I went to a Linda Ronstadt concert in Hobart many years ago. I think it was 1979. It was in the City Hall, which would hold a couple of thousand people, but they must have stuffed up with their marketing because there was only about 100 people in the venue. She looked out at the empty hall and said "Where is everybody? Next time tell your friends" and then went on with the gig. We were all crowded around the stage (in the mosh pit?). She must have felt a bit odd performing to such a small group in a pretty much empty venue so she came down off the stage and got amongst the punters for a few songs. Everyone was well behaved and respectful. She spoke to a few people and shook their hands - not me unfortunately. It was quite an intimate little gathering, more like a private party than a concert.
