There are two types of "singers". The ones that instinctively know when it's appropriate and those that don't. As mr. Tweedy references in the clip, some songs are indeed "sing alongs", others have moments in them when the crowd just knows that a certain line is theirs to emphasize along with the artist. -these types of concert goers are wonderful to be around as they "get" that you are one as an audience participating with the artist(s). The annoying ones are the people that feel the need to prove to everyone within ear shot that they know every lyric. -dude, we don't care.

That being said, I do like to quietly sing harmonies under my breath at some shows. -I make sure it's only a head voice though, promise. I'm going to see Wilco soon and I can't wait.
