The same works in reverse, if the crowd gives you nothing to feed off of, it's tough to get into a groove and loosen up.
I will have to agree with this. However, the pros just suck it up and do it. Just about every major musical act who's made it has toughed it out giving 110% for every show, or at least trying their best to do so. Let's face it, the great bands never came out of the starting gate on top. They all earned it.
I think it's the amateurs who tend to get to full of themselves and dis the crowds, etc. If you're serious about what you do then you have to respect the crowd regardless of their response to you. And as been said here, play for yourself if no one else is listening.
