Small : Peter Gabriel, NYC, 2000.
Large: Eurythmics with opening act Howard Jones, 1983. Close second: U2 Joshua Tour 1987, Meadowlands.
Special: Lollapalooza 1, 1991.
Arena Rock: By this I mean huge outside concerts, like Journey in the 80s or anything at Red Rocks or Central Park, usually "corporate rock". Me - Poison, 1986. Somewhere in upstate NY - can't remember where. But it was out of control.

There's a guy down at Bob's Pump and Munch that sometimes breaks out a mean harmonica.
Rural Minnesota band shells just don't pull in big name bands.
