Dead stop before applause....
A while ago now, but it still makes me smile when I think of it.
A few of us went to a gig at a small venue (holds around 1500 people I guess), I forget the band (might have been the Quierboys - could it really have been THAT long ago?), but it's not relevent.
You know some songs, when played live just simply come to a dead stop at the end of a song? Can hardly fade out I suppose.
Well, this was one of those songs, the song built up to a load crescendo and then just....bang. Dead stop.
Usually, there's the briefest of moments, while it sinks in to the alcohol addled brains that they need to start clapping...and this was one such occassion.
Instead of the clapping, however, a chap about 5 bodies away from me burped. Incredibly loudly.
The entire croud fell about laughing, as did the band. To their credit they thanked him personally for his 'applause' and then continued to the next song....that one DIDN'T end quite so abrubtly!

It would have been funnier if he'd farted.
Just saying.
