I saw Gord play in Kalamazoo MI last year, and the clapping and whistling was awful...I could tell he didn't appreciate it because he started the next song regardless of the audience noise, so I ended up not hearing the beginning of most songs. Or when a song starts and its quiet, until the crowd can tell what song it is...and then feel compelled to scream when they recognize it. I saw the Stones last year and some idiot behind me was singing along to Satisfaction for the first half of Jumpin Jack Flash. Sorry, these people get on my nerves. Anyways, a record shop owner I know said he saw Gord play in Kalamazoo a ways back (probly 70s...?) and after some songs, he got so fed up that he said something like "you all aren't listening anyway" and he picked up and left! Sure glad he didn't do that when I saw him!
