    Neil Young 122x!!!!! Fantastic!

    Just seen once for me (CSNY 1970) and heard once in the late 90's listening to Neil and the Horse while sitting in a tree top right next to Shoreline Amphitheater.

    Dave Matthews Band - 30 times
    The National - 11 times
    PJ - 10 times
    Wilco - 9 times
    U2 - 7 times

    I probably have some ties in there with U2, but they jump out first. Lots of bands 3-4 times.

    How the hell do you guys keep track....I even have all my ticket stubs but still have no clue.

    I would guess:
    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
    The Walkmen
    Pearl Jam
    Flaming Lips
    Death Cab (inadvertently; they just tend to headline festivals all the time)
