        No surprise that The Beatles head this list...but a few of their other choices may leave something to be desired.

          Ahh, Wings Over America 1976. 36 sold out shows, intense media coverage, spectacular reviews, broken arena attendance records, and of course a #1 triple live album.

          "This is for all the Wings fans!" - McCartney introducing "1985" for the first time on American soil (Phoenix 2010)

                                  Yes, and what about early Black Sabbath tours? Legendary! And Alice Cooper, at one time during the 70's the number one concert draw in the U.S.!  If he's gonna talk about tour history, let's get real! Emerson Lake and Palmer had some of the greatest tours ever, also! Don't forget the great Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and Bruce Springsteen also forged greatness out of the touring grind!
