Get This Show On the Road Trivia Quiz

Answer: U2

Touring extensively since their inception, U2 hit the big time with "The Joshua Tree" and the corresponding tour. That tour established them as a concert act you "had to see". Since then, their tours have been major events, with four of them being viewed by 3.5 million people or more.

Their live video for the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" filmed at Red Rocks in the pouring rain showed that no matter the circumstances they will leave it all out on the stage.

Answer: The Rolling Stones

With over forty years using mostly the same band lineup, the Rolling Stones' top four tours alone were attended by 20 million people. Beginning in 1964, their incredible longevity has enabled a huge number of fans to view them at some point in the their musical history.

Answer: AC/DC

AC/DC has now been in the Brian Johnson era for three decades since the passing of original lead singer Bon Scott. Quietly their 1980 album "Back in Black" has been selling copy after copy to achieve the honor of being the highest selling album in history by a band. The "Black Ice" World Tour broke the five million attendance mark, something only achieved by three acts before 2010.

Answer: Madonna

Madonna has been known for provocative tours since she stormed on the scene in 1984. Previous tours such as the "Girlie Show Tour" and the "Confessions Tour" have always been successful, but the magnitude of "Sticky and Sweet" brought her to a new level. The tour averaged more than 41,000 tickets sold per show.

Answer: The Police

Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland would reunite for a performance during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the performance created so much energy that an impending reunion and tour was unavoidable. With no supporting album and nothing but reputation to go from, they still brought in over three million fans.

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

The Boss is aptly nicknamed when it comes to the individual concert. Springsteen's stamina for concert length became public knowledge during his "Born in the USA" tour, where he would go regularly for three hours a show. That tour's 156 shows, adjusting for inflation, would still be listed in lists measuring highest grossing concert tours.

Answer: Cher

Cher's Farewell tour was an exercise in stamina. Her entry into the top 25 concert tours put her ahead of every other tour on the list in number of concerts by over 100. The tour involved an elaborate stage act with acrobatics a la Cirque de Soleil, and included a throwback to past decades with opening acts such as Cyndi Lauper, KC and the Sunshine Band and the Village People.

Answer: The Eagles

The Eagles have had a long history of not getting along, but they deep down understand that the sum of the band The Eagles is greater than their parts, and with that, they have reunited several times to appease the fans, and their wallets. Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit have had success outside of the Eagles, but collectively they achieved Hall of Fame status in 1998.

Answer: Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd concerts in their later years became visual spectacles that had to be seen to respect the magnitude of the setup of the show. Pink Floyd would get together for one last time in 2005 for Bob Geldof's mega concert "Live 8". The members of the band have stated that would be the last time they would perform together, and as years continually pass, those statements are proving to be more and more prophetic.

Answer: Celine Dion

Celine Dion had three different shows in one tour, altering them depending on her location and venue and how much French was spoken in the country in which she was performing. She performed in front of three million fans during this tour alone.

Answer: Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi have continued to have a huge fan base through maintaining the fans they gained from the 1980s success, and getting younger fans in their re-inventions of themselves in the later years. Bon Jovi, like fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen, has a great reputation of putting on an excellent show.

Answer: Pink

Pink, formerly Alecia Moore, has proven to be an artist who walks the walk, never shying away from self deprecation in her lyrics to prove no one is beyond reproach when it comes to poor behavior. Even when releasing a greatest hits album in 2010, the two previously unreleased bonus tracks on it, both of them songs that could be cornerstones for new albums ("Raise Your Glass" and "Perfect",) have soared to the top of the charts. That proves that she understands the public's disdain of putting poor, discardable songs on a "Best Of" album just to encourage fans who own all the songs already to still purchase the album. No one is sure why Australia is such a big fan of Pink, but they seem to love anything she does in her career.

Answer: Lady Gaga

Gaga has truly exploded onto the music scene with "The Fame" in 2008, then her second album, "The Fame Monster" in 2009. The "Monster Ball" tour was described by Lady Gaga as the first "electro-pop opera", and did not disappoint her fans.

Answer: Metallica

Metallica's "World Magnetic" tour pulled in over 200 million over its 187 shows. With nine studio albums to choose from for the tour, they had plenty to play for the die-hard Metallica fans that permeate all over the globe.

Answer: Britney Spears

Britney Spears was on a career spiral downward before releasing the "Circus" album, and fans began to embrace her again. She teamed up with the opening act The Pussycat Dolls for the duration of the tour. It grossed just over 130 million and had an estimated 1.5 million in tickets sold.
