Excellent response.

I'm not advocating a rating system based on crowd response. I've had a few inward chuckles when I've heard a crowd ignore the beginning of a song because they didn't recognize it until they abruptly cheer loudly at the first chorus.

I also recognize that peoples opinions vary according to their connection to a given show. Its special to relive that moment you saw live.

It seems rude to smack down today's show because it doesn't connect they way yesterdays (yesteryears?) show did. I don't really see how anyone benefits when a shows review consists of listing the better versions from other times. That information is available in the song notes section.

On the other hand, I do think it is relevant if the crowd is responding in an unusually excited, or subdued manner.
