In my day, once or twice a week. Now more selective--mostly up and coming bands in small venues. With that said, just saw The Crocodiles in NY and will go to the Coachhouse tonight in So Cal. Saw a great new band called the Throwdowns in Maui last month--two hot shows. Used to see 200 shows a year but now need to let the ears rest a little between shows. PS: Went to the doctor and still have perfect hearing. I recommend getting pro grade ear plugs--it has been instrumental for me for over four decades in preserving my hearing.
