Too late. It is now a turkey thread.


'atsa matter lonewolf? Wild Turkey too much for you? :lol:
I like Mezcal and Scotch, neat. Next to them, Turkey tastes like kool-aid.

eh, somewhere between 20-25 for me in the red letter band. Then 1 gig with Froggy69 and 1 gig with One Gun Salute. All just enough to keep my urges satisfied. :)

Out of curiosity, I just did my own "show count" - tabulating the number of shows and bands/artists I saw in 2005.

For the "show" count, I counted all nightspot gigs, festivals, multi-band gigs, and other situations where live music was performed (i.e. "Crazy Fest," and a Pittsburgh Penguins game in December where the house band, "The Blue Line Band," was performing during intermissions).

For the band/artist count, I did my best to count each individual band/artist only once for the year, so the number I'm about to report is the number of DIFFERENT bands/artists I saw in 2005, not the grand total (including bands I saw multiple times during the year). My count also includes solo artists, plus national bands/artists I saw in 2005. Although I tried to be careful to count each band/artist once, there probably is a small margin of error here.

The numbers:

Total number of shows I saw/attended in 2005: 302

Total number of different bands/artists I witnessed in 2005: 267

Other statistics of note:

The band I saw the most times in 2005: Felix & the Hurricanes (33 times)

(Although I didn't count the number of times I saw them, runners up would be Gin & Juice/Plazma and In; I'm sure I saw each of these groups at least 10 times each in 2005.)

The most shows/events I did in one day in 2005 was five, which happened on September 24 (Ebensburg Potatofest, Thunder for Heather Motorcycle Run/Benefit, Jeff Showalter Memorial Motorcycle Run/Benefit, Tony Mollick Project at Burgi's Roundhouse, Browntown at 4D's Lounge).

I'm already off to a good start on 2006. Not counting New Year's Eve (I included that in the 2005 stats), I've already attended two shows and saw 4 bands/artists so far in 2006 (just on New Year's Day).

I'm not sure how many shows we played (Rob probaly has that number), but we only rehearsed once the entire year. *LOL*

This is humbling:

The Rolling Stones played only 42 shows in 2005, but grossed $162 million dollars! :shock:

U2 finished second for the year. They would have gotten first place if Bono hadn't taken so many days off to save mankind.

Wow...another ruined thread...imagine that, but here's my two cents anyways on show count....

67 with Third Standard
39 with my local classic rock trio Chaz in NW PA
2 acoustic shows.....

Grand total of 108 for the year...not too shabby for a weekend warrior with an exhausting day job......
