nero...i say '40' because although i think it's around 70...giggles says easily 100...i say '40' (that's a lot of live music in itself)

freephonic - 20ish

the poo deal - about 12...

the burties - 20ish

gruvasylum/electryc trio - 10ish (brought my mushroom honey soup to my first gruvasylum show...not the best start

about 7 or 8 blue quarter shows

I don't count...never saved ticketstubs, hate to debate on which band is better...although i prefer TAB to phish that doesn't mean TAB is better for example...

I've seen a lot of live music but not nearly as much as a lot of the people on this board.

i've seen the bus around 10 times, I've seen caution jam, mark wilson, and a bunch of the other canjammers around mostly at come together festivals and that's about 8 since '01...give or take.

i might come off as some stoner hippy with this dippy response, but i figured i'd pipe in. i love music and the experience and experiences that go/goes along with it...

It'd be somewhere between 20 and 30 for Burt Neilson - essentially every Toronto show from 17-19 and every guelph/hamilton show from 20 to 24 or so. I also saw a whole whack of Fat Cats in that same period.

Jerome Godboo and One Monkey (Why do I have this feeling that Jaimoe or Musicface would remember these guys?) I saw probably a dozen times at Chicago's.

I know Jerome for sure. He was in the late-great blues band The Phantoms. I've seen Jerome perform as a sideman and as a headliner on a few occassions. He is as good a harp player as there is in Canada, and he's a good singer too.

Does anyone remember Jerome performing at the spring CTMF three years or so ago?

By the way, BLAIR, thanks for the Slippers... They are as magical and skill-filled as I remember them (Although I think they changed color when they crossed the border, leaving their natural environment...)

ahahahahahahhahahaha, i heart you steveland!!!!! ::

i've never really kept track of how many times i've seen diesel dog or any other band i've seen more than twice and didn't have to buy a ticket (i.e. ticketbastard) for. as for big acts, i've seen ween 5 times in the last 2 years. and really, that's all that matters. :D

I dont know about counting phish sideprojects as phish shows... :)

Phish (Including side projects 49 times. Trey Anastasio Band 7 times, Oysterhead 2 times, Dave Matthews & Friends 2 times, Vida Blue 2 times, Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon once, The Benevento/Russo Duo once and Jazz Mandolin Project once)

Based on the breakdown I've seen Phish 33 times and the artist I've seen most is Trey Anastasio with a total of 44 shows.
