Peoples favourite concert and looking for some live facts

what is prince's longest running concert, Ive just started listening to Return to Zenith and that seems to already be clocking up a fair amount of time, but I'm curious as to what the longest lasting concert actually is?

And his largest and smallest venues to've played WITH THE EXCLUSION OF THE SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCE

he played dolphin statium before XLI, in 1985 to close the purple rain tour, I imagine the numbers were relatively similar in terms of who was inside the statium

The back room at the Rio in Vegas (where the 3121 aftershows were held) is probably the smallest venue (other than his own living room). It only held around 50 people.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

We were there the Friday night after the Super Bowl. My sweetie and I were seated just to his right - about five feet away from his guitar pedals. Close enough to pick his pocket or pinch his ass.

http://www.prince-live.co...index.html This is quite a useful source of concert info, it not only gives you a list of gigs, but also 'statistiks', ammount of songs played at gigs etc etc.
All the Prince gigs i have been to have been in the usual large size venue and ran to the usual 2-2.30min.

Smallest Venue - The smallest crowd I have ever witnessed was Mayte's 21st birthday party at Paisley Park in the atrium. Only about 30-50 people.

Longest Running - The Paisley Park show last October has to be in the running at 3 hours.

Largest Venue - ? - Rock In Rio 1991, 60,000
Minneapolis Metrodome - The International Special Olympics All-Star Gala, 64,000

Plenty of in depth information there regarding live performances.
