I wonder who has seen us more times than anyone else?

I first heard about you guys in 2007 through Paramore Fans message board. I was looking in the other music section and it said The Maine..I was like I've never heard of them before so I went to the thread and read what people had to say. I listened to The Way We Talk on youtube and I loved it. I literally went right to iTunes and purchased the EP. I was finally able to see you guys live for the first time on The Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour. The date was August 3, 2008 in Richmond, VA. I remember when you guys came on stage I was so excited. There where a few girls in front of me that were singing along, but for the most part not many people knew who you guys were. I was surprised by that, but after the show there were so many people buying CSWS and showing a great response to you guys! I remember you were still in the van and I have a video from after the show. The van was clean, surprise surprise, haha. I was so happy that I was able to meet everyone in the band and was able to talk to everyone for as long as I wanted. You guys were absolutley some of the sweetest people I had ever met. My love for you guys only continued to grow after that show. I was able to miss school (thanks mom and dad) to see you guys on the first night of The Compromising... Tour in Norfolk, VA on October 9, 2008. I am honestly not a huge Mayday or ATL fan, so you guys were the main (no pun intended, haha) reason I went to that show. I got early entry to the venue, just so I could be front row for you guys..as soon as you were finished playing I left the crowd :/ After the show I once again was able to meet and talk to everyone. Pat was definitely my favorite that night. He was being so hilarious and sweet <3 After the Compromising tour was over you guys did a few headlining shows with Fotograph. You guys fortunately came back to Richmond, VA on November 30, 2008. When I found out you guys were going to be headlining I freaked out. I once again missed school for you guys..don't worry, I still passed all my classes, haha. My cousin and I put together a gift bag to bring you guys. We drew all of your faces on it and filled it with snacks and other necessary items to survive touring. You guys were so appreciative and I was glad you all enjoyed your gift. There were still not many people at the show so I was able to be front row for it! It was so intimate, but at the same time I could tell you guys were becoming more and more popular because everyone that was there was screaming the words to all of your songs. I was genuinely happy for you guys :) After a short break you guys came back to Harrisonburg, VA on The Secret Valentine Tour on February 12, 2009. A new year = a new The Maine?? ...so I thought. At this show it was extremely overcrowded with thousands of Travis Clark fans and the crowd was insane. I was sick but I stuck it out for you guys. I was quite a few rows back, so I was kind of disappointed. During your performance I was amazed at how the crowd responded. Since I had just seen you guys in a small venue with a small crowd, I was not expecting every person at this show to know your songs, but they did! It was even more surprising because shows hardly ever come to Harrisonburg. The crowd response was great, but I was sort of unsure if you guys still cared about fans (silly me i know) I thought John was acting different on stage, everyone in the band had different haircuts, I was like WTF is going on! Then after the show John was literally unreachable. I could not even have the chance to talk to him. There were thousands of girls waiting to talk to him. Everyone else seemed really busy too. Overall wasn't the be best experience, I really thought I was loosing you guys. Even though I was disappointed (it's not your guys' fault) I think I was just more upset because your fan base had grown so much...and to be honest I think I was jealous that I wasn't the only one that knew about you guys! Afterwards I realized I was being so selfish and I got over it. This one show was not going to ruin my love for you guys! So of course I came out to the next show which was April 23, 2009 in Richmond, VA for the AP Tour. When I found out you guys were going to be one of the headliners of this big tour I was soooo happy and excited for you guys. I knew what was coming next, so I prepared myself...you guys started traveling in a tour bus! :) It was so strange seeing videos and pictures of you guys on the bus, but I knew you guys were finally going to be able to receive the rest and comfort you deserved while out on the road. This show was a complete 180 from the previous. Yes the crowd was big, yes more people knew you guys, but no I wasn't upset about it. I realized that for you guys to achieve your goal of touring and making music for a living you must progress and gain more fans. I was no longer upset, more proud in a way. You guys were living your dream and it felt amazing to be apart of it and be one of the fortunate ones that got to watch you guys grow and start from nothing and become something. After the show, of course I wasn't able to meet john, it's like trying to meet the president...almost impossible, haha. So I spent my time having long conversations with Pat, Garrett, and Kennedy. You guys were so sweet and it made me feel bad for thinking negative things about you guys at the last show. I could not find Jared anywhere so after the conversations were done and the pictures were taken I had to leave! Then came the Warped Tour! I was so glad you guys were headlining the whole thing so I was able to see you guys! The Virginia Beach, VA date was July 22, 2009. I was able to do catering that year and Pat, Garret, and Max came through the line. It was so cute to see you guys outside of playing a show. You guys were still incredibly sweet and polite people. Pat and Max were making jokes the whole time and it was so adorable :) You guys were the last band to play that night and you all couldn't express how much you appreciated everyone sticking around for your performance..I mean why wouldn't we? Haha. I was so lucky I got front row at warped for your set. There were so many people, but it was amazing to see you guys up close and personal again. After Warped and practically two years of seeing you guys every couple of months, I had to wait an entire year to see you all again. You have no clue how hard that was for me, haha. I wasn't able to see you guys on tour with BLG in the fall because I was so busy with my senior year of high school and applying for colleges..it was crazy. It was the first show that you guys have played in VA that I had missed. I have made it to every single one before that, so it was sad to break a tradition. I believe you guys did one more short tour before or after you finished recording B&W and I couldn't make it to that one either. Needless to say, by the time your An Evening With The Maine tour rolled around I was definitely ready. I pre-ordered B&W, purchased the ticket, and received early entry. Once I arrived to the show I was so antsy. I could hardly wait to get inside and see you all. Thanks to the early entry I was able to be front row again for the sow. I don't think I would have been any happier anywhere else. August 11, 2010. Three years I have been following you guys around, going to show. Three years later you guys have your own headliner!? I mean it is crazy. Each summer you guys have gotten bigger and bigger. Your performances have gotten better and better. I just have honestly no words to describe how happy I am at this point in your guys' career. You all deserve everything you have gotten and you all deserve to be so popular, and I hope you guys only continue to grow. Look what all you have accomplished in four short years..Think about where you guys could be in four more years. I love you all so much and I hope to see you guys on tour for the EIGHTH time with nevershoutnever :)

Ive only seen the maine once as i live in australia :(
I went to america in april last year and realised they were playing the Ap tour. Myself and my sister begged our parentsto let us go and see them but we were going to be in new york so they let us fly down especially just to see them, so we flew down to washington for a night to see them it was the most amazing night of my life i got to meet the whloe band and jarred gave us a free poster.
the maine areeeeeeee my favourite band EVER :D:D
i wish i lived in america so i could see them whenever i wanted :(

Haha well I have seen you guys 8 times between Philly, Allentown, Bamboozle, and Six Flags. It's been a crazy ride.
I remember the first time I saw you guys with Boys Like Girls, Good Charlotte, and Metro Stable at Festival Pier. Close to no one knew who The Maine was, or so it seemed. I remember wishing I was closer up.. That was August 20th, 2008. The next time I saw you was October 11th, 2008 with All Time Low at the Croc Rock and I remember the crowd was INSANE. I wasn't able to stay in the pit the whole time, I thought I was going to pass out. The shows kept getting more and more hectic. Bamboozle 2009 was the worst, though. I honestly do not remember you guys even playing, all I remember was how badly I wanted to get out of the crowd, but I couldn't because I was in one of the first few rows and people were literally on top of me. But whatever. I survived :) and I'm glad I survived long enough to see you guys on August 5th, 2010 at the TLA because it was one of the best shows I've ever been to! My friend Sarah was called on stage to sing and after that, we all went crazy screaming lyrics in the way back of the venue. It is so awesome that you had Austin Gibbs as well as This Century on this tour and I loved pretty much every second of the show. Especially when Austin ordered me to touch his mustache :)

I don't think you guys understand how much your fans appreciate you and it is so awesome to see that you appreciate us in return! Keep doing what you do forever. Hahahaha

i have seen u guys 2 times the 1st time was on AP tour 09 at rocketown and the 2nd time was on OP tour 09 at rocketown and OP would have to be my fave one bc i got to hang out more with u pat and i had fun making the pumpkin i gave u guys but i had fun at both concerts and it wont be the last time im going to see u guys next time u come in town im going to come see u guys so come back to Nashville TN soon!!! haha

<3 tiffany :)

I've Only Seen You Once And I Couldn't Have Asked For A Better First Concert Experience. It Was Incredibly Amazing, Regardless Of The Fact That I Was Sleep Deprived And Hungry, And There Were A Lof Of Girls. But I Did Meet Some Nice People, That Was A Bonus.

Austin Gibbs And This Century Were Also Fantastic And So Sweet.

I'm Bummed That I Didn't Get Pictures With You Guys But Getting Autographs And Hugs Was Great.

I Can't Wait Til I Can See You In Concert Again. I Think I'll Make It A Goal Of Mine To See You Anytime Possible.

Love&Hugs!

Well i have only seen you 3 times in 2 years, but i say thats good for a 15 year old who can't drive.
the first moment i saw your band i fell in love, it was in cleveland on the soundtrack of your summer tour with boys like girls. you guys were supposed to hang out after but didnt come so i didnt get to meet you then.
the next time has to be one of my favorites. another boys like girls tour this time it was the love drunk tour in columbus. it was special because it was my birthday present from my mother since she knows how much i love you guys she drove me to see you, im from zanesville ohio, this town is way to small to have any major tour come around. on the love drunk tour i got to meet you guys. unfortuantly i didnt get to meet jarred or kennedy. but meeting you pat, garrett and john was amazing. i rememeber since i got a meet n greet with blg i got into the venue early and garrett was on the stage i asked him to sign my ticket and hes like im going to get into trouble for this but i dont give a fuck, haha made my night. and my hugs from pat garrett and john later after the show <3
my last time i came to An evening with the maine in cleveland. by far that was one of the best concerts of my life. it was so hot in peabodys, i sweated more there then i do at my soccer conditioning and dood i sweat a lot there, i have to say people were passing out coming out of the pit that night, the whole silly band explaining to john made me laugh a alot. john said '' is that a dirty silly band on the floor there? i mean the shape of it, ha no its a clarinette. all you perverts where thinking something else.'' . i didnt get to take pictures with you guys but just meeting you guys and i got my hug from john again well that just made my life.

that will not be the last time i see you guys. im hoping a lot more when i get my licence here in a month.
i defffinatly will be telling my children about you guys when i get older.

GO ON TOUR AGAIN NEXT SUMMMER !!!

i'd have to say the secret valentine tour was the best show i've been to for you guys! me and my friend met john, kennedy, and jared. pat and garrett we couldnt find you! but you guys rocked it out. and bamboozle 2010 in new jersey that was so freakin awesome! <33333333333333

The first time i ever saw you guys was on the OP tour and honestly i had no idea who you guy's were but since then i have been obsessed with your music and couuldn't wait to see you guys again. so i went to your headling tour in IL even thoiugh i live in WI.....( we thought we had a better chance of meeting you at six flags) and we did!! you guys are now my all time favorite band :)
sooo thank you!

it was may of 2008 at the grog shop by cleveland. It was my first time seeing you guys and i was super excited. You were opening for forever the sickest kids and metro station. The place was full and extremly cramped. As soon as you went on the place was crazy. I was up by the stage and since ther was no bararcade everyone was on top of each other and my legs were up against the stage, it was extremly painful, but worth it. My friend actually ended up beneath everyone. You sang all the songs from the way we talk ep and the crowd was jumpin! Afterwards i met you guys.and you were so young! it was the best concert i ever been to though thanks for the memories :D

so i've seen you guys 3 times. first time was at warped tour 09 in SF. it was the first time i ever saw you guys live and it was by far the best moment probably because i was so excited and it took so much convincing to my parents to let me go. and the fact that john was so willing to take pictures and sign everthing for ever person waiting to meet him. he didnt seemed annoyed or tired that there was a ridiculous amount of fans surrounding him. the second time i say you guys was octover of 09 when you were on tour with boys like girls in SF. such a good concert. i jusmped up and down and defintely lost my voice screaming when you all came on to perform. and lastly i say you this past July at your first tour day at slims in SF. that concert was amazing because you all looked so proud that there was so many people out there to see you and the fact that we were all to support you all on the amazing journey you guys are going on! much love and enjoy the rest of your tour!! you guys surely deserve every moment of it.

Well I have seen the Maine 5 times and each time was just a unique and great experience.
The first time I saw you guys was on Easter 09 for the AP tour. It was our first ever concert. We were so dumb people probably really hated us. Hahaha. This concert helped me find my love for ARTTM and passion for music.
Then I saw you at Warped 09 and I met everyone during the signing but i was really quiet and just smiled creepily like a little freak. Hahaha. Before you played I saw you guys do the we like to party thing and I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. Hahaha.
Then I saw you at OP tour at the Rave. This was a really great concert and I remember when you played Into Your Arms and johno said makeout with the person next to you and these crazy girls started grinding and making out with eachother. Weird experience. Hahaha. And I remember seeing Garrett standing next to the stage behind a fence and I asked him for a picture and he was nice to me and took one with me. A few minutes later my friend asked for a picture and he ignored her and walked away. Oh that was hilarious. Then my friend bought the coolest ARTTM shirt and someone stole it from her so after the show she tried to convince you, Pat, to buy her a new one. You were oh so close to taking her in to buy her one but then you found out it was a ARTTM shirt and not a Maine shirt. Hahahahaha. She really hates herself for telling you it was an ARTTM shirt.
Then I saw you again a few days ago at the Rave and it was the sweatiest and greatest concert in the whole world. It was a really infinite moment.
Then I saw you at six flags. I ballroomed danced with my friend at the very top and I swear johno noticed us. hahaha. Sorry for this long speil. There were just so many good memories that happened at your shows.

So you were my first concert ever to go to, and i just saw you guys 2-3-4 weeks ago on the 24th Of July,
i was very happy to see you guys, i had never been to any concert before and you guys are my favorite band,
Ihave been listiining to you eversince you released you "The way we talk EP" in about 07`?
Yeah ;]
Well, you guys are amazing and i think your so rad and all, and the whole concert was amazing,
i have only been to one concert in my life, and it was yours on 7/24/10<3 i have been lisining to you since 07' ish, :]

i've seen you guys 3 times now.
the best show was the 2009 ap tour because it was my first show and it was the best performance i've seen from you guys! it was amazing :D

I've seen you guysss... Hm, wow. A total of..... once.... Haha, actually, you guys were my first concert! AH! You popped my concert cherry! It was great ;)
Anywho! I went to the Pontiac show, and the highlight of the night was definitely your reaction when I told you that I loved your teeth. I don't know why I said it... I guess I was nervous? Hopefully I'll be able to see you again and not say anything retarded. :p

I've seen yall 6 times and every time has been awesome, but my favorite I think was when yall played AP Tour that was the first time I met you guys, and you all were so sweet and friendly, I was introduced to Rocket because Nick came up to me and my friends to ask if we knew what time he played lol and I've been in love them ever since. But I still call that day one of my favorite days ever just because the whole experience was so much fun and I loved it! So promise me you'll never have so many Six Flags shows in Texas again because the only dates I could go to were San Antonio and Dallas, and they still were awesome, but I wish I could've hung after the show :(

I've Only saw you guys Last thursday!! it was one of the best days of my life!! I can't wait for you guys to come back to Toronto<3

I've never seen you guys live before, but march the 7th of 2011. That will change for me! ;')

Ive seen you guys 3 times live over the past 3 years. its been amazing watching you guys grow over the years and i cant wait to see even more growth! my favorite memory of the maine would be the first time i listened to the Way We Talk EP. They lyrics in all of the songs were amazing and at that time, there werent as many bands that could connect to what was going on in my life. Cant wait to see you guys your headlining tour!

soo ive seen you guys a few times when youve been to DALLAS, TEXAS! like on halloween, i was in the pittt and that was probably the most fun night ever, the OP tour was BALLERRR. and i also went to the recent show in six flags over texas in arlington! and that was sooooo greeaaat! i wish i could go again! the best moment of that, was when all of you guys pointed at our posters that had the phrases tattooed on johns chest. ohyeah, it was sooooo crazy to be pointed out by all of the band members!! that was definetly the greatest moment! also, ive never met you guys, but i have definetly dreamed of it! hopefully i will soon!

My friends and I have been to a total of 9 of your shows. We live in the Chicago area and have been to all of the ones around here beginning with the show you guy had with boys like girls and good Charlotte. I'm not sure we could pick just one moment that stands out because every show we have been to has been an amazing experience. It's really great to be a fan of such a great band that creates music because it's something you guys love to do and it really shows in your music and dedication to your fans. The best memories from your shows are definitely the times when we have been able to talk and meet you guys and really have a conversation, we've seen you play at bigger places like the house of blues and warped tour and smaller places like mojoes rock house and we have always felt that you guys truly are happy with what you are doing and putting on a great show for your fans so thanks you guys for all the great memories these past 3 years

i've seen you guys a few times, but i would HAVE to say that my favourite moment with you guys was last week, in pontiac michigan when i showed you guys my "CSWS" tattoo.
I remember the day i got that tattoo, the first thing that popped into my mind was "holy shit, i can't wait to show the maine" The 5 month wait was so worth it.
It made me feel sooooooooo fucking GOOD to see that you guys were so stoked on my tattoo, your facial expressions were priceless...especially Kenny and John's :)
John yelled at me... haha.
I couldn't have asked for a better response.
OH AND after the show, having a dance party with kennedy, making jared fist pump...ya know...the usual ;)
CAN I JUST SAY (kinda off topic but oh well)...please take this into consideration...
i spent my whole night last night watching all of the maine's old videos from 2008/2009, i miss when you guys used to make stupid/hilarious videos!
Can you please start making those again?
Sure the artsy videos are cool too, but i miss the old videos.

I love you guys to death.
Stay Gold.

My sister and I have seen you guys a total of 5 times, which is pretty good considering we live on the other side of the country from you :) The most recent was for my 21st birthday on Aug 2 at Six Flags. The show was amazing & the perfect way to spend my birthday, with my favorite band :) I think I'd have to say my favorite show was on Nov 20, 2010 at Starland Ballroom where I met all of you guys & actually got to talk to you for a little & not be rushed by security. I enjoy every show I attend that you're playing & I always find a way to see you whenever you're in Jersey! Thank you for always putting on amazing shows & still taking the time to hang out :)

Chelsey

ive seen you guys 4 times so far hopefully going on 5 soon! i wish i could see an evening with the maine tour but its not coming to buffalo :/ my favorite show has to be the first date of the op tour on october 14th with arttm and blg.. the crowd was so energetic for you it made the show that much better! loved meeting you all and getting pictures after the show as well! keep up all the hard work :) pat, you and the guys deserve all the best and always make a point to hangout and talk to the fans it means a lot <3

My favorite memory would have to be August 15, 2008 the Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour in Lowell Massachusetts. Before the concert I was not familiar with the Maine, but as soon as you guys started playing I knew that this would be a band that I would follow for sometime. At the end of the night I couldn't get your songs out of my head and the next day I bought Can't Stop, Won't Stop. I love your music and your live shows are incredible. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to An Evening with The Maine, which is really upsetting cause i know it will be amazing. Hopefully i can catch you guys the next time you come to the northeast, which is soon i hope. -Love Nicole

The first time i saw you guys play was at a little place called macs bar on 5/11/08.
hahah :D
my favorite memory was having Kennedy sign my Last Call for Camden picture :D
I also saw you guys at the eagle theater on July 28th recently.
Ohh and I've seen you a total of 6 times :D
