Slippery - 190
NJ - 232
Faith - 190
These Days/Crossroad - 126
Crush/OWN - 100
Bounce - 84
HAND - 89

That only equals 1,011. There's another 1,500 shows that have to be made up between 84-86, oneoffs, etc.

My thought is, the northeast of the US which is one of the biggest US markets for them only drew about 10,000 a night. How did the rest of the US draw? If you take away those 40 some odd shows, to hit 6 million, you'd have to be about 70,000 people a night overseas. That seems very high.

Then again, it's certainly not impossible. Maybe These Days was thei biggest Tour attendance wise. I just can't imagine only 3 million for the New Jersey Tour. That's only an average of about 13,000 per night. That doesn't seem right.
