@@michaeltburdine3652 hmmm Why don't you just thing that they clapped just because the people were polite and they came to listen to music, but not to scream and shout. And what are your proofs that it was restricted to cheer. And who did "ordered" them not to do it? The head of KGB himself? Yes, he came to each person and told not to clap. Oh God what's wrong with you people?
Wolf Phantomstein except that’s actually what happened. Elton literally commented in the commentary for that concert that if people did get up to cheer, men in navy blue suits would push them back down again.
