Heres an exaple
December 1979
1 Cedar Falls, IA. - UNI-Dome - 25,000 SOLD OUT
4 Los Angeles, CA - The Forum - 17,000
5 Los Angeles, CA - The Forum - 17,000
6 Los Angeles, CA - The Forum - 17,000
9 San Diego, CA - Sports Arena - 13,000
10 Los Angeles, CA - The Forum - 17,000
11 Los Angeles, CA - The Forum - 17,000
14 San Fransisco, CA - Cow Palace - 14,000
15 San Fransisco, CA - Cow Palace - 14,000
16 San Fransisco, CA - Cow Palace - 14,000

I know the Iowa show was sold out but, what about all those fourm shows? That would mean that the played infront of 85,000 people in the Los Angeles area alone! WOW, if those were all sell outs!
I always assumed that the figures on the album sleeve indicated the venue seating capacity, not the number of tickets sold.

Numerous cities along that tour sold out, but not every last one. Incidentally, the band was awarded a little honor by Billboard at the end of tour for being the year's biggest concert draw for arenas.
