    They played the henry fonda theater in hollywood in 2006. That place probably holds 1000 people max, and there weren't many people seated on the balcony (id say more than half of the seats were empty). The floor wasn't too packed either. Maybe 600-800 in attendance.
    how am i supposed to sign here?

    What about the benefit show they played for the nature conservatory last year on 12/1/06? It was the night before the Blaisdell Arena show in Honolulu. It was so small they didn't even have a separation between the stage and the crowd and the stage was only about 18 inches off the ground. I think that may take the cake.

    couldn't get into Easy Street. Made it to the Moore in 95 and 2 of the Showbox shows. Out of those, Easy Street is clearly the smallest venue. But, I was just at Mt Baker last week and one of the locals said they played in a bar a few years ago called the Snowline Inn (since burned down) in Glacier, WA. Anyone know anything about that? I'll find out more next time I'm at Baker.
    There also must be a bunch of small shows around Seattle (ex. played, along with Dave Matthews, for a local celeb wedding, etc.)

    so, easy street, 200 people. pearl jam was 2.5% of the people in attendance. that would've been real sweet to be at. that wins for smallest show yeah?


    I'm sure some of the Tower Records in-store performances from '91 had fewer people than that.

    Toledo VFC was in a minor league hockey arena... Just a guess but I would say less than 3,000 in attendance... Then Uncle Neil hi-jacked the show!!! Definitely the loudest concert I've ever been to.

    Glad you got tix, Mer. I'm going to Van for the 10c show and casually looking for tix for the 2d show, but really hoping for a Seattle warm-up on the 1st! We'll see.
    Say hi to Jill too. Wish I was coming down to SD.

    it was loud, to be sure.

    As a concert venue, the Sports Arena seated 6,500, and for theater concerts and stage shows, 4,400.

    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....
