Please note:
 Amusement Business figures used where available.
 The free concerts in Hyde Park and Altamont in 1969 beat
  all of the above. Nobody counted the visitors, but there were
  at least 300,000 in Livermore and at least 250,000 in London.
 The 4 LA dates in 1989 (listed above) had a total of 360,069
  people paying. This means that at least on one concert there were
  more than 90,017, which I have used here as average.
 For same reasons, the two Paris concerts in 1995 had a total of
  160,605.
 Some of the figures above are estimated.

I have attendance figures for most of the concerts 1978-99 (and for some before 1978) (and for all dates on the Steel Wheels tour).

E-mail me if you are interested in figures for other particular days.

Be prepared to wait a long time for the answer.
