Good article, thanks for sharing.

"When did you guys start encouraging fans to throw playing cards in the air during Poker?

We didn't actually come up with the idea. I wish I could pinpoint where it started happening. But people started doing it, and then more recently, we said, "You know what? It's kind of a cool thing." So we actually encouraged it for the Red Rocks taping. We said, "Hey, we're filming, bring as many cards as you can." Some nights are heavier than others. But it's kind of a fun thing to watch from our perspective on the stage. It's awesome."

Ha! The band likes it when people throw cards! See? So many of you guys diss it, but I think it's neat.

I haven't tried it, partly because I didn't want to be mocked by those who are so virulently against it. But I guess I shouldn't care. Maybe I will do it next time. The main objection I saw was that it would cause a mess to clean up. At the concerts I've been to, the ground was completely littered with piles of trash, so a few playing cards would have made absolutely no difference at all. There was also concern that they might hit the band. I would be careful about that.

 But it's obvious the band likes it because they requested/encouraged it for the Red Rocks viewing.

I thought the consensus was that they just did that because it would look cool on film, not that they liked it in general.

I just like it because it is a signature thing to do on a signature song for the band.
