When the Stones played 6 shows at Shea Stadium in 1989, was that their record for stadium shows in a single city during a given tour? I think it is but maybe they matched that elsewhere in the world?

I believe they did 10 at the Tokyodome the next year. I think they did 6 at Wembley Stadium also that year?

Weird how for the 1998 European tour they didn't play England at all.

It was due to Tax reasons:
"The Stones have pulled the [1998] UK dates in protest at the new Labour Government's changes to the British tax laws which now impose full taxes on the foreign-earned income of any British resident who works in the UK at all during the tax year. The band claim that the UK tax change would cost them 40 per cent (some 10 million pounds) of the tour's total earnings, putting the entire European leg into financial jeopardy."

Checked Wiki and it says Springsteen did 10 shows at Giants Stadium in 2003, but there were 7 gigs initially and then 3 more later in the tour...
Count the 3 shows he did at Shea Stadium in Queens later, and that's an impressive run through NY/NJ. And that's not counting the arena shows he did in the area on that tour.

This is correct; 10 shows at Giants Stadium in July-August 03;
The 3 shows at Shea were in October.
Between the 2 he also did 3 in Philly and a couple in Hartford;
that's a total of 18 stadium shows within a 150 mile radius of NYC within a 4 month period.
