the act of influencing a crowd to show more
attention and excitement towards a lack luster band or song. Arm movements towards the sky, a "c'mon" or
eyebrows and head raised are typical ways for a band to improve the fan
experience.
The crowd was
enjoying the show in their own way until the band needed to pump up
the crowd where everybody was asked to raise their arms to please the band's request.
Thankfully, Auberbach decided to pump up the crowd. Then it was a party.
Yeah, I've never seen Thom Yorke try to pump up the crowd before. I really wish he could try to connect wit the crowd more.
