I was 9 years old in 2007 when I saw my first Stones concert.
Wish I was born 10 years earlier and been able to catch the BTB and Licks-tours since those tours were obviously much better than the ABB-tour judging by bootlegs.

Some Girls, Steel Wheels,Bigger Bang, Brooklyn Anniversary, Grrr. 2x.. That makes 6 plus one New Barbarians, Mick @ Live Aide and whatever Keith and Ron did with Dylan, Ron Wood and Mick Taylor, Jimmy Rodgers show. I consider myself fortunate, but still need one more show. Other bands that improvised like The Dead and Allmans I have seen much more. The set list for The Stones has always been rooted in the early 60's mindset. That is who they are, not criticism. Wish I had seen them in Taylor years.Getting tickets for The Stones has always been a pain in the ass, expensive and harder to get than most others. I'll never forget the crummy postcard I got when rejected for MSG.

I stopped counting. About every tour since 1973, several shows each. Last was Havanna. Probably could buy a bungalow in Tarzana for all the money I gave them - no regrets. Sorry about being such a big mouth
Six times, and that is nothing compared to all the others on IORR. However in my circle of friends I don't know anyone who has seen a particular band or artist more than a couple of times and whenever it comes up and they hear I have seen the Stones six times they think I must be crazy.
only 3 times, 1990 at hampden park glasgow when i was 21. was my first opportunity to see them, work commitments prevented me from seeing them at wembley.
2nd time murrayfield edinburgh in 1999, 3rd time at 02 in 2007.
probably could have seen them more, but marriage and kids always came first.
could never have saw them pre 1989, as the tour before that was 1982 and i was too young.
Despite all their history in Toronto, I came late to the party and didn't see them until the 2003 Toronto Rocks (SARS) show. Saturday was #18. Hoping for a few more...
Only once, Sept. 16, 1989 in Raleigh, N.C. It sounds crazy now, but my feeling at the time was that this might be the last time to see them, they were getting old, Keith's drug history was well known and rock bands didn't play forever like they do now. Shortly after I was married with kids. and didn't feel I could justify the cost of the ticket on subsequent tours. I love studio Stones more than live Stones.
