No, they should make those people have to listen to their incessant
blather on subsequent audience recordings of the gig (and have them
reflect on the fact that "gee, this would be a great sounding recording
were it not for that pratt whittling on in the left channel all the
time..."). ;-)

But I *am* all in favour of the ice cream during the set breaks!
(Reminds me of the Gaumont and ABC cinemas when I was a kid, where the
attendant used to come to the front with the little lighted tray of choc
ices et al for sale between features.)

Cheers,
