Too many concerts are being ruined by wannabe videographers holding up their frickin’ cameras in everyone else’s line of sight. If you’ve been to a live show in the last several years you’d know it all too well; these two drunk clods at Blondie readily come to mind.
I don’t mind people taking a picture now and then, just don’t bother recording the bulk of the performance. Be in the moment! Besides, these devices can’t capture the experience very well. Few on YouTube are any good. With picture taking I do have a bone to pick. Don’t overdo it please.
Some of you might be saying, “But Steve, what about the OK Go movie you posted in 2010?” Somara recorded it and worked really hard not to ruin others’ view. If we did, we apologize. At least she only did it during the special performance of “What To Do.”
The only view I blocked was of the speaker on the stage (I had already switched places with someone off to the side who couldn’t see).
