Almost every time I'm on a subway / metro.. I am wishing for something like this to happen, something spontaneousness and fun that connects the closely crowded individuals who all seem to be interested in their feet ;) Was also noting that sharing an experience has moved a step up from "you shoulda been there" ... to "here... watch, listen...see!" :) cool hah! nice.

However, with production you benefit from the layering, the sound quality is outstanding. So the audiophile in me prefers the produced version (at least in terms of sound) but the human in me prefers the subway!
