Longest gap between seeing the same band

[roman totale]

I can’t beat you, but I saw OMD at the Apollo in 1983 on the Dazzleships tour, then next in Cleveland in 2016.
Other decent gaps I had was Wedding Present 1986-2018 and Half Man Half Biscuit 1985-2017.

 

[Slipper One]

Mine would be the Prodigy in 1996, 2014 and later this year.

I am an amateur.

......and still only young. :)

Tonight in St Petersburg (not the one in Russia) i am seeing Orchestral Manouvers In The Dark for the second time.
The first time was at GMEX in 1986 during The Festival Of The 10th Summer - a gap of 36 years.

Although I can also beat that! My first ever gig was Stiff Little Fingers in July 1980 and I saw them the 2nd time in Boston in 2019 - a gap of 39 years!

Can anyone beat that?

No because I ain't that old a **** yet :-)

Longest is CUD, saw them at the student uni in 89 and then seen them when they reformed in 2010 and several times since so about 20 yrs is the longest gap for me

Kind of…

I think I can beat that span:

Yes at the Empire Theatre October 1971

Anderson, Wakeman and Rabin at Usher Hall March 2017

Think thats 46 Years give or take a few months.

I think Rick wore the same cape in both concerts :-)

There must be some Stones fans out there that can beat that surely?
