In the vein of the new and improved GD, I am asking for some opinions
I assume that we are all music fans here, so lets say your favorite band is touring, how many times do you try to see them. How much is to much. I have a friend who loves Dwight Yoakum and has seen him probably 5 times this year. How many concerts for one band have you done in a year?

jacktor, get divorced and run away with me.
let's put it this way: in 2003 i followed pearl jam for 5 shows and i regretted not going to two others.
i'm seeing them twice this tour, and the only reason i'm not at a handful of PJ shows in canada is because i am working.

it all depends on whether they mix up their setlists every night. why would i want to go and see a band play 5 times if they're going to play the same things everytime?

I like to see Pearl Jam once every couple of years. I'd probably see them more, but I like to have things like a new kitchen floor, a working oven, a TV, ... food. For the price of two Pearl Jam tickets I can hang out with my friends at a bar a lot. I get more out of that than driving all over the country hearing variations on Pearl Jam's setlist.

i understand completely, I cant afford to fly to any of the PJ concerts, but the money I have spent this year going to show around town has been ridiculous

I've seen rem like 6 times and never got sick of them. But they played here a couple of times this year and I went to one of the shows but not the other because i just didn't want to see the same show again.
But on the other hand I would travel to see pearl jam everywhere i feasibly can.
So it depends on the band and how much you want to see them. If you love a band then no amount is to much, but if you only like them then once or twice should do

totally depends on the band. after i saw pearl jam last year i wish i could see them a few more times that tour. i saw green day last week and that was enough until their next album. i saw metallica a few years ago, and i would have loved to see them again, but they played the same set for the entire tour (SS'03). So i guess it depends on how big of a fan i am, and how they work their sets.

I've never left a concert and said, "I'd pay $50 to do that again tomorrow."

prices can be a bite in the ass, I paid $65ish per ticket for a Chris Isaak concert this year, I really like his shows and they are worth the money in some ways, but I just cant justify paying that much again. I have seen him 3x and i am done
