Sixteen concerts so far this year

With the Skyjack concert on Saturday, I'm up to sixteen concerts this calendar year. But I count double bills as two concerts, so it's not sixteen nights out. Saturday was the nineteenth time I've seen trombonist Andreas Tschopp (who's in the band Hildegard Lernt Fliegen, which I've seen fourteen times). The two solo performances by pianist Brad Mehldau I saw in January were at least the tenth and eleventh time I've seen him. I know I saw two or three more Mehldau shows in about 2000-2005, but I don't have the exact dates. And since my first concert in 1978 (Linda Ronstadt), I'm up to 703 where I know the date.
