Amazing to see people viewing a concert, presumably recording it at the same time, through their smartphone. Much easier to put the phone away and look at the stage where it is all happening. I saw John Fogerty in Dublin recently and was staggered to observe patrons recording parts of the show on their phones while ignoring what was going on onstage. I suppose they upload these files to Social Media. Much better IMHO to watch and enjoy the show.

These days people just want to post stuff on their social media to get likes and show off to their friends rather than actually being in the moment.
I'm not usually a judgemental snob...but they had clearly been bought the tickets as a present by someone who attributed them with more intelligence than they actually have. They were obviously struggling to keep up!
I do agree though, filming gigs is an abomination. Real memories are HD, 3D, surround sound and don't have their quality reduced by YouTube!

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youHalf way through he repeated the request for folk to live in the moment.
I was watching one of the BBC in concerts and someone in the audience was filming the band on their phone. They were at a concert being filmed by the BBC and still felt the need to film it on a phone. Yep, sod the iPlayer I’ve got ten minutes of inaudible shakey footage on my Samsung...
I havent paid to watch a show through someone else's 4" screen.

As someone who's wife works in a secondary school, it would also be handy for the school to be able to disable all apps (apart from maybe the calculator) during lesson time.
