People use their association with bands and music as way of shaping their own identity. The show was professionally shot in HD and available as a worldwide rights-cleared stream. It will live on MuchMusic.
Share that online and tell people you were there instead of grainy, shaky, smeared, mono footage. Sure beats watching the backs of people's heads in the parking lot via youtube…. I don't ever take pictures and in a regular show, I do sometimes record a few songs.
I've been part of a few DVD projects and the results are quite phenomenal. You get some great HD angles, some soundboard or official audio and concert DVD's rival professional ones…without people contributing to a bigger project, thousands yes, thousands of fans who weren't there wouldn't be able to experience it.
It was great and everyone gets a chance to re-live it. Of course, I highly doubt these tweens were organizing a DVD of the Coldplay show with footage from their blackberrys.
About years ago when I was smuggling my digital camera into shows, I was taking pictures for myself to review later. I wasn't sure I'd get to see as many concerts as I do, and inevitably, the picture may look good on the camera display but put up on the PC screen, it was blurry — so I took lots of pics.
I don't take nearly as many pics now, having aged and realizing that I'm not getting anything different from song to song other than the lighting.. Plus my new camera is better quality and the video doesn't have distorted audio from the bass anymore. I'll take a handful of souvenier pics for myself and record a song or two, but thats about it now.
What gets me is the flash on cameras.. Trust the technology and turn the flash off, the stage lighting will come through.. I take pictures at shows for the same reason I take pictures when I'm on a tropical island vacationing — to remember the moment. It takes me 5 seconds to do and gives me a talking point when sharing my experiences. Why it bothers people is beyond me. Not all shows are documented as well as the Coldplay one. Plus the POV of the picture puts me back to the exact spot I was standing in that moment.
To each their own. Both sides have a point. But arguing that they're annoying is grasping for straws. Get over yourselves and let people do what they want.
I hate those guys at gigs who don't take pictures. They really annoy me and I might 'blog' it to vent my views. It's not grasping at straws. It's annoying as all get out because my view of the bands I came to see is obstructed by dozens of glowing little devices destroying MY moment, and marring the stage image that some groups spend a lot of time designing. I'd equate it to being as unpleasant as being surrounded by chain-smokers.
Totally agree — when I go to a concert I want to enjoy the experience and the band performing and really enjoy the music. I usually will record a little video or take pictures during one song just to have a personal keepsake of the show. Why people think that what their eyes and ears see and hear will be exactly what their phone is taking is hilarious. I totally agree with you!
