premature clapulation

When someone in the audience, thinking the song is over -- especially one with a "false ending," applauds before it's done.

I know people sometimes forget they aren't supposed to clap between movements during a classical music concert, but premature clapulation before Led Zeplin's "Thank You" fades back at the end is unforgiveable.
