I was just thinking of people who can draw a crowd.

Even they can't always be trusted to perform at a sensible hour and properly.

It's very liberating, happens sooner than you expect and you have many years of that to look forward to..

Other what?

(Yes, I'm involved in writing a paper to the board on diversity at the moment. My stance if you're interested, is firmly that we shouldn't care until someone is employed, then we should care, a lot).

If you want to see your favorite artist on screen, use Youtube, but isn't the whole point of concerts to see the bands/artists LIVE??

I'd hazard a guess that less than 0.01% of those concert videos are ever looked at again unless something spectacular goes wrong.

Last concert I went to here in the US was the Chilli Peppers. Did take a few pics with a camera ; no smartphone because their inability to zoom and take pics in low light rules them out. have never taken video , just a few pics here and there. There was no sea of smartphone at the RCHP concert, proably about 15% of the people had them up, but not the same folks throughout the concert.

Does seem rather stupid to take video, unless it is 1 or 2 songs special to the person.
