        That’s tough to pick, but I would probably say the first With Teeth tour because it was their first after a hiatus and they played small clubs. So the show wasn’t fancy but to see them in what was basically a bar was kind of insane.

      Saw them for the Alive 2007 tour. Big gigantic pyramid and the DJ booth was at the top. They were grooving to their remixes of their songs, 2 robots alternating moves with the beats. It was awesome!

    Big time tool fan in the 90’s, 125 shows total throughout the years. Havent really been interested in their music and only seen them 2 or 3 times in the past decade.

    But, the past 12 or so years I’ve been super in to Cattle Decapitation. Seen them 15 times so far including a trip last year from the west coast of America to Ireland to catch them with some friends over there right around st pats.

    Phenomenal live band and genuinely good humans.

    Weird Al.

    Most seen is probably Bloc Party at about 10 times (though most of those were over a decade ago) or more recently Everything Everything who I’ve seen about the same number of times now.

    Chemical Brothers is probably my favourite live show, seen them live 6 times now. NIN also put on a great show, going to my 3rd and 4th times next week

    Oh I’ve seen Sigur Ros 4 times and that’s always a great show too

    My favorite band that I’ve actually seen live:

    Duran Duran. Was a closet fan of theirs back in the late 80’s and got to see them when my girlfriend at the time got tickets.

    Actual favorite band and unfortunately have never seen live:

    RUSH

    And it’s not because I think that Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time (that would be Buddy Rich). It’s because their music actually talks to my neurodivergent brain. It is also due to that the 3 of them were a confluence of exceptional talent that just happened to come together to make something special.

      I would have loved to have seen Rush in concert. My wife and I did see a Rush tribute/cover band last year called Lotus Land that was pretty darned good.

    Tossup between Streetlight Manifesto and Propagandhi.

    Streetlight I’ve probably seen 9 or 10 times. Every single one is one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Their live shows are the perfect mix of energy and technicality. They are just as precise as their studio albums, but adding the intensity of live music and a venue completely packed with people who are super into it.

    Propagandhi I’ve only seen once, but it was fucking intense. Every song was balls-to-the-wall power. I got kicked in the teeth so fucking hard I thought I lost one, but didn’t care. I was supposed to see them again last year, but the frontman got Covid the night before the show. I was supposed to see them in a couple weeks, but they canceled their American tour on account of all the Nazi shit happening here. Now I’m seriously thinking about paying an exorbitant amount of money to go see them in Canada.

      Yeah with Propagandhi it’s always a toss-up whether they’ll make it into the U.S., they were set to play Fest this year too until they canceled. Kind of wonder if they’ll even bother trying to tour the U.S. for the next 4 years at least, ugh.

      PS - Streetlight is playing Asbury Park later this month if you want to add another show to your count :P (you probably already know about that one)

        Unfortunately I’m on the other side of the country. I’ve got tickets to see them in my city, but it’s at a shit venue.

    Porter Robinson!! I’ve seen him uhhh at least 5 times live now? I love how every album of his is totally different, and his performances are always such a good vibe.

        That was the first time I saw him too! I’m hoping they do something for the shelter 10th anniversary in a few years

    Billy Idol! I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen him, at least 8 but probably more like 10-11. Two of those times I got meet-and-greet tickets so I’ve got two pics of me and my husband with Billy and Steve Stevens :)

      I had never heard of Thank You Scientist before, but they were opening for one of the bands that I really like to go see live (Rivers of Nihil, seen them 5 times so far). HOLY SHIT they are so good. I have no idea how they ended up as the opener for that show, they’re so different from the other bands on the setlist, but I am very glad I got to see them.

      I saw Tesseract recently when I went to see Devin Townsend, that was an amazing show.

    Death Cab for Cutie is my favorite by far. I’ve seen them live 4 times.

    I’ve also seen their frontman perform solo twice, and once more with his other project the Postal Service.
