Bands seen 5+ times
« on: September 23, 2004, 10:35:28 pm »
I\'m just curious to see what bands all you ser fans frequent besides the Breakfast.  The easiest way to do so, I guess, is to take a tally of what bands you\'ve all seen 5 or more times.  5 seems to be a good number to base on whether or not you like a band enough to go see them 5 times(duh).

For me it\'d be as follows:

moe.- 51
the Breakfast- 11
Phish- 7
The Disco Biscuits- 6
Les Claypool\'s Frog Brigade- 6
Phil n Friends/The Other Ones/ The Dead- 5

I think thats it, there are a bunch of other bands that are at 3 and 4, but thats why I kept this list at 5 and above(so I wouldn\'t have to try to think to hard).

Other than PB, the only possibilities would be local punk bands in high school.

Was never a great gig-goer, but as mine are going to be, shall we say, a *bit* different, thought I\'d add \'em. All 5+ except fc  and H&T on whom I\'ve lost count.

Fairport Convention
Huw & Tony Williams (Welsh folk duo)
Gong & offshoots
Hawkwind & offshoots
Motorhead
Arthur Lee & Love
Manic Street Preachers

Like wayne, have seen many, many other bands, but only once or twice.

I\'ve seen moe. once at the Belly Up tavern in Solano Beach. I don\'t like them up enough to drive to LA and they haven\'t played in the Orange County area since. The Seapods had a much larger tour radius for me, so I would go to LA, San Francisco and Las Vegas shows.

hey boombox, by gong and offshoots you mean like gongzilla, correct?  I just caught them for the first time at the moe.down a few weeks ago and was very impressed.  chuck garvey sat in with them on guitar for a few songs too which is always nice, seeing as he is satan and all.

Is Deep Banana still a touring band?  I haven\'t heard much about them recently (I\'m just talking press and word-of-mouth because I am not even sure if I have ever heard them, though I most likely did while at UMass with all the hippies).

Keep the 5+\'s coming!!

I have never kept track of numbers, it gives me a headache to try and think about numbers.... but I have definitely seen all of these 5+ times:

Breakfast & Side Projects
Various GD members\' bands
MMW
John Scofield
Jerry Bergonzi, about a zillion times
Soulive
Bela/ Bela and Flecktones/ Victor Wooten\'s band
Chick Corea
Phish

There may be others... and there are definitely quite a few in the 3 or 4 range... Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, etc.....
