Multiple shows on every Stones tour from '75-Steel Wheels
Ian Hunter/HunterRonson/Mott the Hoople probably 15-20 shows
REO SpeedWagon many, many times but never since Gary's ouster.
UFO - Every tour dating back to the Lights Out tour in '78
Worked security on a Ramones tour in '81 so saw 25 or more shows.
Worked security on a Rockets tour in the same era, so saw many shows.
Ronnie James Dio many times solo and back with Sabbath in the Neon Knights/Mob Rules era.
A whole slew of bands 2-3 times when you'd see them opening for bands over and over or at festivals.
I've got probably 50% of my ticket stubs from shows, my kids marvel at the prices back in the day.

Nice...Haven't seen Opeth at all yet, but they are high on my wish list.
My most is Dream Theater at only 5 shows. Buffalo is not a great place for concerts
I'm lost

Not a band but I'll see my 5th Peter Gabriel show in September. Given how often he tours that can probably be considered impressive. BTW have 3rd row seats for the September show!!!

Pretty much all my favorites have been gone for years, but quick estimates:
The Replacements - Four times The Kinks - Three The Stones, Who, Clash, iggy/Stooges, REM (before they sucked) - Twice Ramones, The Jam, Pixies - zero. :( The Toll - probably over twenty.

The Toll?
I remember them. They still around?

17 - Phish
15 - Blues Traveler
14 - Widespread Panic
12 - Ben Harper/Innocent Criminals/Relentless 7
10 - Umphreys Mcgee
10 - DMB
8 - The Grateful Dead (more like 20 if you include all the Other Ones/Ratdog/The Dead)
8 - moe.
6 - String Cheese Incident
5- Beastie Boys
5 - John Butler/John Butler Trio

A few others I've seen 2 or 3 times. And I've seen Kid Rock about 20 times, but most of those are just because I've been at Howling Diablos show he joined them at, got free tickets through his friends in Clarkston or he shows up to the Woodshop and just plays.

Alkaline Trio - 3 Saves the Day- 3 Get up Kids - 2 Avett Brothers - 1

Looking back through my stubs and posters I realized that I have seen Saves The Day at least 5 times. They were never one of my favorites but I did like them back in the day. Every time I saw them it was part of a package show or they were opening. I've never seen them headline. I have seen them play with Blink/Green Day (the aptly named, "Pop Disaster Tour"), Taking Back Sunday (at the Aud), The Alkaline Trio (Plea for Peace Tour), The Get Up Kids (at The Loft last fall) and once as part of the Warped Tour.

Springsteen 53 times.
Figuring his average 3 hour show, that is just short of 7 full days. To put it another way..
