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?

Yeah. It's not audience noise that bugs me, it's he ear-splitting whistling. I love the live murmur in a jazz speakeasy!
A live Dead recording is ruined by it and a lovely moment between Roy Harper and Jimmy Page destroyed forever by some idiot. Etc. I was at a Melani Safka gig once and a woman beside me whistled all the time. It was ridiculous.
