I'm sitting here watching Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas TV show. He started the show by saying to the studio audience "you might be so moved by one of these Christmas classics that we're going to do, that you all actually start singing along with us here on the stage. But don't do that. Because if you do, the mikes will pick up your voices and you'll screw everything up."

That's sort of what has happened to Landslide. In earlier times, you could barely hear a pin drop from the audience; it was a dramatic moment, where everyone was silently focused on Stevie, paying reverence the song and the intense emotion being channeled. But now it's just become an audience participation sing along and sounds like a karaoke performance. I could barely hear Stevie over thousands of off key voices. Unwelcome to the choir sir! And welcome to the social media age where everyone gets to play a part! It ruined the moment.
