To think going to a concert and then spend all of it watching through a mobile phone is odd?

Why do so many people spend the entire time filming?! Do they ever watch it again?

A lot of people take stills as well, can't really see the point in that either as never looks like anything but to basically watch the entire concert through a camera screen is weird I think. And very distracting if the people are sat in front of you.

Tonight I had David Bailey next to me who took a lot of stills using the flash. She then reviewed them on the camera and edited and deleted before taking more. They ALL looked the same, a tiny silhouette of a man against a brightly lit background, why, why? They were hardly pictures to go in the album. Unless the album were to be entitled "pictures of tiny people against bright lights." And why use the flash? It was highly annoying.

There's my mini moan for this evening!

Had too many gigs ruined by arseholes standing in front with a bloody ipad, taking photo's or recording it. Phones are bad enough but an ipad is so obvious and in your face - it's totally distracting

Imatot we saw manically on Monday hardly any phones out just people loving the music!!

I have to confess to maybe taking pics/video of a fave song but yes to be on it the whole time is a wasted experience

Well I would try to keep it down to a minimum,and not be in their face with it! I don't like upsetting people. I record on my camera,though,not a phone.

But then I get upset by the people who want to stand when I'm sitting. I find it really hard to stand for a long length of time,especially in a confined space,and then someone in front decides they want to dance ,and completely block my view. Seats are a lot of money and its not fair to completely block someone's view. I don't like that I'm forced to stand. Some people seem to think you can't be enjoying the gig if you're not dancing. I prefer to sit and take it all in and sing along from seat.

And,while we're on about inconsiderate people, the ones who spend their entire time during a concert going back and forth to get drinks or food...while the concert is in progress!! Why pay all that money to not actually sit/stand and watch it??

Agree about I-pads,though...Ridiculous!!
