and

This is a hard one, but I will give it a whirl...

Prince 5X
Lenny Kravitz 2X
Terrence Trent Darby

Those are just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head I know that I am missing some, but that is a pretty thick list for a young man like me (35). Some were opening acts, some were headliners.

It is also interesting to note that other than Prince, the act/group I have seen the most times live is Metallica. I have seen Prince live 5 times, and Metallica 4 times I believe.
