Maybe someone just needs to talk to them about it and answer any questions/concerns they might have (ie joining the LMA doesn't mean they need an open taping policy, they can specify whatever restrictions they want on what is or is not allowed, etc).
The band they're touring with now, The Pack AD, is on the LMA and (at least used to be) open taping.

2nd thing first: He didn't outright ask the crowd to sing during Paper Moon, but he did hold the mic out to the audience for a few seconds, and at least where I was, got virtually no response.
1st thing: Admittedly, I was toward the middle of the back or the back of the middle, whichever you prefer. I was about one or two people-lengths in front of the soundboard a little towards stage-right (which gave me a great view of Raine on the balcony). I mentioned in my earlier post that the people up front may have had a different experience regarding the audience - generally the people who make their way up front are gonna be the bigger fans, but if you remember the SM shows (I know you remember the Vanderbilt one, I think we've talked about it) the entire place was feeling those shows - even the people way in the back.
Yeah, the ticketing thing stunk, and Raine even mentioned it at one point toward the end, but you know what, that actually upset me more - they acknowledged that they knew there'd been a problem, but they didn't really take any steps to remedy it... Oh well, still glad I got to see 'em, and like I said, I really liked the show. I thought it wasn't as good as the SM shows (obviously), but way better than the Bowery HIPT shows. Certainly on par with many of the other shows... But seeing a largely indifferent crowd really upset me, almost on a visceral level - especially during Birdman. Knowing how big of a fan you are, I'm happier for you than you realize that you didn't experience what I saw. Next time, I gotta make my way up front.
Edit: I think I switched the order of Birdman and All My Friends in the setlist I posted earlier - my bad.
