For me it's a bunch.
With Black Sabbath: 1992, 2007, & 2008. (Yeah, I know it's Heaven & Hell for two of those - bite me, it's Black Sabbath - even Ronnie said so).
With Dio:
1983 twice on the Holy Diver Tour (was at the filming of a video for one)
1984 on the Last in Line Tour (was at the filming of a video)
1985 Sacred Heart Tour (one of the best live gigs I've ever seen)
1986 Intermission Tour (after Viv was gone and Craig was in)
1994 Strange Highways Tour (Dio played a bloody PARKING LOT in Dallas for this!)
1996 Angry Machines Tour
2000 Magica Tour
2002 Killing the Dragon Tour twice (once was that festival tour with Deep Purple & Scorpions)
2004 Master of the Moon Tour
So all told it's 14 times. I could have seen him in Dallas on the Inferno tour in 1998, but that concert was an outdoor festival in August, and I shit you not, it was LITERALLY 110 degrees out. I skipped it - was too f'in hot for an outdoor concert.
Met him in person at the 2007 & 2008 shows. I've told the story of meeting him in 2007 here, although I unfortunately did not get my picture taken with him.
