Saw the Allman Bros band in the New Orleans Superdome in August of 1975. First weekend events were ever held there. Crowd of 100,000 (Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and others also played.)

For all the hype about Woodstock in 1969, the Allman Brothers were one of three bands (along with The Band and the Grateful Dead) at an even bigger event four years later. The Summer Jam at Watkins Glen in 1973 attracted what is still considered the largest crowd ever at a music festival, with an estimated 600,000 fans on hand for the one-day event.

I was at that concert as well. Worst sound... ever. Being the 1st concert in the superdome they had not quite figured it out.
