Saturday night

The night after the book presentation I had another exciting thing planned: an Editors concert! I liked it a lot, but can anyone please explain me what this stupid clapping thing is? And then I don't mean the applauding at the end of a song... Seriously, each time as soon as there was some sort of rhythm detectable in the music, the audience started clapping that rhythm like madmen... I sometimes almost felt like I was at an Andre Rieu concert! Is this something only the Dutch do, or is it common at concerts these days (guess I'm getting old...)? Ah, I guess I'm never that fond of too much audience participation. Enthusiasm is great, but please let the band do their thing without spoiling it with the stupid clapping thing...
(they do it here as well... come on, this isn't a clapping song! ;))
