Their ticket prices were amongst the highest and they played a lot of shows. It seems as if they played much smaller venues though compared to many/most of the other big touring artists. I think that's what gave them a slightly lower overall gross than those above them.

But Fleetwood Mac was an event. Christ they got beat by the Foo Fighters. Uggg. I thought they would be in top 3. 😓

I suppose its better for us fans- much better to see them in a mid-sized arena than a big huge stadium. It was an event- at least they got lauds of plaudits from reviewers for putting on a great show.
Out of all those on the list the only ones I'd really like to have seen are the Stones, McCartney and possibly U2. At a push maybe Madonna, Elton, Billy and Neil. I like a lot of Foo Fighters stuff but its just too samey for me- not sure I'd fancy a full concert. Ditto AC/DC. I really don't get the appeal of Ed Sheeran standing on a stage playing to 20,000 people.

Agreed. There are many artists I like, whose music I buy avidly, but only a few whose live appeal is an experience of its own, aside from the quality of their recordings.
