I'm more from the japanese school of "silence reverence" toward performers I admire in concert, (suitable applause and shouts of support at applicable moments of course).
I recall it was Germany that some NZ bands had to adjust to when they toured. Reverent silence is great when you know that's what's going on, rather than indifference. So serious, the Germans.

although people actually paid to attend the recent chris matthews robot monkey orchestra gig in dunedin in order to yell at him he was "shit" and that he'd "done nothing good since railway surfing",
I'm sure he was pleased he'd stepped out of retirement just for that :)Ugh. Why would people do that? Old grudges or something? That's so impossibly lame. How did the gig go apart from that?

guess she was drunk and thought 'he hadn't done anything good since railway surfing' and wanted to let him know. maybe she was chch? (fill in suitable sarcasm brackets for observer)

germany was great, they really looked after you.
meet you at the venue with fresh food, set up your gear, took you back to your hotel, attended your gig, stood right up the front politely enjoying your songs, and chatted to you knowledgeably into the night about your music. rather civilized compared to some places.
Japan is even more so though, they don't talk at all even amoungst themselves between songs. dead silence while the guitarist twangs his guitar back into tune and the bass player tries to crack a joke about strange food he's eaten in tokyo -

I blame the internet. All that blogging just encourages ppl to share their worthless opinions. </mine excepted>

speaking of shameful behaviour I just talked to someone who attended the rolling stones 60's gig in invercargill where mik jagger legendarily referred to invercargill as the ass hole of the world or some such sentiment.
While he may or may not be right about invercargills anal similarities apparently the concert only ran for 10-15 mins because people threw tomatoes at them????
I hadn't heard that detail before,and we wonder why more touring bands skip the sth island.
I'm still a little shocked as to why anyone would pay good money to abuse artists that bothered to make the trip to their stinky wee towns.

I say parochial, you say tomato, let's call the whole thing off..

;) and they did,
I don't think any of the stones have ever set foot in the south island again,its like a fairy story only really negative
