Lee Scratch Perry: at least 5 times of which 3 times were absolutely brilliant!
Skatalites: also about 5 times. Especially when Doreen Schaeffer sings her tunes heaven is near
Ozric Tentacles: 4 times... I think
Zion Train: quite a few times back in the nineties, but when they went all ravey I dropped out. Nice people though.
Bauhaus: 3 times. Once on the 98 reunion tour, twice in 2006.
Mark Stewart & The Maffia: only 2 times, but for me they're the best live band around
And many bands I've seen a few times over the years like Sonic Youth, Mark Lanegan, Front 242, Pixies, Aphex Twin, PJ Harvey, Sophia, Orb, Orbital, etc ...
... and I was fortunate enough to have seen The God Machine, Swans & Augustus Pablo once. They're all still in my top 10 of gigs

Wow, I saw Therapy? six times, can't stand them now though! Another bizarre claim is 5 times for Terrorvision Again, in retrospect, not sure why..Spigel wrote:Let's See..

I'm rubbish at this - I have no idea but
Julian Cope - lots
Killing Joke - lots
Puressence - lots
Chameleons - lots when they reformed
Stranglers - lots way back when but not now

lots = more than 10 probably more than 15 but as I said - I'm rubbish at this

Sisters 13 times. Hah! Unlucky for some.
No-one else enough times worth mentioning.

It was at the Phoenix Festival in 1995. It was possibly Bjork and not Weller headlining (that doesn't make it much better), but what I can remember for sure is immediately before PL came on (in blazing mid afternoon sunshine) Damon Albarn came on stage to announce some competition winner. He was immediately pelted with the traditional hail of litter and roundly booed by all present. Just about the only sentance he managed to get out was "Enjoy your rock music" before legging it. PL then came on and steadily drove away the majority of the audience over 45 minutes. Their final song was "The Last Time" to which Nick Holmes muttered something about how you could guarantee it would be. It really was as bad a billing as you can imagine. I think Terrovision were on next to complete the wildly contrasting afternoon's entertainment.James Blast wrote:Blur? Paul Weller? Paradise Lost? one stage?.... I need to know....
As to the 2 people who replied to this post saying they'd seen 147 m*****n gigs, and 90 odd Nephilim/Loud gigs. What can I say..... Thats true dedication.

The band I've seen live the most is New model army .I first saw them live at the '86 Reading festival and I reckon its probably getting on for 30 times and only once have I ever seen them do a crap gig.The rest have all been stormers.
Probably next would be either The Mish or Hawkwind. Together with NMA they all tour regularly,rarely give a bad gig and you just have to go, don't you?
I've seen the Girls 3 times.Once in '85 and was too wankered to remember anything about it and '93(?) and '99(?) and they were 2 of the worst, most half arsed gigs I've ever witnessed.Never ever again!
