    that's how many people were at bonaroo though, not how many people stayed and watched PJ, which is an unmeasurable amount. I would guess somewhere in South America. those soccer stadiums are HUGE and hold a mass amounts of people, and i heard they were all sold out, weren't they?

    Thats why I was guessing Brazil. But I heard there were 100k people actually at Roo/tickets sold and 65k at the show. I just dont know how you could actually get an accurate count...

    Bonnaroo had more than that 80-90k. Lollapalooza was estimated around 100k

    Id agree with you if it was based on just visuals but event in the post show interview Ed/Jeff said something like 50k.

    There was a huge crowd at "Mudfest" in 1993:
    08/14/93 - Gimli Motorsport Park: Gimli, Manitoba (Sunfest '93) [100m]
    attendance: 47,000
    set: Even Flow, Why Go, Deep, Jeremy, Animal, Glorified G, Daughter/(Gimme Shelter), Go, State of Love and Trust, Garden, Blood, Alive, Black, Once, Porch, Indifference, Sonic Reducer, Rockin' in the Free World, Baba O'Riley
    notes: This show is frequently referred to as "Mudfest" due to a downpour prior to the concert. One of the reasons that this show is so incredible is that PJ was jumping out of their collective skins to be able to cut loose for more than 90 minutes. Currently touring with Neil Young, they were confined to an early 45 minute set. They were offered this slot (and are the only non-Canadian band ever to play this large festival) and it became their night. Despite Ed's drinking, PJ is very high energy and intense.

    ...but a few nights later there were 60,000 in Toronto.

    They also played in front of 80,000 in Rome that same year, but they were opening for U2, so that number is probably a bit smaller.

    I think they projected that Lollapalooza 2007 had a crowd of 80,000 for Pearl Jam, with a possibility of 100,000 as that was the day's attendance
