And how many times (exact or estimated?)

For me it's Dave Matthews Band. Started going to their concerts once a year when I was 14 (now 35) and then double dipped in a handful of years as I got older. I think I'm at 28. This year will be for sure 29 in the Woodlands and possibly 30 if I head up to Dallas the next night.

Gov't Mule

Probably seen them 14-15 times dating back to the late 90's. Saw them in NOLA once and also did Dallas/Austin/Houston one weekend about a decade ago.

Pearl Jam. 1994, 2013, 2014, 2022

When I was living in Austin back in the '90s I used to go see the Asylum Street Spankers play the at the Electric Lounge a lot, too many times to count. If I remember correctly they played there every Wednesday. I always thought that was a bit ironic that they played there because their novelty was that they didn't use mics or amps.

Other than that I've seen Eric Johnson 5 times.

RHCP
2000 - Houston
2003 - Kansas City
2006 - Chicago

Probably seen the Melvins a dozen times opening for various bands.

Back in the Austin days: Vallejo, Soulhat, Sunflower, Steamroller, Joe Rockhead/Scabs/Bob Schneider-band probably 5 times each. Joe King Carrasco, SRV, Will Sexton at least twice apiece. I'm sure I'm leaving out someone - I saw a ton of live music in clubs back then.

San Antonio present day era: Ruben V 6 or 7 times, Hayes Carll, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers, Kenny Chesney, the Eagles (oddly enough) two or three times each.

Yeah, I've mellowed.

There are several bands I've seen 50+ times. Maybe even 100 times. That said, they were all (fairly successful) regional bands that would do an occasional national/international tour, most of which are no longer together. The one that is, I haven't seen in concert in at least 15 years. I was also friends with all those guys.

As for "bigger" acts. I've seen DMB 9 or 10 times, but probably not in the last 20 years. Tool probably 10 times. Better than Ezra probably 15 times. Muse 5 times, I think. Ray Lamontagne 7 or 8 times. Probably a whole bunch more in the 5+ range. Concerts use to be a big part of my life.

Acdc, 4 times

dmb 13
Robert Earl Keen 11

Lyle Lovett
Radiohead
Modest Mouse

Pat Green 4 times
Dub Miller and the Highway 6 Band 4-5 times
Garth Brooks twice

Chicago - probably 25 times

Did you get to see them with Terry Kath? I would have loved to see him.

For popular world wide known bands:
Since they've toured together so many times in some combo (2 of 3 or 3 of 3) over the last decade, I'm fairly certain it's one of Def Leppard, Poison, and Motley Crue. At least 8-9 times each.

Megadeth - 7 times
AIC - 5 times (post- Layne era )

Now if we're talking Texas country:
20+ times each for Roger Creager, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers

Yeah I excluded Texas country. Couldn't even remember how many times I saw that late 90's - 2010 crew of singers.

Trying to think of some others...

Avett Brothers - 5
Lyle Lovett - 5
Trampled by Turtles - 3
Arcade Fire - 3
Muse - 3

DUDE I forgot Soulhat existed but dang that was good stuff

Think I saw Skynyrd four or five times in high school and college at the Woodlands.

The only bands I've seen more than once are The Killers and The Offspring.

All estimates:

Reckless Kelly 30-40
Cory Morrow 30-40
REK 30-40
The Mavericks 20-30
Tons of others 10-20 (Charlie Robison, Pat Green, Gary P. Nunn, Jack Ingram, Joe Ely, Ryan Bingham, Boland , Ragweed, Randy Rogers, etc.)

Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder: 6
Tool: 6
Deftones: 6
REK: 6
Hayes Carll: 6
The Rolling Stones: 3
The Smashing Pumpkins: 3
DMB: 3

Edit to include HC.

Living in Houston, probably Bun B. Not always on purpose either. He is/was just always the surprise guest, or just randomly there to perform. Had to have been at least 30 times over the years.

Thanks for giving me a reason to compile this list.

Haha. I was at this show. RIP Mango's.

Probably Toadies, just because they played around Texas so much for 20+ years

Avett Brothers for sure for me.

3 different Avett at the Beach events with 3 shows each. I have seen them at ACL at least 2 times. Just saw them in Dallas. Saw them at the Gorge. White water this past year. I did miss another Austin show for a broken arm in one of my kids. I am sure I am missing a couple too.

Otherwise bands I've seen at least 4 times
Jason Isbell 4
DMB 9+ what can I say, my wife loves them.
Turnpike 5 and 2 of them Evan was sober

Back in the day saw Cowboy Mouth 5+ times
Seen Wilco 5+ times

Head and the Heart 5+ but only saw them alone once and a bunch of festivals.
Josh Ritter. 5 as well.
Decemberists 6
Bob Schneider just because I live in Austin.
REK because I live in Texas.
Old 97s from my time in Dallas.

Fun to think about

Very jealous of these 3! Which concert was your favorite from each of them, if you had to pick?
