I don't like anyone clapping or singing along when I go to any concert but especially Lightfoot shows. I paid good money to hear the performer and don't want to listen to someone around me drowning out the professional on stage! The problem with the clapping during Gord's songs is that it usually not a song that requires clapping throughout the whole song. It's just a bit here and there and I'm sure it's very distracting to him while he's trying to keep time with the musicians on stage. Plus I'm sure he's aware that most people would prefer that no clapping happen at all.
At a concert on the weekend some moron kept yelling out after every song - he wasn't requesting songs either. He was just yelling"Hey Gord" "Yeah Gord!" - that sort of "look at me" stuff that makes you want to get up and smack the guy!
