The furthest you've travelled to see a band ?

And Progeezer,if he was there,probably only one at Woodstock and Soleil Zeuhl.

He skipped SZ, though there was a fair North American representation, at least 6 of us.

Mmmmhhh!!!... UI suppose Steve and I shouldbe honoured that you came to see us in A'dam, even if it was not to interview us...

That is a very different situation. Meeting people i know from prog ears is something else. I love hanging out with people from prog ears and willing to travel to do so. Besides, concerts are in the evening, which means I need to leave in time, to catch the public transport.
I've done interviews in Wuppertal, when I was in Cologne. And I've visited a Hoelderlin rehearsal in Cologne, when I was in Cologne.

Wheeling, West Virginia to North Carolina - 9 hours (which turned into 11) to get to ProgDay 2013.

[Jimmy Giant]

Baltimore to Loreley Germany to see Eloy at Night of the Prog. Worth the trip right there.

Enjoyed every band except Anthema.

About 40 years and a million miles since I first wanted to see Olivia Newton-John when I was seven or eight and we were driving through Portugal and we passed by a small theater with her name on the marquee saying she was going to play the following night. Damn!

Flash forward 39-40 years and hundreds of concerts and shows later and I take my wife and kid, ( my best-friend gave his daughter Olivia as a middle name) sending roses backstage of course to the second girl/woman I fell in love with, to finally see and hear her, my favorite singer of all time, perform live. It was a very enjoyable show for me and well worth the wait. I'd still leave my wife for her. LOL
