I am usually so blissed out at Furthur that i can't help but sing along, and i LOVE it. Now for the chatter during shows.... I HATE that, particularly when someone is trying to talk to me during a song... At least it is usually little comments about how great the band is during a lull in the music and not whole conversations

I love it the grateful dead sing alongs at teh shows . (once again )listens ot the atlanta fox show . pleanty of singing a long and I love it . Makes me feel part of the DeadHead Fellowship , a part of the family !! BY Golly !! But I dont care for the chatter at times in slow quite places , though where i was at teh Fox i didnt hear to much , then agian the show was action packed . But i have been to other shows where the chatter was insane and annoying

I get great joy out of sing alongs though and i encourage it . I know some will certainly disagress with me on this one .. have at it .

I love doing the "Whooohoo" in St. Stephen....love singing all of Scarlet with the band...I don't even attempt Morning dew... I'm lost in Blues for Allah....but I damn sure will jump right into singing Box of Rain at encore...

I can deal with sing alongs where it's right, like , U.S. Blues or the "Don't Murder Me" part in Dire Wolf.
But I don't blame people for being angry when people sing , clap and get rowdy during something like Stella Blue, Looks Like Rain or Morning Dew.
There's a right time and place for things.
The sound man could help by turnin' it up !!
