My thought during Stash (my first live version) was to, instead of clapping, to do the "cheek knock" effect that Trey brought out in DwD on 7/4. If I could direct thousands of w00kies to do my bidding, I'd have us all switch to that instead of stopping the audience interaction altogether. First of all, I don't think that woodblock is there anymore with Fish's kit downsized this year; secondly the cheek sound is much more woodblock-y than clapping.

Tangentially, I was popping my cheek demonstratively while others were clapping along to "wash uffitzi" at the beginning of the vocal jam on sunday, while Trey was looking in my direction, and he popped it a couple times right after. Not saying I definitely put the idea in his head, but I hope the band is at least vaguely aware that I and others really like that sound effect.
