My 2006 Gilmour stuff comes from DAD and Yeeshskul so I assume you should already have it.

As jbaent's experience demonstrates, whether MK allows or doesn't allow taping really is meaningless, as most of the venues MK plays in the US and Europe don't allow taping anyway. The only scenario where taping would be absolutely allowed is when the band specifically instructs the venue to allow taping, and usually there is an extra fee involved that the band has to pay! (As what happened last year on the Nine Inch Nails tour.)

I have to get a discreet microphone!

I don't agree for Europe. PC is normally doing a meeting at everyshow with the locla security about the subject. Most venue who forbid recording are doing it assuming that the artist are forbididng it, only a minority of venue does have a strict policy of not allowed recording. So once the meeting is done the problem is that everybody in the security team has to be informed.

The same problem goes with some venue when security try to prevent people to stand up and rush upfront for the encore and that Mark need then to use his special flying towel

I was actually standing a few feet away from PC when he was holding one of those policy meetings with directors of a venue in 2005. Quite informal, in a hallway.
It was only about half an hour before they began allowing people into the concert, but it seemed all the ushers/security got the word in time about cameras and recording because they were quite nice about it. It was a small venue.

I am planning to sneak my camera in anyway this time.  Cause, during KTGC , I felt like kicking myself for not doing so.   I've already assigned one of my boys the job to do the recording.  We're going to be up in the balcony center in Oakland.  The filming position won't be too conspicuous, so I 'm confident that I'll get away with being caught. (hopefully!) Besides, I know that a lot other fans will be taking pictures and filming.  So, I don't think I care.  Plus I'd love to share whatever I can get with everybody.  My only concern is the quality of the filming.  I got a Nikon s600 digital camera with video feature. It has done a pretty good job for me so far.

Be careful, SweetSurrender.    First time, better to try the audio.   I've seen fans kicked out twice last tour (in Berkeley and in Jacksonville) for video recording.   I know it would break your heart to be kicked out from your first concert.     It was Mark himself who pointed at a fan in Berkeley, and it was quite a frown on his face.    Someone up high, extreme stage right got some videos, but I'd recommend not taking the chance.   Audio you can probably get away with, and people would be very grateful for your audio recording.   

[sweetsurrender]

Thanks Marie for the warning.  I'd better not then !!! I didn't realize that's what happened in Berkeley.  I was there.  Then again, there were thousands of people that day, some must have got away.  (there were a couple of videos on Youtube from Berkeley show) It would absolutely break my heart if that were to happen, so I guess I'll just enjoy the concert and let somebody else do the recording which I'm sure will surface somewhere, sometime. 

Do you think that I should bring my camera? Maybe just  a few pictures ? 


thanks,

Is that why sometimes you talk a load of **** Dusty? lol just joking - it is all good stuff

[IrisRose]

Yes, do take the camera, and listen to PC's announcement at the beginning of the concert.   People are speculating that perhaps still photos will be banned.   I hope not.   That would be terrible.   But take the camera just in case.    I used my still camera in Berkeley last time, and got some nice pics.   Use the correct setting on the camera, and you wont' even need a flash.   
Try to get audio, if you can.  There are usually a couple of good recorders in Berkeley who share, but it doesn't hurt to have another audio.
