So for someone to do 500 or even a thousand is going to be difficult
How many fans have followed the band throughout their whole career
Personally I've been following since Feb 87 and I think I've done around 200 as I didn't miss many UK gigs in late 80's early 90's
It doesn't matter whether you've seen 1,10 or 100 as long as you're going to see them
It's not a competition is it
