I'd actually gotten a ticket via a radio DJ I knew (CFNY, but it wasn't the 80's reference it became back then), but I was underaged (15), and had problems getting in; so I called my buddy and he made a deal with the place... Given the really poor attendance showing, they let me in and made sure I didn't drink any alcohol and had to get hell out as soon as the show was over . Odd thing is that I met about 50 "hipsters" who claimed they were at that show in the following decade.
As for The Isabella, Isabella Street was my first landing point in 73 in one of those high-rise ap't building before moving to the Mississauga boondocks.
I could've mentioned Rush at my high school, but most of these bands toured the Hogtown area's high schools on Friday evenings, when not touring bars, including Goddo, FM, Webster, and later Rough trade, Diodes, Santers, Coney Hatch, etc...
The only one I don't remember playing high schools was Triumph.
Yup, looks that way, doesn't it
What was this Petit Wazoo, Mo?? anything Zappa related??

Should we have a smallest audience thread? I saw Harmony in Diversity (with Pete Banks). There were three of them and the audience was two, me and someone else.

There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Not even the smallest show I attended , because that would be Steamboat Switzerland in Verviers (Belgium) in the early 00's , where seven people were "watching" and 4 of them (bartender, doorman, sound/lightman/owner and the ticket/vestiary woman) were working for the place. In other words, there were as much people (3) on stage as in the audience
BTW, as Ian mentions, we had a thread two months ago about biggest and smallest gigs we've seen.
If I mention The Police gig instead of SB Switz, it's because it was strikingly amusing that this reggae band (Roxanne and Can't Stand Losing You were the only two songs I'd heard at the time of the concert), and I (no-one really) had no idea how huge they would become.... Turns out they were quite punky too, but on a whole different level than our local punks of Viletones and Diodes.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Thanks!

Did you live in Germany in the 70s, Alucard?
I wouldn't consider Chris De Burgh obscure.
Dreadful would be more accurate.

Saw Chris as the warm up for Supertramp at a high school auditorium just before Crime was released
The Kennedy Center had many rock concerts there over the years. Also saw Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, David Sylvian, and I know King Crimson played their on the Lark's tour. I did not go , but heard they were very loud...
I grew up in Düsseldorf.

According to my taste and concert experience THIS concert was obscure and I had already seen De Burgh as solo support act for Yes.
