Thanks for that excellent thoughtful resonse. The first time I saw Soundgarden there were only like 5 people there. They're not my favorite band or really my cup of tea artistically being partial to more extreme stuff but it was like you're saying about this band La Chinga. They played like they wanted to make sure that the five people at that show had a great time. Another one I saw real early on with a tiny crowd but a great attitude was Tad. 15-20 people tops. He didn't care. Mudhoney was like that. A couple others that were really good but didn't explode so much were a band from Denver called The Fluid and another band called Stickdog another was Tragic Mulatto Then there were bands that I caught with about 100-200 people in the crowd that all put on great enthusiastic shows: Nirvana, The Dwarves, Godflesh, Cop Shoot Cop, The Muffs. Hell, the first time I saw GWAR there were probably 15 people there.
