It's only an issue with the quieter numbers for me. In the case of Intension, it was clear that 90% had no idea what it was (maybe thinking
it was a taped interlude) and were just plain not interested.

I've been to some theater shows back in the day where you could hear a pin drop and all 1,200 of of us were hanging on every note.

But that was a long time ago...
