Bud and Travis, in their first live concert album, left a lot of their stage patter in the final cut. Some is now dated. Some of it seems, in retrospect, a bit sophomoric. Some was manic and some was inspired. During a different performance, I recall Bud retorting to one loudmouth, "Thanks for being a part of the inner circle; as opposed to a large, vulgar crowd." There is one bit where Travis begins to speak of improvising. Bud responds, "We never improvise." What ensues is an argument consisting of two parallel conversations with the audience, each attempting to talk over the other - the vocal equivalent of some sort of manic counterpoint.

My son's band recently responded to some hecklers with a spontaneous verse of "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
