There was this weird silence as he walked to the mike and said, "You know, it would really be much nicer if you didn't do that." Then he started the song over, while we all sat there like schoolboys who'd been told off. You could've heard a pin drop, as they say!

That's so odd that you have first-hand experience of that, cos I read a review of another concert (or maybe the same one, though I doubt it) where the reviewer said that during the song "If" (I don't know it, unless it's the Bread classic?) a guy started whistling and Waters said "Don't whistle, mate. It'd be better without the whistling." Jesus. Come to a Roger Waters concert but do not under any circumstances show that you enjoy it and for Christ's sake do not participate in any way! Hard to see him doing a Freddy Mercury "way-hay-hay-hay" singalong thing, isn't it?
On another note, this song from Fish of Marillion, from his fourth solo album, whining about fame and its hollowness, always kind of pissed me off.
