Free Tour breaks all records!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 09:08
by admissions and also adjusted for inflation -- (link) - Roger More Oct 26, 09:04
By Admissions, here is the top 5: - MDH Oct 26, 09:02 14
- I understand, but have in mind that a movie opening in 2009 has way, way more competition that one opening in 1979 - celedhring Oct 26, 09:07 4
  - really, there are so many differences. There are more large stadiums these days, there are several countries that wouldn't have been part of a concert - Roger More Oct 26, 09:11 1
    - on the other hand, I see less concerts being performed in stadia and artists make much more on fewer dates and do not need to do extended tours. - zork Oct 26, 09:17
  - sure, and movies used to run for months or even years. I just don't think much of records that are in constant change like that and inevitably fall -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:10
  - This should have gone above and not under MDH's post... -- nm - celedhring Oct 26, 09:08
- makes more sense that way to me. I wonder how Abba, Duran Duran, and Grateful Dead rank. -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:03 8
  - Abba was offered $1 Billion to reunite to tour, and they turned it down -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 09:05 7
    - i've mentioned that on here a couple of times -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:08
    - I don't think I know how to turn down a billion dollars. -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 09:06 5
      - n - uhm -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 09:08
      - They said "We do not sound like we once did, and it would be an injustice to our fans" -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 09:07 3
        
        If they can handle the singing in Mamma Mia (I am looking directly at you, UK!) then they can handle ABBA's voices now. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 09:10 1
        
        Mamma Mia the movie, that is. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 09:11
        
        think one of the B's said "we don't look what we looked like 30 years ago" - lkf Oct 26, 09:09
