I feel sorry that they seemed to have screwed up and didn’t publicize the event. However, A true performer like Sammy Davis Jr. or Prince would have played for the 40 and brought the house down.
She would’ve been applauded for that.

Every one thought the concert was cancelled but a number of hearty showed up. I think there were no more than 30 people there and Liberace was made aware of the situation.
He calls everyone down to the front rows, laughs and talks to everyone during the concert. Even took requests - did the entire concert for the few people there.
This was when he was a huge star, too. The friend of mine who saw this concert said it was the best he’d ever been to. Had the time of his life.
Seven of us watched Jimmy Buffet play in his restaurant one afternoon in Key West. Regardless of his politics, you either love your work, or you don’t.
She could have done songs she would never have done in concert, or dangled her feet off the stage and sang with them.

A number of decades ago my brother went to an outdoor concert featuring Andy Williams in Indianapolis. When a downpour started most people left. The few that remained were invited onto the covered stage by Andy Williams. He proceeded to perform the concert without sound equipment. My brother has said it was far above any concert he has been to before or since.
Spoiled, self centered "stars" get angry when they think they have been "dissed". True entertainers enjoy sharing their gifts and love the happiness they bring others through performing.
Imagine the press Bratty would have received if she had done what Andy Williams did.
