photos and vids are something what we need to feed our live shows hunger - but, on the other hand, a forest of ppl's arms holding their telephones, and being focused on filming, instead going mental and having fun, it really doesnt look too good.....
it should be like: few reliable ppl are filming and making really good material. all the rest of fans are sure they'll got nice records, so they just enjoy the party and jumping!
where is the point, when everybody will have few minutes of shitty, unstable, and distorted sound recordings, and sacrifice having pure fun for it ?
that's why i even dont think about making any films or pics while i'm at gig. ok, let everybody fight with their phones, i prefer to have fun and enjoy the gig. well, i've done one live pic: maxim's hand holding microphone and my nose
totally agree to you - I go to a gig to have a good time / party along with the prodigy - enjoying the music and dancin my legs off. BUT there are some moments where I wanna have some good pictures nearby the persons I give a BIG respect. Just 10 - 20 pictures maybe and I will be totally happy. To make film is really shit - we all can see those crappy results on youtube. But pictures are something to remember back this special days...
