Bozoso73 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 At the dawn of 2016, does this record still stand for attendance for a single act? Quote
Sue Dounim Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 At the dawn of 2016, does this record still stand for attendance for a single act? No, Queen took it with their shows in Sao Paulo in 1981 then I think U2 (barf) took it sometime after that. Quote
Nutrocker Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Didn't Paul McCartney play to something like 200000 people in South America (Rio? Sao Paulo?) one time? I'm thinking it was 1989... Quote
Bozoso73 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 So could it still be a record for the United States? Quote
Guest WD52 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I thought Deep Purple Cal Jam held the record Quote
Sathington Willoughby Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I thought Deep Purple Cal Jam held the recordThat was multiple bands, though. Quote

IpMan Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Who the hell is Jean Michel Jarre and why does everyone outside the US want to see him? This guy has performed at just about every one of those mega-concerts, usually as the headliner. I feel so provincial in the US when I find out about some international superstar that everyone knows and loves yet I have never even heard of. Quote

They all sell boatloads of records but no-one can understand the attraction. Quote

They all sell boatloads of records but no-one can understand the attraction. Argh, Yanni, now there is a mystery. Yanni and that Pan Flute playing dude who sold 500,000,000 records...I just do not get it. What is the attraction? Quote
William Austin Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 George Strait had 105,000 in Dallas last year. He had several guest stars during the course of the concert, but overall was the only act. Quote
The Only Way To Fly Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Who holds the record for the least? Didn't U2 or REM play for like 5 people and a dog at one gig or something? Quote

Never thought I'd say this, but... thanks for barfing. Queens deserving though. Quote

If you ask someone from Europe (excluding the UK) to list the top 10 European rock stars of all time, Falco will usually still make the list. Guilty pleasure... I LOVE Falco! Brilliantin' Brutal BABY!!! But yes, everyone has their thing I guess. Quote
