[Reggie Thee Dog]

12 (plus at least 2 more upcoming)

UF - LA 3/5/85
JT - LA 4/17/87 - Oakland 11/14/87
Zoo TV - Sacramento 4/17/92 - LA 10/31/92 - Oakland 11/7/92

Elevation - San Jose 4/19/01 & 4/20/01 - Sacramento 11/20/01

Top show was San Jose 4/20/01....still the first time was the best....

If I am correct the first show I ever saw is when Bono first brought a fan up onstage to play guitar (it was for People Get Ready). Magical moment.

 

[pop_mofo]

I love to talk about this...
So far I have seen U2 9 times...2 PopMart and 7 Elevation. My 10th aniversary show will be June 25th in Dublin (The Pilgrimage...YAY!!) Rest assured I am hoping that the rumours about 4 shows in Toronto on the 3rd leg are true. If they are, it will be a total of 14 shows by year's end.

Peace.

[BWU2Buffs]

42...1st was 11/22/81 at the Ritz/NYC. I just got my tickets for the shows in Amsterdam. So after the 1st and second legs I'll be at 49

This appears to be the record so far, and is completely remarkable -- though I confess, my first reaction was, "get a job" -- only out of jealousy though.

Seriously, you should write a book or something -- post your travels to the net somewhere.

Does anybody know of somebody past the 50 mark right now?

BTW - a lot better than reading the debate about one front man's alleged anger management issues.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Wow, those Deadheads had nothing on U2 fans!

...I forgot to say my favorite show I went to: San Jose 4/20/01

Around 50 or so.

almost all of the UK War Tour shows as well as Phoenix Park, torhout/werchter the same year (can you tell I didn't have a job yet ?)

3 more on the 1st leg this year.

 

[U2Acrobat8]

most of my friends that I hung out with on the last tour all have seen over 50 shows. I myself was one of the lower ones with 30 shows (3 pomart, the rest elevation). I do believe the record is this guy I knew who actually saw 102 elevation shows. Mind you that was more than some of their security guys, and I believe there were 112 shows total.

 

[Axver]

I do believe the record is this guy I knew who actually saw 102 elevation shows.

How in the world could anyone afford to do that?

And there were 113 Elevation shows, not 112.

 

[bollox]

3, 1 popmart, 2 elevation

seeing 3 more on vertigo leg 1 and hopefully a lot more in the fall!
