I might go see Billy Joel if he was playing at the local Irish pub and there was no cover charge.

After he hit big he did a performance at the smallish Toad's Place bar/club in New Haven, which was usually a venue for good local rock bands and not yet hit it big New York acts. He picked it for inclusion of a track on an album. I think there were 5,000 people who wanted to get into a place that might hold 1,000 standing.
