Below is my list. Not a huge number, but considering I’m not really a “concert guy,” it’s not too shabby. I met George Clinton at the airport once, but I don’t think that counts as attending one of his shows. Im also not counting Disney/Muppets on Ice or stand up comedians.
  1. Weird Al - 3 times
  2. They Might Be Giants - 4 times
  3. Styx
  4. Kids In the Hall
  5. Celtic Women
  6. Ruben Studdard
  7. Chaka Khan
  8. Nickelback
  9. Aerosmith
  10. Tim and Eric

I've seen a lot so i'm not going to list them all, but my favorite band I saw live was Defeated Sanity at the Riot Room in Kansas City! Right up in front too!
 
I don't go to too many due to laziness. Off the top of my head, I've seen:
Metallica
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Mastodon
Machine Head
In Flames
Killswitch Engage
Ministry
Arcade Fire
The Pixies
Amon Amarth
Ghost
Blink 182
Meshuggah

Saw a ton of DJs and electronic acts in my younger years, Vitalic, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Dave Angel, Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin and so on.

Supposed to be seeing Orange Goblin in December and Rammstein next year. Was supposed to be this year but the virus and all that.

Haha no way I'd remember them all.

With some very approximate calculation I have seen around 300 bands live, many of them up to 5 times.
Last time I went to a live show was 2018, I never have time anymore with the kids.
 

Happosai

Hold onto your panties
Steel Panther
Harry Connick Jr
Joe Satriani
G3
Deep Purple
Iron Maiden
Motley Crue (I think)
Black Sabbath
Eagles
AC/DC
Awesome! You got to see G3, Satriani, and Harry Connick Jr. as an extra.

Here's my lame list:

-Los Lobos
-Jason and the Scorchers (they had one hit "White Lies")
-311 (two times...I was a young non-musically cultured idiot back then)
-Snoop Dogg
-The Offspring
-DEVO (Freedom of Choice anniversary tour)
-C, S, N, Y
-Neil Young

I've gone to so many concerts, I couldn't even start to list. My main getaway and part of why I'm so peeved by this coronavirus thing.

Nobody puts on a show like the Insane Clown Posse, GWAR, Nine Inch Nails, KoRn, Bad Brains,
Jawbreaker, Queens of the Stone Age, Dinosaur Jr, Built to Spill, Wu Tang Clan, Melt Banana, Sonic Youth, Ministry, Faith No More, A$AP ROCKY, Danny Brown, Alice Cooper, Method Man and Redman, Xiu Xiu, the Locust, Cattle Decapitation, Deafheaven, Baroness, Lana del Rey, GRIMES, etc...

TOOL
nin
Deftones
ICP
And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

Takes a lot to beat Robert Plant performing Going to California in Newcastle for me. Radiohead playing Idioteque at Glasgow Green is up there also.

I've seen:
Chili Peppers 3 times (twice with Frusciante and once last year with Klinghoffer). Last year seeing the Chili Peppers was a personal high point as they had George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic as their support act, so to see my 2 favs in 1 show was a dream come true.
Chris Isaak 3 times (he release a live version of the show I was at on CD here in Melbourne)!
Michael Jackson at the MCG.
Incubus with their original (and best) bass player.
Tool. What a surreal show. Loved it though. Maynard stood in 1 spot in the shadows in what appeared to be a nappy and they had contortionists come out and do weird shit. Amazing!

deafmedal deafmedal for real bro, I'd kill to see Tool or Deftones at this point
I would recommend anyone who likes live music to see TOOL regardless if they like the band: the production is always insane, music is on point, all the video footage, lasers and lights are triggered in real time and the timing is always spot on. The set lists are not very dynamic- Maynard usually sticks to swapping a few songs here or there so your mileage may vary wrt catching them more than once every couple of years- it’s a point of contention among the insufferable retards. I personally don’t care, I will never tire of seeing Ænema, Vicarious and (most recently) Invincible. Sure, Jimmy or Bottom would be great but the current set lists are a nice mixture of FI stuff and fan favs. Oddly enough I’ve only heard Sober once live heh.

I’d kill for a high quality BluRay but who knows if Adam will ever do it 😐

Deftones put on a great show when I saw them during the White Pony tour. Chino had great energy, I’d love to see them again.

Definitely check out both if the world ever resumes normalcy!

That was the Lateralus tour and it was fooking amazing! One thing you can always count on TOOL and nin is an amazing visual and audio spectacle even if in TOOL’s case Maynard takes a back seat and Adam may as well be a statue.

Maynard seriously didn't move for the entire show! And I swear he was naked apart from what appeared to be a nappy! But yes, it was fucking amazing. A show I will NEVER forget.
