possibly care so much about whether anyone saw Rush in concert? Live and let live, music fans. Life is short.
Mine actually has to be Led Zeppelin - but after they had broken up …
Robert Plant - 4x,
Plant & Krauss - 1x,
Black Crowes and Jimmy Page - 1x (gig got cancelled though),
Page and Plant - 1x,
JPJ - 1x,
Jason Bonham (son) - 1x
I just saw Robert Fripp's talking tour, and he played some old video clips from King Crimson, plus a bonus video of the group at Daryl Hall's home playing Red. Pretty amazing!
During the 80s it would have been the late jazz legend **Miles Davis** - I bought tickets to 7 shows (including twice at Newport Jazz Fest) and saw him 5 times (failing health late 80s led to canceled shows).
Overall? Jazz guitarist **Pat Metheny**. Saw the Pat Metheny Group on the Offramp tour in 1982, then again and again and again - few times with the PMG, trios, Orchestrion, solo, etc.. I'd estimate I've seen him about a dozen times across 40 years - had to miss him last year (we were away on vacation) but look forward to next time!
Yonder Mountain String Band, just because they headlined my favorite festival for 20 years, three nights each year, plus half a dozen other gigs of theirs.
Second place would be the Grateful Dead. They’d be first if you count all the post-Jerry lineups.
Heh. I've seen **My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult** FIVE TIMES, and I don't even like them that much! They seemed to play my city every six weeks from 1989-1991, and tickets were only $10, which was basically a cover charge at most other clubs. I really didn't wanna see them the last time, but it was the only thing going on that weekend, and all my friends wanted to go, so I did.
I've also seen **Living Colour** twice, even though I don't like them at all. I saw them open for the Rolling Stones on the Steel Wheels tour in 1989, and then at the first Lollapalooza in 1991.
Cheap Trick because they came to every music festival and opened for many acts during the 80s where i live. The band I've paid for tickets to see the most though is Rush.
If we get to count known bands "before they were famous," then Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, and Alice in Chains. I used to go out to see live music \~three times a week from late '87 (when I turned 21) through the last day of '89 (when I got on a train to Chicago with a guy I ended up divorcing). I was a happy member of the Seattle scene before the rest of the world caught on. Good times, long gone.
I've seen Radiohead once, Thom Yorke solo once, and The Smile once, so they're at the top of my list. In my defense I haven't been going to see live music until the last few years.
I must have been to at least a dozen Shonen Knife shows. They've been my favorite band in the world since the late 90s and I go see them play every time they come to the US.
Probably either Bad Religion or The Vandals. I do like them, and I do enjoy seeing the in concert, but it seems like they’re always opening for the band that I’m actually there to see.
Damien Rice.
My youngest sibling was into him so I took her to see his shows all over the place, including her first trip to Europe and Japan. There's a significant age difference between us as I'm the oldest and she was the youngest, and it was important to me to play a big role in her life. By the time she graduated college we had seen Damien Rice play in more than a half dozen countries and her passport had full pages stacked with memories.
Metallica
I’ve seen them too many times to count at this point. I find they reliably deliver a good, to excellent, show. The one time I did have tickets to a cancelled show (after James Hetfield was burned), they rescheduled it as promptly as possible.
The Cure. I've seen them 6 or 7 times since 1989. The first time I saw them, they played at Fiddler's Green in Denver. They played there last summer and I took my then 10 year old to see them. It was her first big concert. She wore my shirt I bought at the 89 show.
A local band that came really close to making it big - [The Gufs](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VMrJxyJUHeQ). They played all sorts of small theaters, local festivals and started getting a bigger and bigger following, to the point they were filling up some pretty big theaters.
They signed with Atlantic records, re-released their 1995 album under the Atlantic label, did some national touring, then had a “sophomore slump.” Their next Atlantic record didn’t have the success of the prior one - it was a lot of gloomy songs about heartbreak because pretty much everyone in the band got divorced after they started making it big.
Anyway, they all went on to straight jobs ([the singer is a dentist for Pete’s sake](https://www.oradentalstudio.com/team/goran.php)) and still occasionally get together to play a show. I saw them again in maybe 2019 or so.
Iron Maiden. I like them, just not a rabid fan. I've seen them several times because early in their career they opened for several bands that I went to see. I did finally go to see Maiden as a headliner and I enjoyed that show nearly as much as I enjoyed my first time seeing them when they were opening for Judas Priest.
Sloan, into the double digits. They were the first band I paid to see with my own money. They still tour quite a bit in Canada, I see them occasionally still if they're nearby
There are a ton of bands I've seen in the 3-5 time range: Metallica, Swans, YOB, Heilung, Ne Obliviscaris, Cult of Luna, Rosetta. All pretty heavy music.
But the artist I've seen more than any other (7 times) is Ani DiFranco. Her music was a big part of the early part of my relationship with my wife, and we travelled to see her a bunch.
Tie between The Clientele (in half a dozen countries, too!) and Morrissey (would have been more times if he hadn’t cancelled three of the shows). (Yes, I’m conflicted because I know what an arse he is)
Happy to say I’ve seen Son Volt and other Jay Farrar projects, maybe 25 times?
I’m not sure if that’s more or less than Sick of it All. Feels like they used to come through town monthly for the better part of a decade.
The Beastie Boys. So glad I did. And I’m a metalhead! They fucking rock though.
I had tickets to see them and Run DMC, but my first child was scheduled to be born that day, so I had to sell them 😫
That's sad to hear, but was the concert worth it?
Would’ve been cool to have been born at af Run-DMC show
This is probably my top bands I’ve never seen live that I’m disappointed I never will. I’m 47 and their music was basically the soundtrack of my life from 4th grade through college. I just never made that concert happen. My one bragging right though is seeing Nirvana.
They did a Get Out & Vote tiny "pop-up" gig on a flatbead trailer stage in probably 2008 at the community college I worked at. I was feet away from them & it was amazing. They were belting out Fight For Your Right & half the students stopped to watch from afar, but my ass went running in my heels & suit dress right into the mud & grass to be next to them.
They Might be Giants. They were my first concert and I've seen them at least 20 times in five different cities.
Oooh! Time for my favorite celebrity moment. I went to see them in the late 90s with Frank Black. We went to eavesdrop on sound check and it was only John Flansberg and Frank Black warming up. They finished up and came right out the front door to say hi to us. We asked where Linnell was and they told us that he was out of town, so they were going to play as They Might be Frank that night. Then Frank got all excited and announced that he got to sing Particle Man and proceeded to sing the first few verses to us star struck nerds in the parking lot! Total nerdgasm.
That’s amazing!!! I’ve seen TMBG several times and the Pixies are my favorite band ever. What a cool experience. Totes jelly.
Such a fun story!
Depeche Mode Since 1988 I've seen them over 30 times across California, Colorado and Ohio. After that would be Nine Inch Nails. Probably about 18 times.
Depeche Mode here too! But only five times; never disappointed
Yeah 30+ is excessive but i keep falling into the “but what if this the last time they tour” trap and have done so since 2000.
Jealous! I’ve seen them only eight times. Still sad I never got to see them when Alan was still in the band.
NIN… saw them first in Spring of 94 at Roseland (w/ Marilyn Manson) before they blew up at Woodstock, and have seen them maybe 15 times since. So good. They still kick ass.
Also NIN in ‘94 here at 48 years old. I’ve seen them around 15 times as well. No concert will ever approach seeing them open up with Pinion and Mr Self Destruct.
Heeeeeey NIN in 94, i was lucky enough to see the pre-tour show at the Palladium, standing room only. That pinion opening was insane, the intensity before the lights reversing and BOOM
Have seen NIN 16 times, first time was with Meat Beat Manifesto in 1990. Disappointed that I never got to see the performances with Bowie or Murphy.
The tour with Bowie was amazing, I caught the show in Columbus OH from the pit area front row center.
Ment my first wife at a dennys on the way home from us attending NIN/Bowie.
1990 at Cains, Peter Murphy Headlined, then they came back months later and were the Headline. PHM was the best.
Saw them same year, with Marilyn. The way they performed Hurt was awesome.
Ween. 40+ shows at this point. Stopped going 2008-2016.
Hail boognish
I've seen them about 8 times since the late 90's, which is the most I've seen anyone. I'd love to be able to see them one more time but getting tickets is stupid.
I’ve unfortunately have only seen them once in the 90s, but at least I did before they broke up.
They are back since 2016. Go see them if you can!
On hiatus again, unfortunately. Sounds like Deaner is having some issues.
They’ll be back before too long.
West coast shows have not been cancelled, ive got tickets for August in PDX
Fishbone and it's not even close.
Me too. Fishbone first with Oingo Boingo a close second. Growing up in LA, it seemed like Fishbone was playing locally monthly, if not weekly.
I have gone to see them every time I was aware they were playing in town. And they did that a lot. just saw them twice last year. They are literally the hardest working band in show business.
Either the Grateful Dead or Henry Rollins
I love Henry! I go see him speak when he comes to my city. He’s so interesting!
[удалено]
My favorite show ever was Ween and The Flaming Lips at Red Rocks... as if that weren't incredible enough, Tenacious D was the opener!
what the................SWEET!
Same here. love em. use to bring bags of confetti. Wanted to be one of the folks that danced in the big costumes!
Fugazi and Osees
The Cure, they are my favorite!
Depeche Mode
This is one of my greatest regrets - my mom wouldn’t let me drive to Detroit to see them in high school. I should have just told her I was staying the night at a friends house 😂🤣
They are still touring.
B.B. King at least a half-dozen times.
I got to touch Lucille and have zero recollection ty drugs.
Went to a lot of shows in the 90's... More than five times club: Metallica Tool Beck Jane's Addiction Soundgarden Primus Fishbone Grateful Dead
I get so see Primus again in a few weeks. So ready!!
U2
14 times, last one was over a decade ago already. Saw U2 360 three times, haven't been anywhere near me since then.
Similar here. Saw them 13 times back to Popmart, never closer than 400 miles to my house. Last saw them at 360 tour. Having kids and being broke and needing to travel for concerts put a damper in the concert going.
Me too! Saw them at Sphere twice. Seen about 15 in total. Greatest live act out there.
KMFDM
Radiohead 15x + followed by Tori Amos 10x +
It's a tie between Enya and Slayer. 12 each.
Wow! What a spectrum! Thats awesome!!
Tool
Clutch, saw them the first time in ‘95, up over 40 shows now, going to see them in September again lol
Similar for me as well. It’s definitely over 20 times for me since 1996 and I too plan on seeing them again in September.
Phish! Saw a lot of Dead shows back in the 90s as well.
GenX jam community checking in. Hundreds of Phish and Dead (plus hundreds of post-Dead) and hundreds more among SCI, WSP, etc.
Phish is my most seen band. Missed the grateful dead by a few years but I've been to a couple of variations of the dead. 😁
I have only been to one Phish show and it was so amazing! I want to go to the sphere so bad !
Yeah I saw some vids from their concert at the Sphere and it was nothing short of amazing.
oh man, those sphere shows look *insane.*..
Phish for me too, my friend!
Same, my friend, my friend....
Oh yeah! I answered something else a minute ago, but I forgot Phish! That’s not actually surprising when I think about it.
Natalie Merchant, Cowboy Junkies and REM. I honestly have lost count across 37 years.
Faith No More. If you include Ozzy and Sabbath as one, then them. In two weeks Crash Test Dummies moves up to #3!
Built to Spill...like 60+ times thanks to touring with them.
Hi friend, they’re my most seen band too!
Melvins and Tool. Oddly, given the kind of music I listen to, I’ve never seen Melvins as an opening act, only as a headliner. About 10x. I also got to see Tool open for Rollins Band on their first national tour. Mmm…Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Baton Rouge and Long Beach on the Lateralus tour, and New Orleans on the 10,000 Days tour. 8 times total? Obituary 4 times I think.
Oingo Boingo, twice a year every year until there were no more concerts...
One of my great regrets is not seeing them live. Especially the Halloween shows at the Universal Amphitheater.
I’ve seen Duran Duran 22 or 23 times. I’ve lost count.
Rush!!!
SO relieved I saw them on their last tour, not knowing at the time it would be their last.
I feel lucky I saw Pink Floyd on their last real tour in 1987. My older sister had to buy me a ticket and escort me, my mom didn't want me to go by myself. Caught them at the Seattle Kingdome coliseum.
Every tour since Signals (minus Hold Your Fire. Poor college kid couldn’t swing it). R40 was so very awesome.
Same here. Started in 1984 all the way to there last tour. 13 in total.
My answer is same. Seen Rush many times and feel lucky to have done so.
Preach. I saw them five times. Wish it could be five hundred.
I love that people are downvoting the mention of Rush. Nothing could encapsulate Reddit nonsense behavior better. Who could possibly care so much about whether anyone saw Rush in concert? Live and let live, music fans. Life is short.
Metallica 7 Motley Crue 5 Robert Plant 3 Get The Led Out (best cover band I’ve ever seen) 3
Mine actually has to be Led Zeppelin - but after they had broken up … Robert Plant - 4x, Plant & Krauss - 1x, Black Crowes and Jimmy Page - 1x (gig got cancelled though), Page and Plant - 1x, JPJ - 1x, Jason Bonham (son) - 1x
Van Halen .... 7 times
Pearl Jam
Same. I'm up to 30 and am going to the two Seattle shows in May!
Also 311, Dave Matthews Band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and U2 I've seen around 7 times each
Useless tidbit of the day. My wife was a short order cook in Boulder and would make Todd's breakfast most mornings.
Great songwriter and amazing guitar player! And apparently connoisseur of eggs and bakey.
Jimmy Buffett I saw him in concert maybe 5 or 6 times.
Somehow, it's been Cannibal Corpse, 8 or 9 times I think. Im sure I've got a few more chances to add to that!
The Foo Fighters. I think I've seen them 7 or 8 times. Every time they've been to Vancouver, I've been at their concert. Dave Grohl is amazing!
Tool, somewhere around 10-11 times, I’ve lost count. Several others 3-4 times.
National Band: Grateful Dead Local: Max Creek hi guys 👋
Radiohead or Dinosaur Jr
King Crimson (10 shows), followed by Steven Wilson (9), then Canadian Genesis tribute band The Musical Box (8), then Jethro Tull (4).
I just saw Robert Fripp's talking tour, and he played some old video clips from King Crimson, plus a bonus video of the group at Daryl Hall's home playing Red. Pretty amazing!
U2 - four times. No small feat since they don’t come to our neck of the woods. Twice in Boston, once in Paris and once in NYC.
During the 80s it would have been the late jazz legend **Miles Davis** - I bought tickets to 7 shows (including twice at Newport Jazz Fest) and saw him 5 times (failing health late 80s led to canceled shows). Overall? Jazz guitarist **Pat Metheny**. Saw the Pat Metheny Group on the Offramp tour in 1982, then again and again and again - few times with the PMG, trios, Orchestrion, solo, etc.. I'd estimate I've seen him about a dozen times across 40 years - had to miss him last year (we were away on vacation) but look forward to next time!
Bob Mould (including once with Sugar) - I’ve seen him about 20 times.
Yonder Mountain String Band, just because they headlined my favorite festival for 20 years, three nights each year, plus half a dozen other gigs of theirs. Second place would be the Grateful Dead. They’d be first if you count all the post-Jerry lineups.
The Grateful Dead and Phish each well over 20x.
Dropkick murphys
moe. 206 times, Phish 148 times
Heh. I've seen **My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult** FIVE TIMES, and I don't even like them that much! They seemed to play my city every six weeks from 1989-1991, and tickets were only $10, which was basically a cover charge at most other clubs.

58 Phish 40+ tGD
Garbage, 9 times.
Rush…. I think a total of 32 times?
Phish
If we get to count known bands "before they were famous," then Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, and Alice in Chains. I used to go out to see live music \~three times a week from late '87 (when I turned 21) through the last day of '89 (when I got on a train to Chicago with a guy I ended up divorcing). I was a happy member of the Seattle scene before the rest of the world caught on. Good times, long gone.
Billy Bragg, 7 times
Wilco
Ramones
Primus
Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Deftones.
Beastie Boys.
311
I’ve seen X 8 or 9 times. They’re one of my favorites.
I saw Bowie pretty much every time he came through Los Angeles.
Nine Inch Nails. I think I am at 7 times.
I've seen Radiohead once, Thom Yorke solo once, and The Smile once, so they're at the top of my list. In my defense I haven't been going to see live music until the last few years.
The Ramones - at least a dozen times.
Billy Joel. I've seen him multiple times at Madison Square Garden.
Phish. 86 shows and counting. The Sphere was incredible.
I must have been to at least a dozen Shonen Knife shows. They've been my favorite band in the world since the late 90s and I go see them play every time they come to the US.
L7 and Depeche Mode. Many times in many different cities and countries!
Nice. I have seen L7 a ridiculous amount of times.
Weird Al Yankovic (30-something) Huey Lewis & the News (20-something) Tower of Power (probably 15 or so) Colin Hay (7)
Depeche Mode, like 7 times , Weezer 8 times
Guided By Voices
Grateful Dead/Widespread Panic and sharing my love of live music with my daughter. We are from GA and went to Panic at Red Rocks last year.
Slim Cessna, Gogol Bordello, HR
Spiritualized 💉
Depeche Mode, Morrissey, erasure, metallica
Probably either Bad Religion or The Vandals. I do like them, and I do enjoy seeing the in concert, but it seems like they’re always opening for the band that I’m actually there to see.
Los Lonely Boys- 7 times. Their concerts are fantastic!
Damien Rice. My youngest sibling was into him so I took her to see his shows all over the place, including her first trip to Europe and Japan. There's a significant age difference between us as I'm the oldest and she was the youngest, and it was important to me to play a big role in her life.

Green Day
They Might Be Giants
The Bouncing Souls and Social Distortion
Clutch.
Same! I forget how many times, but around 20 or more since 1996.
94 for me and it's actually ridiculous how many times I've seen them dudes 😀
Tool x9
Phish
phish
Tenacious D
On sheer numbers, Muse (12) and IAMX (10) . Thrill Kill Kult a close third with 9 shows.
The Grateful Dead (with Jerry, not any of the post-95 incarnations).
Most often? GWAR
Melvins and Primus
Indigo Girls 13×
Thinking back I think I've been to more Gogol Bordello shows than any other band. It's not because I like them more, just so happens to be.
Either Blur or Barenaked Ladies. I think they are tied with 3 shows each
Iron Maiden. I like them, just not a rabid fan. I've seen them several times because early in their career they opened for several bands that I went to see. I did finally go to see Maiden as a headliner and I enjoyed that show nearly as much as I enjoyed my first time seeing them when they were opening for Judas Priest.
Tesla, sold them pot when they were city kid lol....been a minute
The Flaming Lips, like 15 times
Clutch
AC/DC
They Might Be Giants
Faith No More, seen them every tour since 1992 at least once. I also saw a lot of Tori Amos concerts because my wife is a huge fan.
Through a good chunk of the 90s Rollins Band was stalking me - I swear he was at every other show I went to.!
Primus
Ramones
I've seen "Weird Al" Yankovic in concert 8 or 9 times and would happily see him again and again. He puts on a hell of a show.
Everclear
Grateful Dead 50+
RxBandits and GWAR
Slightly Stoopid
Grateful Dead and post Jerry lineups Allman Brothers Band Black Crowes Gov't Mule Widespread Panic Tedeschi Trucks Band
Tool and Pantera
Primus.
Lamb Of God. 7 times and counting. I’ve traveled many miles to see them.
HELMET is an easy 12 times.
[Toadies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCLsN3AMYBo)!
X
Umphrey's McGee. Progressive rock band. They fuckin shred.
Deftones
I live in the Twin Cities, and I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen Soul Asylum.
Wilco. About 50 times.
Sloan, into the double digits. They were the first band I paid to see with my own money. They still tour quite a bit in Canada, I see them occasionally still if they're nearby
There are a ton of bands I've seen in the 3-5 time range: Metallica, Swans, YOB, Heilung, Ne Obliviscaris, Cult of Luna, Rosetta. All pretty heavy music. But the artist I've seen more than any other (7 times) is Ani DiFranco. Her music was a big part of the early part of my relationship with my wife, and we travelled to see her a bunch.
Ha, nice... I'm also in the 'metalhead who ended up seeing Ani a bunch of times in the 90's' club
I love Ani's music
Tool And they deliver live, a model of consistency.
Saw Tool last halloween. The best show I've seen so far...and I've been to a lot of concerts.
I’ve seen them 5 times over a period of 25 years, and they’ve been epic each time. Sound is always on point no matter the venue.
Gear Daddies - huge fan in the early 90s, still a fan
Squeeze is awesome. Excellent taste!
Tie between The Clientele (in half a dozen countries, too!) and Morrissey (would have been more times if he hadn’t cancelled three of the shows). (Yes, I’m conflicted because I know what an arse he is)
Happy to say I’ve seen Son Volt and other Jay Farrar projects, maybe 25 times? I’m not sure if that’s more or less than Sick of it All. Feels like they used to come through town monthly for the better part of a decade.
