Good point Skip, in fact, I think the 1981 Rolling Stones concert at the Superdome may still be the indoor concert record. Maybe someone will double check on it.

Don't be so damn pessimistic!
And, yeah, I've seen every show since '78.
We got that new Arena now too, so they don't have to try and fill the Superdome.
Or, they could play the University of N.O. Arena. 5000 seats. I could deal with that!

Old thread, I know, but this popped up. From 2014:
Rolling Stones Attendance Record Broken
Even if you loathe and detest country music (like me), you have to respect the legends. Saturday night in Dallas, the venerable George Strait broke the North American attendance record for an indoor concert that the Rolling Stones had held for over 30 years.
Back in 1981, the Stones played to an audience of over 87,000 at the Superdome in New Orleans. No indoor concert had drawn that many people until 104,000 people packed into AT+T Stadium in Dallas for what was billed as George Strait’s final concert.

Based on Chet Flippo's book The Rolling Stones have only been in New Orleans, at that time, 2 times - 1978 and 1981. I know they went there in 1989 and 1994.
That's it, right?
They peaked in 1981 attendance wise. They'll never come back.

Wasn't the New Orleans show in 1994 broadcast on the radio? I remember taping one show from the VL tour and playing along on my drums to the entire concert when I was a kid. That's pretty much how I learned how to play. I would even leave the room while the crowd was cheering for an encore. Ah, memories...
