“I never thought I’d need so many people”
David Bowie’s concert at Auckland’s enormous Western Springs (a speedway stadium) took place on this day in 1983.
The officially recorded attendance of 74,480 was the largest audience ever for an Australasian concert. The show was also believed to be the biggest single crowd gathering in the history of New Zealand.
The gig was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest crowd gathering per head of population anywhere in the world.
As with all Australasian-related Bowie things, BowieDownUnder.com is the place to read more about this incredible event.
