Topic: The largest collection of Bonametals in one place?

So the Boname(n)tal thread got me thinking (dangerous).
It looks like #49 has joined the ranks.
What was the largest physical gathering of Bonametalists?
My guess would be either RAH or the Beacon Theater.
If you respond, I'll try to tally. There may be other shows that qualify (Des Moines?) that I'm missing, so feel free to add to the list. I suspect shows like Vienna may eventually be in the running eventually.
I'll pick shows that I've been at that are likely finalists:

Royal Albert Hall (2009)
Beacon Theater (Saturday night show)
Des Moines (May 2012)
Crossroads (2010)

RAH, DesMoines, Crossroads.

Maybe Hot August Blues (2009)?

DesMoines has to be up there - there was some serious representation from all over.

I wasn't Bonametal until last November.

I guess it should be counted as shows when you were already officially Bonametal...so definitely Des Moines for you Sandy!

A good question. I would imagine RAH or Beacon may come out on top. I think Des Moines had 6 or so, which surely couldn't be a top number.

My guess would be RAH, whether you just have to be a current Bonametal to be counted or if you had to be Bonametal at the time to be counted. I'm thinking Crossroads and Hot August Blues in second and third, not sure of the order.
