King Tut's is the one Alan McGee "discovered" them. They probably played the barras later. I stopped listening after the 2nd album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 If we include festival performances I'd go for Bowie at Glastonbury 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It's definitely James Brown Zaire 74 for The Rumble in the Jungle (originally). Can't believe some of the replies in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 The Beatles, Shea Stadium, 1965.Probably has to be this. Before that, bands played at theatres. Without this gig, would we have stadium tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally tens of dozens of actual concert docs will have grossed higher than that! Gimme Shelter grossed 250k in 1970 and that’s just the first one I looked at off the top of my head.

Ira Gaines Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Roger Waters doing the wall grossed seven figures I think. Take That's III tour grossed huge figures. Not iconic shows at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was roughly the box office but I do not consider it impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
