Thanks for the info.

Is the Pontiac '75 Show the one that broke The Beatles record at Shea Stadium in '65? Does any other band had broken that record before Elvis?

[srj1967]

Shea Stadium is exclusively an outdoor venue (???), and the Pontiac Silverdome is an indoor venue, so you can't compare them. I think the Silverdome can be both indoor and outdoor (???) but correct me if I am wrong here ... a roof was built onto the Silverdome in 1975, but I don't know if it's retractable.

Led Zeppelin played at the Silverdome to 76,299 fans in 1977.

I don't think Elvis' show broke the Beatles record because they are two different types of venues. (Again ... ??? ... if I am wrong, please correct in the next part of the thread.)
