oh dear .... I have to look at my music collection to come up with this one, even so, I know I'l be missing a few ... a few notes
- I've been to quite a few music festivals
- In high school, we were freinds with a guy who owned a ticketmaster machine, we had first 10 rows to every hard rock / metal concert that came through the Boston/Worcester,MA area between 1985 and 1989.
Two bands outdistance the rest of the pack, by a lot ...
Pearl Jam - I think it's 17 or 18 right now
Buffalo Tom - in the teens.
The rest ... alphabetically ...
AC/DC
Aerosmith - 3-4 times, all pre-1990 ... their first 5 albums are spectacular, despite the crap since then.

Simply the best I've now seen them near 40x's now, one of the few bands I've traveled to other countries to see/hear live.

PJ is the only band we have traveled any distance for. The other multiples of 3+ are mostly either due to PJ in some form (openers/festivals) or our age! Bellingham doesn't get too many concerts.
PJ (see sig for these)
EV (with Liam Finn)
Rolling Stones (made 3 because of PJ in Oakland)
Cheap Trick (play at Commodore which we love, plus good friend is a huge fan)
Eric Burdon (play locally and at festivals, always catch him when we can)
James (first saw with Neil Young as an opener and caught at others as well)
Neil Young
Blue Oyster Cult (back in the day as well as here locally much much later)
MMJ ( all PJ openers and not our favorite, sorry to MMJ lovers)
Green Day (all festivals/Bridge, love them in concert but not a huge fan so never went to a solo show)
I'm sure I missed some, but as I said not many come this way and not many will we travel for except PJ. We have seen tons of concerts though but not many make us want to travel to see them.
