On many recordings, soundboard, bootleg, etc., there's always audience
chatter, and I find it interesting as hell, especially when/where,
etc... On a 16 minute version of "Fat Old Sun" (Pink Floyd), you can
hear these two guys talking.. At one point, I hear, "Woah, something's
gonna happen" and then later on, "Oh, sorry man" (sounded like someone
bumped into another).

| On Renaissance's Song of Scheherazade DVD (which is pretty much an official bootleg), there's a funny exchange between the audience and Annie in the Capitol Theater concert.The band have just wrapped up Running Hard and she asks the crowd, "How was it?" with a lovely British lilt. Ostensibly somebody tells her she is very pretty to which she says, "You haven't seen me in the morning, have you? Good job, really." Then another asks, this time very audibly, "Will you marry me?" And she asks him, "Have you got much money?" The audience (as well as Annie) is in splits and that is the exchange. |

I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975 recently. During the intro to one song you can hear someone shout "turn the guitar up!". There's also the legendary whistle on Stairway to Heaven on Led Zep's The Song Remains The Same which was sadly removed from the latest version.

My favorite on an "official" live album (though not prog) is the Stones Get Your Ya-Ya's Out. Just before they begin Sympathy for the Devil this woman can be clearly heard saying, "Paint it black. Paint it black. Paint it black you devil"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSjT1JBLnN4" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSjT1JBLnN4 Also, after Siberian Khatru on Yessongs sounds like some guy says, "Alright Steven" followed clearly by a "LOUDER". When it comes to a reply to the inevitable scream of "LOUDER" nothing beats Fripp's response on the 1974 King Crimson vinyl boot, "Senabular" recorded in Arlington TX, 1974. Fripp's calm reply: "We have a request from a gentleman to play louder. May I make one small suggestion to you sir? If we're not loud enough perhaps you'd care to listen more attentively"  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

There's that moment on KC's USA where someone yells "Epitaph!" and someone else says "Shut up! Lake sucks!" I don't recall for sure if he said shut up, but I know Lake sucks or Lake sucked is very audible. I remember when I first heard it I felt bad for Greg. |

Oh yeah, I remember that, except I thought she said "Who made your violin". I'm going to have to listen to it again.

Fripp had some good audience interaction on The Great Deceiver set. Someone shouted "Rodney Toady" while he was addressing the audience. So he says "No, not Rodney." You can hear his eyes rolling. |

Here are a couple Fripp jewels from my review of "The Road to Red" box set  Columbus, OH 4/28/74: "...survey of our audiences if you like us or not. [applause] Ladies & gentlemen a most generous assessment...we're having a little difficulty with our violin over here...it was built by a celebrated English violin maker from Shepherds Bush named Mr Legs Quigly...you may have heard of him...Legs plays in a very famous English rock band, Emerson, Legs, & Palmer. If you will just bear with us for a moment we will do what we can to improve the flaccid tone and wavering intonation of our violin player." El Paso, TX 6/8/74 "good evening...madam, you would like me to adopt what is termed in the trade as 'doing the big willie' for you madam? Certainly, here I go. Are you ready for this young lads? This is part of the drive to commercialism, this is an appeal. Ladies and Gentlemen, please buy our records. Please. May I on behalf of the band initiate a campaign that I'm sure will capture the hearts of millions, ladies & gentlemen make King Crimson a top 10 band!" ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

During one of the pauses at the end of Bastille Day from Rush's All The World's A Stage, you can hear Mike Meyer's brother yelling "Nighthawk!", the name of his band. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |

Hi, Tough discussion ... really tough, and it is one of the things that you hear a complaint about ... for example, TD's book complaints about a lot of European audiences that sit there dead and quiet until the end, and their concentration on listening often makes an artist uncomfortable. In America, if you don't have one idiot screaming "rock'n'roll" in the middle of a Return to Forever, or Miles Davis concert, you know right away, that you must have gone to see the wrong band! I do have an issue with some folks taking this to an extreme, like Keith Jarrett getting upset with people coughing and even leaving the stage for it. But there is a comment there that I think Keith is missing, and more than likely, this is not the audience he wishes he had, or would like to play to ... he does not want to be dictated as to what he plays, and this is a problem with American audiences that are so top ten and format and hit oriented, that they can not listen past a few minutes of a longer, experimental piece, and these days, the number of experimental artists on the concert scenes, is ridiculously low ... and you can't tell me there is no audience for them ... places like this, even, have a tendency to not appreciate many of thosse kinds of work, and spend their time saying things like ... it is wasteful music and filler ... too many times, and not spend more time flying and tripping with the music itself. The majority of the chatter in the PF albums I ever heard, started with DSOTM, and not so much in the early days ... and to me, this says that folks were enjoying the trips a lot more than later when the crowds got bigger ... but it was not like PF did not already have sound effects in between their pieces, and this did not seem out of place as it did later. LZ bootlegs had a lot of audience comments and bits, and mostly they told you that something happened on stage that you can't see, or know about ... but on occasion, you get the Syd Barrett like comment completely out of context ... well, of course, we can't count Roger swearing and getting upset at fans at Anaheim Stadium. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
