The Grateful Dead at JFK Stadium in 1989 via YouTubeBest known as the half-oval that in 1985, South Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium was something of a nerve center for rock in Philly during the 60s, 70s and 80s – hosting performances that range from Judy Garland’s final show in 1968 to The Rolling Stones in 1978 (headcount: 100,000 people in attendance), Blondie in 1982, and U2 in 1987 for The Joshua Tree tour (headcount: 86,000 in attendance).Suffice it to say, this place was massive, though by the end of the 80s had outlived its useful existence and was shuttered.
