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!

I went to see him on that same tour. It was pretty amazing. Fortunately, he kept his mouth shut and just played the songs.
The entire second half were Floyd songs opening with Set the Controls... long time ago ... iirc ... great show though
Amazing he would chastise paying fans for clapping along. Lol - astonishingly pretentious even for him. That might even surpass Art Blakey. I love Waters but good god is he a pretentious prick. The fact that he thinks he could write that horrible horrible horrible opera that's easily the worst record mentioned on that other thread shows what a ****ed up narcissistic prick he is. I've seen GG Allin in concert but I actually think what Waters did at your concert is far more offensive. He's in such a power position. You're thinking like this guy wrote The Wall and then he uses all that clout to make you feel bad for clapping along. I know I take these guys too seriously but that would really hurt my feelings. He's lucky y'all were chill and didn't bum rush him and give him the ass kicking he deserved.
