I don't know, it definitly looks more than what I could see, but not that many. Whatevvv, I hope there were 5,000 there.

Crowds can be pretty deceptive. A crowd of 1000 is fairly small as tightly packed as that one is. It would only be a block 32 people on a side. That crowd is significantly larger than that.
A crowd of 4000 is only a block 63 people on a side. If you watch the video, the crowd looks over 30 people deep in every direction as the guy pans. That's about 3000 right there. Assuming people fill in the corners of a rectangular area, and you've got your ~4000.
Not that the exact numbers matter. I just think that 1000 is definitely a significant underestimate, by a factor of a few.
