There's this on the "Springsteen on Desert Island Discs" thread:

.... I've seen him live loads of times over the past 35 years.

which got me wondering, who have Lifers seen most often, and would you go to see them again?

For me, it's Stiff Little Fingers, having been to about eight of their gigs in the '70s and '80s and one at Brockwell Park around the turn of century, and based on that performance I'd never go again.

    Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits, Clapton, Runrig. The first two about ten to 15 times each, the third I cannot be sure but at least 30! They've been around over 40 years and I started watching them when I was a student. Soundtrack to my life.

    John Mayall back in the 60s and 70s .. he was on everywhere all the time so it seemed .. and his various sidemen constitute the 'royalty' of break out rockers in that era ... Yardbirds, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac etc. etc. .. seen all the above more than once down the years

    The Mighty Quo - well over 25 times, possibly 30 times, it's all a bit of a blur to be honest.
    Clapton - about 12 times.

    Sham 69, virtually every London gig late 70's / early 80's. The Clash at least a dozen times.

    The Pogues 9 or 10 times.

    Ian Brown, half a dozen times.

    Many others on numerous occasions but the above are the first that come to mind.

    The Pink Fairies played all over and around London back in my student days, used to see them nearly every week. Saw Zeppelin 9 times, five times at Earl's Court over two weekends, both Knebworths, the Ally Pally, and the last one at the O2.

    Would love to have seen Pie with Marriott.

    Saw Greg Ridley, Frampton, Clem Clemson & Jerry Shirley play together as HP at the Steve Marriott tribute show about 15 years ago, they were fantastic.

    Greg Ridley died a few years ago so no chance of seeing it again.

    Probably listened to John, more than any other artist this year.Those concerts with Danny really were special. John had his demons, and could be one hell of a 'mother', but those songs are wonderful. Sadly I never saw him live.
