The smallest audience where I've been in attendance, was at a show by Kevin Coyne in the late 90's. It was at a popular club in Cambridge, MA, on a Friday night in September and there were about a dozen people there, including four or five of the club staff who were working at the show. When we got there, there was another band that was finishing their show from the previous time slot (not an opening act) and the place was packed and probably sold out. After they finished, the club emptied out and only a small handful of people trickled in for the Kevin Coyne show. He and his band put on a fantastic set, even though there were only about 7 or 8 fans there, which made it seem all the more surreal. He came out onto the floor after the show to chat with me and a couple of friends and I mentioned that I was surprised how few people there were that showed up for the gig and he replied "as long as you enjoyed it, that's all that matters."
