Nope, nothing like that where I watched it.  Just the usual cheering and
clapping on the exciting parts...
Most of the loudest cheering I remember, Hmmm, let me see:

Head falling off, LOL...
Jimmy's eyes as he turns his head...
Bonzo's car pulling up
The start of R&R...
"Good evening"...
Robert fighting, and them falling (The Rain Song)...
The timing of the PERFECT ending of The Rain Song...
Jimmy's Bow...
Jimmy going crazy (middle of Dazed)...
The wizard swinging the lit up sword, (MAN, lit the whole dam place up)...
"Jimmy Page, electric Guitar"...
Announcing Bonzo...
Shake one time for Elvis...
Way down inside...
And of course the tail end of Whole Lotta Love

However, we here in Pittsburgh, let out some extra cheering, when the limos
went thru our Pittsburgh tunnels, then seeing our city...
