The furtherest you travelled to see a band?
I ask this after buying tickets to see a band in Boston, even though I'll have to fly there from Atlanta, solely to see the band, though there's plenty of sight-seeing to do in the afternoons.

That's loyalty, Patrick. The furthest I've gone is from Los Angeles to San Francisco. While some could say "it's in the same state!" keep in mind that it's about 360 miles to drive it, so that's equivalent to a few states in the east coast...  |

NYC to Chapel Hill, NC, for a lovely summer evening with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, just a few days after the death of Johnny Cash.
Bruce opened with "Ring of Fire." 'Nuff said...
And I didn't travel there for it, but I caught Radiohead in Italy while there on business. The tickets were damned pricey, as was my hotel room (damn you, Radiohead), and the show was a bit lackluster.

We should also mention the band we thought it was worth traveling to see... 
My trip was pretty short, only about 250 miles. Friday night in Miami...Saturday and Sunday in St.Pete. Three Grateful Dead Shows in three days (back in '87 or '88) |

My cousin flew from Jacksonville, FL to Germany to see Roger Waters and a gang of friends perform a few numbers at The Wall back in 89/90. Wished I was there...

However many miles it is from NY to England to see Procol Harum, twice: once in Manchester, once outside of London.
