Bob Dylan - three times
Bruce Springsteen - twice
The Rolling Stones - twice
Neil Young - twice (once with CSNY, once solo)

Elvis - 4 times
(unless you count seeing him host Letterman because he did sing that time, then, you know, 5 times . . .)

Dexter Gordon - 3 times

You lucky person, I would have killed to see him in concert. Any particular favourite live recordings by him that you'd recommend?

Elvis: Seven times plus six more times as special guest (Charity gigs, fire at Keatons' etc.)
Ron Sexsmith: Six times, I think, plus one supporting Elvis.
Bob Dylan: Four Times
Bowie: Four times (this surprises me!)
Radiohead: Five times
Beck: Three times
U2: Five times
Suede: Five times (they once were great)
Blur: Three times
Squeeze: Three times, I think

I feel I am leaving out someone major... oh dear, the memory fails me. What the hell, that's what the edit function is for...

Frank Black (& the Catholics) - 6 times
Elvis Costello - 3 times - all with Miss. Mug!
Liz Phair - 3 times

I think those are the only people I've seen multiple times, aside from random local bands.

Ah, Tallulah, always there when I need you! So, did I get that right? Is it 3 for Frank and 2 for Liz? Or the reverse? Did you come with Carl and me to that first Paradise show of FB's, with Johnny Polonsky?

Signed,

Yes, we saw Frank three times together (including the J.P. time) and Liz twice. I saw her the third time in the summer, you were away. I think you forgot the Smoking Popes - didn't you see them twice? And also, Morrissey more than once?

Love,
Your Memory.

Elvis - 11 Times
Squeeze - 7 (including one Difford & Tilbrook show)
The Clash - 4
The Who - 4
X - 4
Grateful Dead - 0 (and proud of it)

Sat right across the aisle from a Squeeze show in '86. He was with Cait, Eddie Munoz and ??? Amazingly, no one seemed to recognize him.
