which artists / bands have you seen live in concert over the years?
the ones coming to my mind right now, in no particular order:
U2 (2x)
Bon Jovi (7x)
Metallica (1x)
Bruce Springsteen (1x)
Depeche Mode (1x)
PUR (41x)
Achtung Baby (German U2 Tribute Band, 4x)
Pet Shop Boys (1x)
Robbie Williams (1x)
Die Toten Hosen (1x)
Erasure (1x)
Moby (1x)
Celine Dion (1x)
Nightwish (1x)
Apoptygma Berzerk (1x)
Anastacia (2x)
Roxette (3x)
That's a great list. I only attended a Coldplay and a UB40 concert. And I've seen a number of well-known Dutch bands at local festivals. Still got a long way to go!
U2 - twice
Radiohead - God knows how many times
Ash - likewise
Asian Dub Foundation - 3 or four times (Oxford 1998, still the best gig I've ever been to)
Underworld - a few times
Faithless - twice
Basement Jaxx - once
Spiritualized - at least twice
Aphex Twin - twice
Led Zeppelin - once (Knebworth '79)
Oasis - twice
Blur - twice
CSS - once
The Go! Team - once
Banco de Gaia - once
Red Hot Chili Peppers - once
Ice Cube - once
Primal Scream - twice
And a whole bunch more - before I had kids, I was at Glasto or Reading every year, going mental for a dirty weekend. The last gig, though, was Radiohead in London and it was monumental.
