17, not including solo DB or Monstro shows (obviously). I once upon a time had them all listed out, but that would be near to impossible at the moment, because my brain is dead.
(hey jealousy)
but then again....cuz i live in chicago and they came almost once a year...it was something VERY IMPORTANT to look forward to...and I think i would've enjoyed the shows more so HERE than out in cali just cuz of the frequency of their visits (no offense to cali people)
I saw them the first time with Weezer on the Outloud Tour with TGUK which rocked.
I saw them 3 times (i think) at the Metro, Chicago. (Rilo Kiley, Nada Surf, and then Slowreader)
I saw them once in "Freeport" the most forsaken town in Illinois....EVER.
I saw them once at the House of Blues with Rooney, Straylight Run and The Redwalls.
I saw them once at a Chicago record store after the Warped Tour...acoustic set.
All in all...i'm really happy that they came to Chicago as many times as they did....each time was just a blast.
