He was right.

| | | | Around 900-1000 people at a large multiple church conference about a year ago would be my largest audience. |

That was when I was playing in a cover band and we were hired to play in some party at a University here in Caracas.... I still remember that day ....

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Nebraska | | | my school band performed at a huge concert hall here, i have no idea how many people, it was huge. there were like 40 school bands from all over. so im guessing at least a 1000.
my personal band has only played for small groups of maybe 100-200people. i have a gig sometime this fall that will hopefully get more than that. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2000 Location: Central Illinois | | | The largest crowd I have played in front of was about 4000 people, but I wasn't playing bass. I was playing trombone in the horn section for the 4Tops ans temptations on Motowns 25th anniversary tour. (1 night gig). My old band that I played bass in had several opening act gigs that played in front of crowds between 1000 and 3000 people

The largest crowd was probably ChicagoFest (when it was around), to about 2500-3000 people. Really great feeling. For the most part, we were putting about 800-900 people a night into the bars.
Nowadays, it's more like 50 people, but the playing is still fun!

| | | | Im guess around 300 or 400, maybe even 500. The choir teacher at my schools had me play bass for 2 plays, both times the place we played at was pretty full, one of the plays was sold out. And then at our Tri-School band thing there was a lot of people. |

it were medium-size shows, so i'd say about 250 / 300 people.. |
