(Lack of) Moderation in Concert-Going

[bucklind17]

I am curious how many people, when their favorite bands/artists release concert dates, plan to go to numerous cities to see them perform?

I have never been a creature of moderation. I am a theater fan and have seen some of my favorite musicals over ten times each (and one, way more than that). However, I have rarely been in a position to go see one of my favorite bands perform numerous times in one tour. Right now, TWO of my favorites are touring at the same time and I feel like I am ready to burst with so much excitement that I am already anticipating that the two concerts I have planned for each are not going to be enough. I am looking at hotel room rates, trying to figure out if I can a little time off of work, checking to see if tickets are still available, etc.

Part of me wants to say, ok, calm down. You are seeing four concerts in two weeks and you are going to fall over when they are done, with exhaustion and happiness. The other part of is thinking "They aren't going to tour again till who knows when! The other shows aren't that far away! Just do it!" I feel like the devil side is going to prevail.

So please, share some experiences with me. How many times have you seen your favorite band on one leg of a tour? Or ever? Or anything? To hell with moderation, I really want to say!
