Guess who beat the 1977 Record for most attended US concert in history?

Guess in the comments, the answer behind the cut.

The record for the biggest single ticketed concert in U.S. history was set in 1977 by the Grateful Dead and was topped on Saturday by...

George Strait in Kyle Field this past weekend? He's the reason my mom couldn't get a hotel room when she went to go visit her brother who was in the hospital.

But happy for the Poteet, Tx native.

Good for him! My mom would have loved to be there! I just legit went to a Styx and Journey coverboard concert and there were so many people. I'm in the midwest and the nice weather brings people out in DROVES, everyone is excited to be in the sun. I think people are just hungry for cheap fun, the tickets were like idk $15 per person, $2 drinks, food trucks and like 1500 white people in folding lawn chairs not dancing or singing for the most part.

I'll be going to see Tim McGraw with my mom soon and I assume it'll be packed. Hell I just saw Jackson Browne with my mom and there was so many people I was getting overwhelmed inside

hmmmm....maybe I just don't like large crowds

Those are some good concerts you are getting to see!

my parents LOVE live music so they're always seeing shows. My mom basically followed the Eagles and Jackson Browne around when she was young I think she's seen the Eagles like 10 times and Jackson way more than that and my dad was born in 1960 so he used to see EVERYONE. I'm most jealous that he saw Talking Heads during the Stop Making Sense era!

I can honestly say I’ve never heard a song of his. I know who he is but I stay blessed.

She has a country background. Idk why she doesn't just make him her new bf and they can do an album together.

I grew up listening to George Strait. He’s one of my dad’s favourite artists. Carrying Your Love With Me or Check Yes or No are probably my favourites of his.

And this tour has Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town as opening acts. It’s basically a travelling country music festival. I wish I could go.

Check Yes Or No is such a great song!

The Pure Country soundtrack is everything to me. I was dating someone, we saw the movie together, yadadadadada, so Cross My Heart was my swoonie song, lol

Check Yes or No still holds a special place in my heart.
