U2 is playing a concert in Glasgow. Around 2/3 of the way through the set, Bono stands at the lip of the stage, slowly raises his arms and asks the audience to be quiet.
Obediently, the masses hush.
In the ensuing silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.
Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone.....

"Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice with a broad Glasgow accent from near the front pierces the silence....

"Well, stop fucking clapping then, you Irish bastard!!!"

Вспоминается знаменитое:

At the Royal Variety Show in 1963—in the presence of members of the British royalty—Lennon told the audience, "For our next song, I'd like to ask for your help. For the people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands... and the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewellery."

Судя по тому, как им хлопали - нахлопали взаимную резню тутси-хуту, как минимум :)
