One of the best shows I've ever seen, musically speaking, was an Elliot Sharpe show that had (literally) about 10 people in attendance.
There were a lot of things that contributed to the problem. The club did a horrible job promoting the show, Elliot Sharpe isn't that well-known period, much less in Tucson where this show took place, and it was a June show in a town with a scene that slows down quite a bit when the out-of-state college students head home for the summer.
Sharpe and his band didn't let it get to them, though; they just walked out on stage and absolutely
ripped. Tons of energy, tons of passion. They treated it like an opportunity to really cut loose, and those few of us in attendance were treated to a great, great set.
