Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
I used to be able to remember every band I had ever seen and how many times, but man……as I get older some of it is starting to fade away. There are few that I know I have seen more than 15 times. They would be:
Kansas
Blue Oyster Cult
Foghat
I probably have about 20 that I have seen more than 10 times, but don’t remember them all.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Gabriel - every tour except the first, including his Warm-Up Gig in Paris (special trip), around 10. In very close competition, Crimson, Yes.

Those are all nice, but what we really want to know is how many times you saw Mozart!

"When Yes appeared on stage, it was like, the gods appearing from the heavens, deigning to play in front of the people."
150+ Grateful Dead shows make more sense than seeing Rush or Yes more than once or twice on each tour.
In my dreams my friend.I thought you had seen the Allman Bros. at least eleventy-seven times, Greg!
