According to the announcer at Woodstock there was:

 "100,000 of you ****ers out there. We're a CITY, man!"

Looks like the Pope wins...

Pope JP II supposedly said mass for nearly double that number on his first trip to Poland.

Whoa. Just found a reference to him saying mass for over 2 million in 2002.
