I saw Prince in Wembley Stadium, July 31st 1993 - I've always believed that hold 70,000, but I'm not sure where I've heard that figure.

What about
-Essence Festival 2004

Purple Rain, Nude, and Lovesexy seem like crowd pleasers as well, like Syracuse, Dortmund, Tokyo, La Coruna....etc

" I want all 40,000 some odd fools to snap yo fingers, just like this"

Yeah, but in many cities, he played more than one night! At the staple center, he played 7 nights!... How many's gonna come see shitney that many times? Here in Detroit he had 3 sold out shows... That's at least 75-90,000 who came!

Except 10,000 of you went to 3 shows. And since when does an arena hold 30,000 people? I'm going to say closer to 60,000 for 3 shows.

Wembly Stadum - was circa 70,000
but I think the performances at Rock In Rio 2 were bigger as were possibly some of the Japan shows - Toyko Dome and what about the Miami stadium show on the PR tour in 85?

I believe the Act II Tour saw some of the largest crowds.

The 72,000 Wembley Stadium show is his largest single UK concert.

3 of the German Act II shows were held as part of the Rock Over Germany music festival and attracted an estimated 65-80,000 people each night.

I went to the Lüneburg Rock over Germany festival in 1993, part of Act II. There were supposedly 110.000 people. Great show .

Your numbers differ greatly with the person above you.

I reckon the Blenhiem Palace one (if it had taken place)would have been his biggest audience ever.

The UK and Germany shows in the early 90's I think were the biggest. He definitely filled wembley to capacity which is approx 72k. Mind you the concert was awful

I saw Prince in an audience of about 2500 and it was priceless!!!!!

I know they do...but that´s what I vaguely recall. The post above might be about the other festivals going on at the time, but from what I know and remember the audience was the biggest of all the festivals going on in Germany in 93..I only saw Lüneburg and the number I remember is 110.000 .
And what about Syracuse 85 ?? That was also quite big.

Wrong according to Essence the 1st night was a complete sell-out at the Superdome. I am told it holds 90,000.00 and he done a lot of shows at Wembley back in the 80's.
