You have hit on both and one cannot be singled out...that is relations to song and relations to the audience. Neither one can be missing for a great performance, but technical brilliance is not required. Ever seen John Prine perform? Not folk, but Tom Petty is a good example too. There are lots of others, but the balance in these two is good. ......no audience diving or panty throwing and into the songs without navel contemplation.

Why am I commenting on this? Who the hell cares? Theree is no rhyme nor reason regarding tastes and opinions are like..........you know the rest. Screw it!
