re: Have you ever seen a band two nights in a row?

I saw Garth Brooks back to back nights, and it was awesome both times.

Me too. His version of the black lives matter song was even better the second time

Several times, they always have a different set list, and even different openers sometimes too. 2 totally different shows.

Rush in 1984 in Biloxi then New Orleans. I believe the setlists were identical but it took nothing away for me.

I also saw Styx two nights in a row at the Saenger. They were there four nights to record a live album. There was actually more variance in that show.

Jam bands mix it up so much that the 2-3 night runs in the same city are pretty much guaranteed to be totally different from night to night. Now if you were following a short leg of a tour going from city to city you're going to see some repeats, but it is still going to be a different show each night, even with a few repeat songs. They'll be in different spots in the setlist, or segues between songs will mix it up. I saw Widespread Panic in Memphis one year and over both nights there were no repeats. I saw Dave Matthews Band in one city one night and another city the next, and I think the only repeats were 2-3 radio songs from the latest album that they probably played most nights, but when you're 3-4 hours from the city you played the night before, chances are you only have a few in attendance that saw the previous show.

The first night of my bachelor party we hit a bar that had a band playing called Petty Cash and they were awesome. Small venue so they were right next to where we were drinking. Had a great time with them. The whole bar did.

Next night started at a rough strip club. Left after about a hour, thankfully because on of my buddies was spending too much time with one of the worst looking girls. White, corn rows, nose the size of my foot.

Went back to the bar from the first night and Petty Cash were unexpectedly playing again. Told us they were not supposed to, but had such a good time, they came back. Drank and sang with them again.

Still have their business card almost 15 years later.

Different sets, even with some overlap (preferably none), definitely

I think most today can't alter due to the extreme light shows etc that go with each song.

They Might Be Giants. Six shows in seven days. The sets were different enough that it never got stale. The encores were pretty close to one another but the meat of the show was shuffled around. Opening song was the same. Closing song and encores were very close. The middle was very unique to each city.

Seen Dalton Bush solo then his band Back to Back at Flora Bama. Sings Old Country. Great guy. Even better Singer.

those swifties have seen her
three times in a row

Also saw Rush in back to back nights on the Moving Pictures tour in Cobo Hall, Detroit

I saw Rush when they were an opening act for Blue Oyster Cult.

They were doing their 2112 album and BOC was doing The Reaper album.

That was a show.
