Info OES tour as a reply to Pottels post;

Thanks to computers it was estimated that Dire Straits played to an audience of 3.544.839 people during the On every street tour ; UK 447.630, Europe 2.385.865, Australasia 259.049 and USA & Canada 452.295 (source: D.S.I.S. newsletter from June 1993).
I remember reading that OES tour sold more than 7 million tickets, i think it was on  wikipedia.

That 7m includes corporate gigs for Deutsche Bank, Volkswagen etc...  ;)
Oh, thanks, but still twice as much as the stated 3,5 million.

Just joking.

1332 songs played! And you guys were complaining of a static setlist!

It should say 16 sons played to death, some very ocasionally!
You might get lucky, now and then
