live music fanatic

I caught a Guster song on the radio on my way to work today and began reflecting on the many times I'd seen them in concert. I think I've reached my quota at 5 times. Then I started thinking of musicians I'd seen live at least two times or more over the years and some of the random places I saw them perform (a rodeo arena, an abandoned steel mill, and Red Square to name a few). What happy memories.
Here's the list:
Nickel Creek(5)
Vigilantes of Love/Bill Mallonee (5)
Jars of Clay (5)
Andrew Peterson (4)
Modern Skirts (4)
Gomez (4)
Bob Dylan (3)
Over The Rhine (3)
R.E.M. (2)
Paul McCartney (2)
Mute Math (2)
James Taylor (2)
Joseph Arthur (2)
Magic Numbers (2)
Chris Isaak (2)
The Who (2)

-most $$ every paid for a show: $80 (Rolling Stones Bridges to Babylon tour)
-artist who I would pay $100 to see: Radiohead
-furthest traveled to see an artist perform: from Atlanta to Bahamas to see The Roaches (now known as the Return)
