I just watched a country band play a song live right in front of me and when it ended, no one applauded. To be honest, I was indifferent about the performance but with hundreds of other people, and no one else clapped? I felt the awkwardness in the room at that moment and the band did too.
@richieleyland I trust they didn't play Dixie.
@scottlink there’s was awkward silence for about 15-20 seconds then they went into the next song
