Elton John concert attendance high, but can't quite top KISS, Dylan

When it comes to Duluth concert records, “Beth” trumps “Rocket Man.”

Elton John’s concert at Amsoil Arena on May 6 drew 7,638 fans — the first major sold-out concert for the venue that opened at the end of 2010, according to Duluth Entertainment Convention Center officials.

There have been slightly bigger shows at the old DECC Arena. KISS drew 8,114 in 1977 and Bob Dylan pulled similar attendance numbers with his show in the DECC Arena in 1998. Those shows were general admission, while Elton John’s show had chairs on the main level of the arena, which eats up more space.
