it's expected to happen every now and then, but what's up with the vic show? the crowd seems to clap along with almost every song. gets kind of annoying. what gives?

    I have concluded that clapping along to any given beat or tune is basically just an outpouring of happyness and gayness.

    Man!!! I so hate the clapping out of rythm!! Sure, in big outdoor places, you can hear the clapping out of sync because of the wind, but in close places?? There are some PJ bootlegs where the clapping ruins some songs...haha

    It's good if people can stay in time. However, I cant stand it when people speed it up. And I'm not a fan for some of the quieter songs. Kinda ruins it. Like, "of the girl". Just let Matt and Jeff keep time.

    I hate that double-time clapping that has ruined many a live version of Small Town. Think I caught a bit of it during the Lolla webcast?

    "You know how I know you're gay?"

    A. You listen to Coldplay

    B. You clap along at concerts.


    I hate the clapping, especially during slow songs when the clapping stands out more and you can hear all the jackasses clapping off beat.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    i'm convinced this is why pearl jam released so many soundboards over the years


    just so you couldn't hear all the damn clapping on the audience recordings






    joking, but i am personally not a fan of the clapping with songs

    I enjoy clapping my ass off to "Black"

    ...and I do the double-clap during footsteps

    hey, it just puts me in a good mood

    LOL! :D

    Doctors really do need to come up with something for this clap. During Gorge '06 it seemed the band was encouraging the crowd to clap along every other song. I was like fuckin' stop it! I can't keep time and it's takes a lot of energy to clap in that kind of heat. :rolleyes:
