Live show audience noise


Listening to Getz Au Go Go. I understand that when they made the recording, the audience were asked to refrain from whistling in appreciation. Unfortunately, they didn't. I find it irritating that so many recordings are spoiled by excessive whistling. Opinions?

Agree with folkfreak. I listen to 90% classical and appreciate well recorded live performances. Regarding Jazz performances, that’s the nature of the beast. Jazz enthusiasts can’t help themselves when they’re absorbed in the music; I’ve been to jazz clubs and that’s just the way it is, even when it’s announced that the show is being recorded.

At a classical performance, there is proper etiquette that some jerks don't follow. And it bugs the hell out of me.
