    St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - It's been called one of the best concerts in decades and it comes to St. Louis Sunday night.

    Heidi Glaus was live from Busch this morning with some interesting facts about the show.

    The stage has a set a record using a four-legged supporting rig nicknamed the claw. It set a record for being the biggest concert stage structure.

    Each leg of the claw stands 164 feet tall and contains its own sound system.

    At 7 a.m. Friday, about 30 percent of the stage was in place, but as Cardinals spokeswoman Vicki Bryant explained, they had only unloaded 50 trucks of staging equipment and there are 50 more to unload.

    Every date of the tour was sold out by April. However, they're releasing about 100 tickets Friday morning. To learn more about those tickets check out the related link.
