North American audiences generally don't sing along at concerts. They like to be entertained, and that's it. Japanese and European audiences, on the other hand, love to sing along. It's just cultural differences.
In short, no need for the nationalistic slurs.

Not to discount your theory, Bob, but at both Who (Two) concerts I was at, the audience was absolutely vociferous, causing Roger to joke that, "If you guys would shut the fuck up, we'd be able to hear ourselves sing!" When listening to 'Baba O'Riley' from both concerts, we almost drowned out Roger.
Of course, I've been to a few other concerts over the past year or two where the audience just sat and enjoyed the concert. When I saw The Stones, I pretty much just mouthed along, but it might've had to do with the nosebleed seats I had. (And I didn't even sing along at the Johnny Winter concert I saw...)
Maybe it's just Philadelphia who love to sing...
But as for the Montreal concerts, I maintain that the audience was mixed waaaaaaaaay down, because when you see the (very few) audience shots, they appear to be going wild, but you can barely hear them. Maybe when (if) the concert is ever re-re-re-re-re-released, a proper mix will be done to bring the audience back up. Who knows.

Whoever did the sound mix must have been trying to frame the audience for a crime they didn't commit.

Right, but we must keep in mind that on our side of the Atlantic, to call Baba O'Riley an anthem is a massive understatement. Few people know Love Of My Life, and of those who do, most of them haven't heard the live versions. In Europe, South America, Japan, etc. on the other hand.......

Good point, of course. You win this round!

Ha ha. Yeah. Even the Q+PR shows I went to in Long Island, New York and New Jersey people were singing along to Love of My Life. Nothing against Canadians at all, but I did notice a huge difference between crowd noise/participation in Cnada than in the U.S.. For example, hockey is HUGE in Canada (duh). But in the four hockey games I went to (2 in Toronto, 2 in Vancouver) The crowd was dead silent. They get so focused on the game you can here a pin drop unless someone shoots or gets hit. I think its just a cultural thing but still it was funny to see Fredie's reaction. Besides, we're not talking about real Canadians anyway. The show was in Montreal. Those are French Canadians ;)

Having a sense of humour is one thing, but jumping on the bigotry bandwagon and using anti-Canadian stereotypes is another. I am a very tolerant person, but one thing I will never, ever tolerate is American ignorance.

Funny how someone who is not tolerant of stereotypes uses the term "American ignorance". I really don't care one way or the other and am just playing devil's advocate. But I think he was just poking fun when he said "Blame Canada". It was a joke, I'm sure.

I saw that coming. To some people, even if you're just playing devil's advocate, it's a crime to be "intolerant" of someone else's intolerance.
It's an absolute fact that the majority of Americans know dick all about Canada, or most other countries. Most schools teach nothing about it, and instead they give the kids a deluded take on history while they're at it - which raises kids to be ignorant adults when it comes to matters involving countries other than their own.

Boo hoo. It's a bad generalization to make that the majority of United States citizens don't know anything about Canada. I happen to know plenty. I can probably name at least 5 of your states. Again, that's a joke so don't get all crazy about your provinces. Go practice your guitar. Good luck, by the way.
