I was only at the 12/29 show (my first ever show in fact) so I can't comment on the other shows on this list (well at least not yet...), but I do want to weigh in on the whole "woo" debate in Carini. I feel that the severity of it is blown out of proportion. Yes, the jam could have went on a little bit longer and probably could have done without it, but I feel that the "woos" didn't kill the vibe at all and, in this context, added to it in a way. It just showed how into it the crowd was as a whole and, I feel, reinforces the idea that the crowd plays just as important of a role in the creation of the vibe and the music as those four men on stage. In fact, the way the band ended with the whole start/stop thing makes it seem like they were feeling it as well and were even encouraging the fans to do it a few times. Others may disagree, but I just wanted to add a different perspective on the whole issue.

I've never been bothered by woos. I think it lets the audience be a part of a song and performance in a way very few artists an their fans can relate...and the band really seems to enjoy, most of the time.
And I love the clapping in Stash. I actually think it's an integral part to the song. I get why people don't like either, but I've almost never been let down by audience participations at their shows...except maybe the glow sticks, which can actually physically affect someone's moment....especially if it happens when they're peaking.
