I miss a lot of concerts lately because of money issues: live music is too expensive and it's getting worse every day. So: I appreciate very much when people record the whole show and post it on their Youtube channel. What a bless! Many of them are getting pro, with very cool audio and they make sure that the show looks good on video. Totally a win-win thing. I can enjoy the show in my place with good sound and quality, and they earn some money with their Youtube views. BUT:

COME ON... what do you earn recording a song (or half of it), while dancing, with your shitty phone? Shitty audio, shitty photographic framing, not a bit of corcern to make a nice video... Besides, that video will remain in their hard drives like a speck of dust in an abandoned house. They'll never watch it again. NEVER.

Concerts should have some kind of strong restriction with phones/cameras; they are annoying, they bother the people behind you, and sometimes a few "geniuses" record with the flash ON. COME ON!!

What should be done? What do you think, people?

@leoschuldiner23

I'm with you on every single point here. When I GO to a live show, I myself NEVER freakin' do more than:

Know when a REALLY GOOD THING IS COMING

Record ONLY THAT PART (under 30 seconds!)

Continue enjoying the live music I paid (IN SO MANY WAYS) to see in a way that allows others to also enjoy.

Artist debuting something new?
EVERY PHONE COMES OUT.

Why? Do you not want to be a part of this moment?

If you're there in the hopes to record the entire thing you should be in a space where you are not blocking or impeding the enjoyment of others. Ugh.

@HCBunny You are totally right, and I'm also not using my phone for pics or videos anymore. I realize I rarely see them after the show, and most of times they suck... xD

@leoschuldiner23 I won't be of help there. I made my peace with not attending concerts anymore years ago. Listen and watching live albums at home is totally fine.

@m1rk0 totally understood decision... Sometimes when I'm on a concert I think by myslef "god... why am I here, I hate annoying people, I spent a lot of money, the venue usually sucks, rarely the sound quality is good -due to the venue most of times-, there are hundreds of phones in front of me, talking people next to you.." I alway say to myself: "I think I'm not comming back to a concert", but I end doing it anyway. But, I must say, I'm much more selective... respect!
