I think you’ve nailed it, Queer. Sometimes I’ll see updates on someone’s FB page which are actually sent FROM a concert during the show like . . . . “Ministry is killin’ it! They’re playing ‘So What’ now! It’s totally awesome!”
Really? So awesome that you thought, “Hey, I got an idea! Instead of listening to and watching this awesome show I’ll pull out my phone and Tweet everyone a play-by-play!” I might, if there’s something particularly amazing and unique that I want to capture an image of (usually this means something like a guy bloodied from catching an elbow in the pit, or two girls pulling each others’ hair or something), pull out my phone and try to snap an image or two here and there, but I would NEVER even think to actually try to communicated with the outside world during a show (I’m perplexed by people that actually have a conversation on their phone with someone in the middle of the show — I have a hard enough time hearing mine just while driving).
If you’re so busy and so important that you can’t wait 2 hours to talk to someone on the phone . . . . DON’T GO TO SHOWS!!! And if you do go to shows (you still shouldn’t) and must use your phone, go to the merch area or into the bathroom or something. Don’t be an annoying, inconsiderate asshole.
Haha!
No love for bootlegers! How else would we get to see their awesome footage on youtube.
