I just recently went to my 100th concert and I was curious how many concerts other people have been to. I've noticed here and on antsmarching.org that a lot of people have seen pj and dmb a lot of times. I'm just wondering what other bands you have seen.
Heres a link to my list of bands seen and # of times seen

You and me both....
There's approximately 40 ticket stubs on my wall right now, that's maybe half of the tickets from all the bigger shows I've gone to. So lets average those out to 2 bands a night (and that's probably being modest). That's 160 bands. Some of them are repeats, so we'll say around 100.
I've been to one Coachella, one Bonnaroo and 15 Winnipeg Folk Festivals and a few other one day festivals. The Folk Festivals I mainly went to when I was younger and maybe saw like 4 bands a day. That works out to about 240 acts. Again, lots of repeats, so lets say 150 different acts. Bonnaroo, I saw 25 bands, 18 of which I had never seen before. Coachella, I saw 14 acts I had never seen before. So there's a total of 182 bands. Add in the one day festivals, it's over 200.
Then if we include bar shows, I probably have average about one every week and a half for the last four years. That's about 150 shows. Usually there's about 4 bands playing, a lot of the time it's a band I've seen before and a few I haven't. I'll estimate that I've seen about 300 different bands in various bars.
Well now, lets total that up.
Total shows = a little under 300
Total bands = a little under 600
remember, these are all estimates, but they should be pretty close. If I had the time, I could name well over 300 of those bands.
Not too shabby considering other than the Folk Festivals, my first concert was in 1998.
