If ties are allowed, the Wings Over America tour in Atlanta in 1976 would be a tie with the Doors, basically because, to my undying regret, I never got to see the Beatles. My parents didn't want to take me to see them at Suffolk Downs in 1966 and said I was too young for them to just drop me off and pick me up there. But yet *one year later* in 1967, at the ripe old age of 11, they decided I was old enough to see the Monkees!

Elvis Presley, Sioux City Auditorium, 1956
Neil Diamond, Milwaukee, WI, 1992
