• Grateful Dead Set Soldier Field Attendance Record From U2 at 'Fare Thee Well'

    Everyone knew that the Grateful Dead's "Fare Thee Well" concert series at Soldier Field in Chicago was going to be a historic event, but now the record books also confirm that the shows are the most attended event in the stadium's history. Obviously Deadheads (and live music fans in general) are looking forward to tonight's grand finale, but the totals were reported Saturday from the night before, revealing that 70,764 fans had shown up for the night. Considering that every night sold out, the attendance should be similar for the following two shows as well.
