The Strangest Feats in Rock: Loudest Show, Longest Tour Day & a 1,000-Person Band

Today, we're returning for round three of the Strangest Feats in Rock. And this time we're going bigger than ever before with a seriously supersized episode. Last time our big one was the only artist to sell 90 million records without ever playing a live concert It Enya!. This time, we've got even more insane records, including the band Jackyl that played 21 full concerts in just 24 hours—requiring military precision as they tore down, traveled, and set up again and again with zero room for error. Then there's the shocking story of the loudest concert ever and how Deep Purple cranked up their amps so loud that three fans hit the floor unconscious from the overwhelming sound. It was a stunt so dangerous that Guinness World Records had to retire the category forever. And then there was the largest band to ever play together. Over a thousand musicians playing simultaneously as one massive group. It’s a dream that started with a viral video plea from one man to his favorite band… And it ended up breaking world records in front of packed stadiums. And there’s plenty more where that came from. These rock records pushed music to its absolute limits. Let’s do it.
