I could definitely do without some of the posing but I always remind myself when I'm ensconced in my fan club seats near the stage that they are playing in an arena so subtlety can be lost on the cheap seats. Classic performer line is to "play to the audience members in the balcony". I totally forgive his posing simply because he's a freaking monster of a guitarist!
With Caffery (my fave) I feel bad for the people not down front because they miss all of his interaction with the fans in front. He's a riot to watch during the show!
