Last count was over 10 years ago, and I'd been to a good 150 shows by then. I think anyone who can provide a list is either too young or doesn't go to enough shows, a fact easily resolved by going to more shows. Assuming there's 50-odd shows in Herr Friends' list, I can think of a single band I've seen more often than he has in total.

SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC PEOPLE.

I go to a show at least every other week, and this thread is daunting, and there will be forgotten shows, but take a shot in the dark, its a nostalgia thread so please:




(besides 150 shows in 10 years is WEAK! in the past 10 years I must have been to 300 shows at least!)

You misunderstand - by the time I was 17, 10 years ago, I had been to at least 150 shows, and probably a lot more.

Be that as it may, my point stands - it's all about live music. Unless it's about recorded music, obviously.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Glice again.

You saw that Grouch Zioni tour too? it was decent BUT i thought the Grouch had a fucking attitude problem and I was thinking 'hey, motherfucker you did Invisible Man and now you gonna switch it on us?' but whatever. I don't usually go to hip hop shows, I do regret missing Kool Keith and also an e-40 show I had free tickets to..

I'd struggle to remember everything I've seen this year, let alone everything from the age of 14 onwards.

Here we go. dozens and dozens will be forgotten,

and tons and tons of local houston bands

I know I forgot shittons.

this decade I think I've seen maybe four or five bands live and enjoyed maybe two of them.

i think they've done a bunch of tours, like it was probably two years ago, the album had been out quite a while before the tour
i like grouch better than zion-i but zion was a much stronger live performer,but it was halloween and grouch was dressed as a pharoah

bound to forget plenty and I won't even go into the local bands..

Allman Bros. Aerosmith Bob Dylan, Eagles, Joe Cocker
Santana Derek Trucks band Charlie Daniels, Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Ten Years After, The Who, Blue Oyster Cult, J. Geils, Bruce Sprinstein, U2, The Pretenders, Queen, Edger Winters,
Johnny Winters, Roy Buchanan, Dickie Betts Band,
Greg Allman Band, Grateful Dead, Sha-na-na, ZZ Top
Robin Trower, King Crimson, The Kinks, Paul Mcartney and Wings, Jefferson Starship, Doobie Bros. The Four Tops, The Temptations, Ricky Lee Jones, Beck, Tool,
311, The Wailers, DropKick Murphys, G love and special sauce, Hole, The Plasmatics, Kiss, Black Sabbath, I can even remember their name the band Geddy Lee fronted

several of these i have seen multiple times with my bloody valentine taking the cake on that one

ive seen a lot more bands than that, those are the ones that stick though

you lie, I had the misfortune of seeing that show, they suck.

I might not argue with you there, but I still thought they sucked. It was a free show opening for a free Ziggy Marley show at the Santa Monica Pier. I did not enjoy either sets.

Too many, I'm going to forget.

Worst band I've seen was probably Deerhunter, the best band I've seen was probably PUPPY VS DYSLEXIA (who I saw 3 times).

I'm going to go see Jack Rose this weekend.
