Some fans fail to grasp the fact that it's not about THEM (and their friends) - it's about whoever is onstage. If the audience is quieter here (and it isn't always) it might just be that they are actually listening to the music instead of expressing themselves.

I agree with you it's awful to get a person next to you singing during the whole show ...and it is worse when it is off key (but I recall also one of yours here posting on backstage how he felt odd hearing himself singing along at the first show he went to on the circle tour )
I also agree that a non reaction is not always a NON FEELING
I though thought the thread was refering to the atmosphere more than to the fact it is loud or not ...you judge the crowd IN BETWEEN the songs or when the lead singer ask for a reaction or when the singer is not asking for a reaction and get it anyway ...I will never in my life forget the response to Richie's I'll be There For you in manheim 2003 ... the crowd sang 'alone' without richie without him asking for it it was a chant to keep the song going it was one of the most impressive audience reaction ever ... Jon couldn't stop it by beginning a new song like he usually do so he had to sing along with the crowd and then he managed to get the control back ....
that sort of reaction is maybe what was the OP refering to and if it is not mandatory to all show in europe it is much more common here and it's rather well known that artists LOVE that
