    The concert was free, and was the first allowed in the collapsing Soviet regime from an American band. It was held at an airfield which is how there was so much room. The stopped counting at 500k, there were over 1 million for sure, most estimates place it around 1.5 million. It was one of the most beautiful sentiments/expressions of freedom I've ever seen

We were going somewhere and as we were walking out the door she stopped dead in her tracks and was staring at the floor model TV in the living room. Her mouth was wide open in disbelief as we watched the people taking sledgehammers to the wall and celebrating on the evening news. She was in utter shock.

      "How many people are here?" certainly not 1.6 million 😏
      AC/DC - Back in black at Donington... and that was a 70.000 people crowd...
      Considering this is THE SAME EXACT stage, control tower distance and PA system setup... if you double the 70k crowd you get almost double the surface covered by people.
      So it can't be more than double the crowd of Donington 1991.
      SO THE ANSWER IS around 150.000 people is the crowd at this venue
      anyway way, way, way less than the kids fairytale of 1.6 million. 😏

    The concert was put on by president Mikhail Gorbachev who, unknowingly, engineered the end of the Soviet Union. He implemented the policy of "glasnost", which means "openness", that resulted in a withdrawal from the war in Afghanistan, the limitation of nuclear weapons, open talks with Ronald Reagan, and the end of the cold war, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He also instituted freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and helped Poland gain its independence from Russia. He decentralized the economy and effectively moved Russia away from communism into a new era of capitalist social democracy.
    If Russia ever had a hero, Gorbachev would be it.

      About 300 thousand spectators came and came from other cities to the concert with the participation of PANTHERA, BLACK CROSE, METALLIKA, AS / DS and our EST. This concert was guarded by 11 thousand people: police, riot police, internal troops, rifle divisions of the Soviet Army. When the first bottles fell on their heads and two soldiers were taken away by an ambulance, angry law enforcement officers began to rush at anyone they did not like, beating people with their hands, feet and clubs. The space in front of the stage literally turned into a bloody battle that did not stop from the very beginning of the concert until midnight.
      According to the ambulance station, 56 people were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, of which 16 were military personnel."

    Zero fatalities.
    In September 1991, only a month after the August Putsch failed, 1.6 million rock music fans converged in Moscow to enjoy the first open-air rock concert, as part of the Monsters of Rock series.
    British rock singer Rod Stewart proved that better than anyone else on New Year's Eve 1994/1995. His free New Year's Eve concert attracted a bit more than 3.5 million people that year, making it the biggest concert of all time.

    If you thought this was impressive - watch "Creeping Death" from the same show. You can also add Pantera "Domination" to the watch list. They played at this same show in Moscow. By far one of the best break downs in metal music.
    They were about 29 when this show went down. It was an add on show for the "Monsters of Rock" tour that was already in progress. This was a reward to the people to stop the coup during the fall of the Iron Curtain. This was the first time western music was allowed to be played. 53 people died at this show. The helicopters flew low to not only monitor the crowd and to provide wind to cool down the masses.
