what's the smallest paid crowd concert you've been at? not talking the lucky few who get to go to the PP parties...talking about an announced tour or gig..tickets available to everyone...mine would be the legendary one nite gig in DC at this club called Nations...1500 hot sweaty peeps, in this teeny weeny ass club. 1997 or 1998, can't remember which...in support of NPS, but before the full tour with Larry and Chaka as opening acts. you look better on your facebook page than you do in person  | |

that was the fucking business! Maybe 20 - 30 tops in my city!! 
So few we sat in the ORCHESTRA PIT!!! Without exaggerating in the least, Prince was about five feet in front of me throughout the bulk of the concert (I was in center with his mike), unless he was on his keyboard or he walked behind us on the little wall between the pit and the rest of the crowd. Wowza. Amazing. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith.

Oh.. The Key Club (now I think it's called Billboard Live) on Sunset Blvd. I think it was summer of 98 -- maybe July? 600 people, lots of star mingling, the band signed autographs behind the club afterward...just an amazing amazing night. | |

ONA soundcheck at Warner Theater in DC, second row, I think the first night. P sat down right in front of us and checked out the PA levels. There were maybe 50 people. | |
