    Take a few pictures. That's fine. Please, for the love of all that is right and good in the world, turn your brightness as far down as you can. Your neighbors would love you for it.

    For the Chris Cornell show in Lakewood, security would bust people who kept their phone out longer than to snap a picture or two. They politely asked people to put it away. After about 20 minutes, not one screen could be seen. It was delightful.

    I agree with some of the above. I always snap a pic or 2 or 9 lol to remember the arena. I take a selfish or 5. Once the climb thst ladder I go pee and get back to my seat :rock_on: I check out the forums when I get back to my room after I shower.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Come on people stop with this. We all damn well know when the point of being douchey is crossed.

    I wish this practice was more prevalent in every day living. At least twice a week I almost get creamed by some asshole driving with their phone in hand.

    I always wondered why anyone would go to a concert and then watch it through their phone. They don't bother me one bit either way. I've always just ignored them even when they are near me. I do text family and friends that are in the arena, either to find out where they are or say stuff like God Damn that was crazy good, Wholly Fuck or McCreeeeeeedy killed it. Stoneeeeey, Boooooooom!

    I am happy others do record so I can watch on youtube later but I'm selfish, I like to watch and not fool around with my phone and waste the moment. I have never even took a pic with my phone at any bands show ever, other than some tailgating parking lot with friend pics. And besides I am usually always holding two beers so my hands are busy enough already :)
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    I'll usually take a minute long video of the band, the venue, and the crowd during Alive. Or when the house lights get turned on.
