I remember seeing that on the news when it happened. the media acted all suprised that more folks didn't recognize the music, or quality of play.
I love the violin and classical music, and recognized what he was playing, but my thoughts were that it wasn't a good test. I'd bet less than 10% of those people had any idea what he was playing, and wouldn't have known who he was with a name tag! The vast majority of folks these days have no classical music appreciation, so if they didn't know the tune they wouldn't know whether it was well played or not, or care to stop and listen, including a lot of the folks at the sold out theater in Boston!
I'd bet a snappy rendition of Blair Atholl or Sleepy Maggie would have gathered a better crowd and brought in more money!
