I'm in the new track if it is long club. I can't stand a track with a ton of noise at the end. I wait, expecting something to happen, then wish I just skipped ahead.

That's 1/2 of my reasoning, as well. It was reinforced by some band members who provided feedback that they didn't like the drawn out banter at the end of given tracks and would prefer a separate track or removal of banter altogether (which I won't commit to).
I also know most of the musicians I record, so I generally know well enough when they'd prefer I cut out
certain stuff altogether, though (nervous banter, jokes that went nowhere, gratuitous tuning, etc.).
For us tapers it's about the whole show experience. The musicians don't often see it that way. As time goes by I'm more in tune with their likes/dislikes, and have grown more interested in individual songs vs. entire performances. That, of course, means more time in post production than I'd like, but it is what it is, I guess.
