S/D things audience members yell during live albums

inspired by the woman at the end of "The Shah Sleeps In Lee Harvey's Grave" by the Butthole Surfers on Live PCPEP, who responds to Gibby's pleading series of "shut up"s with a hearty scream of "SHUT THE FUCK UP".

see also that live Sonic Youth track with Shakey Mo

what else?

judas

most dated goes to:
"Joni, you have more class than Richard Nixon, Mick Jagger, and Gomer Pyle combined!"
on Miles of Aisles (naturally everyone including JM cracks up, it's 1974 after all!)

GO ON SPACEMEN 3 PLAY AGAIN!!!!

Lou Reed "Take No Prisoners" to thread

"Freeport!!!!!!!!!!"

This reminds me..

On loads (OK, two) of New York Live recordings, there seems to be the same audience member bellow.

1) "Sid Sings" LP, "Stepping stone" someone goes "WOOO OHHHHHH"
2) Television "Little Johnny Jewel" off the 12" single, the live version, the same voice throughout.

I know they were recorded years apart, but...

Orbital, Satan Live:

"Bring on the fuckin' Bon Jovi!"

I have an old tape of a Mogwai live gig that was broadcast on Radio 1, where just after someone shouts for "Like Herod!" someone else counters with a shout for "Hey Jude!". Always made me chuckle.

Right at the end of "Lou Reed Live" someone (allegedly Lester Bangs but probably not) shouts "Lou Reed sucks!"

Bowie's "Santa Monica '73", right after "Waiting For The Man", someone yells "Hey where's Lou Reed?"

"Hey Lou!"
"What? Surprised you huh?...Whadda you think this is, question and answer?"

"... I need a boyfriend."
"Need a what? Need a what?"
"A boyfriend, can't you fucking hear, what's wrong with you?"
"Need a what?"

on the stones' get yer ya-yas out, before 'sympathy for the devil', a girl heard in the left speaker calls out "Paint It Black! Paint It Black! Paint It Black, you assholes!". the weird thing is that same voice yelling for the same song with the same brusqueness is mixed into the crowd noise on the stones' 1991 live album, Flashpoint. i haven't heard the latter record since i was a callow 16 year old so i can't tell you where the moment occurs, but i remember being freaked out by it back then.

Not a live album, but on the live track, "Night of the Living Rednecks" by the Dead Kennedys, someone yells "Fred Meyers!" after Jello mentions the name of the store.

On MODERN LOVERS 'LIVE', someone (at the Hammersmith Odeon iirc) shouts out "You're wearing the same shirt". Jonathan Richman is outraged by this and insists that it's a brand new shirt.

Last Ziggy concert, at the end of "My Death" where Bowie sings "and in front of that door there is...", befroe he can say "you", someone shouts "ME!". Followed by sundry other audience members yelling "me! me! no ME!", ending with what sounds like "suck your porcupine". The really great thing is, in the concert film, the look of complete dumb surprise on Bowie's face before he manages to compose himself.

(Bootleg-only) still laugh at the kid who, during the opening explosion of (the wonderful recording of) "Cigarette in Your Bed" at the Manchester Apollo last year, goes, "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE GONNA PLAY THIS!!" with an unmistakable air of "Everyone else seems to be going mad, I suppose I should pretend to have heard this before!"

"Hey FUCK YOU, man!"

Zealously shouted by someone (legend has it: Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum) as the Minneapolis police close an impromptu performance by the Replacements, featuring at the beginning of the Stink e.p.

I always thought it was Paint It Black, you DEVILS...

i've posted about this before, but on morrissey's "disappointed (live)" the guy that grabs the mike at the end and goes MORRISSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

i love the guy with the most obnoxiously british accent shouting TURN THE GUITAR UP during the brooce live at hammersmith. LOVE IT.

best possible one ever though; when shellac played End Of Radio for the first time, a friend of mine who was there answered Steve's first shout of 'Is This Thing On?' with 'Yes it's fine, don't worry'. I WISH i had a recording of this :-(

the clash's live from here to eternity, a guy yells 'there ain't no asylum here' along with the song and joe responds 'sing in tune ya bastard'

also 'dirty old sod' from a quick one while he's away on live at leeds, unless that's not an audience member?

as the Minneapolis police close an impromptu performance by the Replacements

I always liked that cop voice, something very 'hey, what you gonna do' about it.

Always thought that 'mats intro sounded a little too convenient and well recorded to be genuine...

'dirty old sod'

Isn't it Moon who says that?

Big Black "Sound of Impact":

Audience member: I can't breathe!
Albini: You should feel lucky - there are people who can't see. Asshole!

on the stones' get yer ya-yas out, before 'sympathy for the devil', a girl heard in the left speaker calls out "Paint It Black! Paint It Black! Paint It Black, you assholes!".

There's a great moment on the legendary bootleg LIVEr Than You'll Ever Be! (recorded on the same tour) where Jagger says something along the lines of "Enough of the bullshit" and some guy standing near the person making the tape remarks to a friend, "You heard that, he said "bullshit!'"

Dude in Helsinki: Whipping Post!
Frank Zappa:...say that again please?
Dude: Whipping POST!
FZ: Whipping Post? Okay, just a second....
(band mutters)
FZ: Oh sorry, we don't know that one, anything else? Hum me a few bars of it...please...just show me how it goes, please. Just SING me Whipping Post, and maybe we'll play it with you.
Dude: Whoo-ooo-ooo --
FZ: Thank you very much. And now...
(laughter, applause)
FZ: Judging from the way you sang that, it must be a John Cage composition.

(I've decided for no good reason that this must be Tuomas' father out in the audience.)

see also that live Sonic Youth track with Shakey Mo

What's this?

Seek out the Dirty Boots EP for the introduction to the song "The Bedroom"...

come on, spell it out for us

I'd almost rather let Shakey Mo tell it himself! (He's talked about it on here before.)

>:-|

Oh fine. The key exchange:

THURSTON (slurrily): "...what do you do when you find out your mom's a skinhead?"

SHAKEY MO (from the audience): "You FUCK HER!"

THURSTON (even more slurrily): "...you write a song about her."

At some point on 'White Noise Live' by Gary Numan you can hear someone shouting "Get your jack boots on Russell" or words to that effect.

And then there's the moment of extreme bathos during the Joy Division 'Preston Warehouse' gig when you can hear someone shouting about the last coach to Wigan.

xp that was my first thought but I thought I should ask

Shakey you had me snickering in my, uh, bedroom about 14 years ago and for that I got <3 4u

I think that track is on the Goo reissue's second CD, fuck knows where Dirty Boots EP is

Aw I can't find the Goo reissue either :(

Actually pretty sure those live tracks didn't end up on the reissue but if I'm wrong I'm wrong. Thought the version of "The Bedroom" on there was studio.

^is the right answer, dang. In the epic 60-second quest for this info I did however find out that the girl on the cover of Goo is supposed to be Myra Hindley's sister. THE MORE YOU KNOW

that sonic youth live track is here =
(SPOTIFY LINK) spotify:track:65Ws8Sm4MAfr9jZ4btMpfp

and yep its on the GOO reissue.

this thread is GOLD can you believe this has never been done before? what a great idea.

thanks!

see also Alternative TV's "Alternatives", where Mark Perry hands the mic over to the audience and much chaos ensues. lots of yelling both on and off stage.

and of course:

Van Zant: "what song is it you wanna hear?"
audience: "FREE BIRD!!!"

I know there's more...

On Mark Eitzel's "Songs of Love Live", there's a guy who repeatedly requests the song "Animal Pen" inbetween several of the songs. Basically: "Animal Pen! Animal Pen! Animal Pen!".

Since Animal Pen is one of Eitzel's (or American Music Club's) weakest songs, I can't help but think he's taking the piss. Which is unfair on sensitive ol' Mark.

is the alternative tv track the one where he says something like 'Stand up or sit down by SHUT UP! This is a rock concert not a fucking tea party!'

or is that from something completely different?

* 'but SHUT UP!'

i mean.

I was really high at a party in college and had never heart the Stink EP before. Someone put it on and me and a friend were convinced that the cops were actually there and we were all going to go to jail.

xp no, that must be something different, the track I mentioned is from the LP The Image Has Cracked.

hmmmmmmmm it must be another band. going to irritate me if i can't work out who. some part of my brain is suggesting The Who but that can't be right.

maureen hindley and her husband:

http://modcult.org/mc/image/path/691/thumb/goo.jpg

Maureen?

Myra's sister. On the right, her husband (Smith) who was a witness to the last murder and called the police.

A further pop fact for those interested. Morrissey was reading a book on The Moors murderers featuring that very same photograph of "The Smiths on their way to court" when he came up with the name for his group.

Boggles my mind. NEVER knew that was the origin of the cover photo (or the Smiths name, in fact).

Moz has always denied it I think but it makes complete sense.

Another link: Suffer Little Children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_smiths#The_Smiths

I like in "Stereopathetic Soul Manure" after the live version of "Putting It Down" there are some shouts for a song called "Taco Bell" and then right before it cuts off someone yells "DUST IN THE WIND!"

always enjoyed that guy who wants the pernod (Jim Carroll?) on the Velvets Maxs live album

Cool Shakey Mo story!

My step-cousin says you can hear him yell something on Rush's All The World's A Stage.

Me, I like to imagine I can hear my distinctive clapping on this Marilyn Crispell album.
http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/labels/musart/ma852.gif
It sounds like: (Clap. Clap. Clap.)

I asked for more monitor on Deep Purple's Made in Japan.

SY show was my first show ever btw... I was 17, tbf I was there with a couple other high school friends and we were all yelling, I'm not sure which one of us is most clearly audible on the recording

I ordered an absinthe on Velvet Undergrounds Live at Max's Kansas City.

liar that's Jim Carroll

Allright, would you buy that I asked for more cowbell during the recording of BOC's On Your Feet or On Your Knees?

Oh, and i met a record store guy who claims he can be heard on King Crimson's Great Deceiver. He's not the guy calling for "Hocus Pocus", alas.

an old roommate used to play this bill evans or keith jarrett record where an audience member yells what we decided was "CHRISTMAS!"

immediately afterwards the improvisation goes in a whole new direction

Oh, and i met a record store guy who claims he can be heard on King Crimson's Great Deceiver. He's not the guy calling for "Hocus Pocus", alas.

Someone told me about the inspiration for the Goo picture YEARS ago but I was never sure if it was actually true or not, I'd never seen the original picture before. UNTIL NOW.

during a slowdive concert in oslo 1992 a guy yells "i love you" at the beginning of more or less every song. after the xth time rachel goswell responds: "no you don't. you don't even know me!" was it you, geir?

i think that was more a bootleg than a real live album. does it still count?

Classic: all the people yelling at Lou Reed on Take No Prisoners

(Lou's "I'll sing when you shut up" even more classic)

I like that bit on one of the early Zappa live albums where some guy just keeps screaming incomprehensible shit and Frank says 'oooh stop, you'll really hurt yourself'.

Burnt Weeny Sandwich (xpost)

destroy? the "shouting man" at all the NYC gigs on the Suicide 1977-1878 Live Box?

Leave Alan alone! It's all about FRANKEEE!

no, not Alan ... there's an unamed "enthusiastic" guy going AYOAYOAYOYOYYOYO right into the recording mic on ALL the NYC recordings on that live box.

That guy's hilarious.

But it's a bit strange how he always seems to be stood right next to the Bronze Records dude with the dictaphone.

I think we're not being told something.

It's a relief when that tour gets to Europe . . . although he may have dissipated some tension in Belgium.

Is that the same dude as mentioned on my first post on this thread?

not familiar with the recordings you mentioned but if I get a listen I could tell ... "dude" has a pretty signature yell.

He's all over "Sid Sings"...

definitely the same guy:

HEY-OH-AY-AYO

Relevant to ILXs interests.

Ben Folds: "I was NEVER COOL in school / I'm sure you don't remember me..."
Audience member: "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

I've always liked
Les:Hi we're Primus and we suck
Bro:Yoooouuu Suuuuuuuuck!

Bro on Television bootleg: "FUUCKIN' TELEVISIOOOOON!!"

The worst ever onstage banter
Lou Reed's 1978 live album 'Take No Prisoners' is a masterclass in rambling, directionless, self-indulgent banter. After bitching randomly about Barbra Streisand, at one point he asks the crowd, "You ever put a quarter in one of those machines, man? Like, the bear that plays basketball?" Pic: PA Photos

.. is error.

Best live stage banter.

I thank you.

There must be more of these!

classic 7 inch

Has this video of Billy Joel having a tantrum been posted?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqY6mXULzpw

Keytar guy remains unphased throughout the Joel Tantrum, he was probably used to it.

we discussed this elsewhere but god knows on which thread. there were mitigating circumstances!

“Remember, this was the Soviet Union in 1987, and they’d never had a major rock concert before. There was a film crew filming a documentary, and they turned very bright lights on the audience. The audience was having a good time until they turned the lights on. They froze; they turned paranoid. There was a lot of anxiety they are we being looked at? And whenever they turned the lights on, anyone who was overreacting was being pulled out of the audience by a security guard. I wasn’t yelling at the audience was yelling at the film crew. So I threw the piano, and that got their attention. Then they stopped lighting the audience, and everybody started rocking out.”

Ty Segall's live at Aisle 5 album has someone in the audience screaming "fuck you, Tim" between every song, at one point yelling "seriously, FUCK YOU TIM!"
