Recording Policy

[IrisRose]

Now there is an annoying thought--some jerk sitting next to me calling his mama to tell her how much he's enjoying the show and why doesn't mk play mfn and please pick him up a pack of beer for when he gets home because he forgot.

dmg,   Just about everyone will have a mobile with them, purely for making and taking calls - if only for an emergency or ringing for a cab, etc.  It is just not possible to ban them, or take them away from people - there would be mayhem if the management tried going down that road!  

They should be turned off during the gig, though!

  The best idea is to save the pictures 'til the end of the show, or a suitable break between songs. 

Apparently (according to GF), this has been tried, and guess what? it failed!

On the 2005(?) tour at one of the UK(?) shows, MK took someone's cell phone away from them, put it on top of his amp, and gave it back to him at the end of the show. I believe the situation was that the guy was trying to get MK to take a picture of the crowd.

ROFL Marie! 

I read about taping the flash light of the camera's. Does that really work? .....IF it works it is a great idea and I might take my little digital with me! I think it is better not to take the Nikon reflex camera inside, it makes a noice when I take pictures!

I wholeheartedly agree with that, but my point was that people will have them at the show for making calls (perhaps phoning for a taxi or to meet friends after the show) and no amount of threats from PC will stop people from taking their mobile phones to the show.

Just turn off the flash Fieneke - it isn't permanent - if you have a handbook it will tell you how.

dmg -  I think we are in full agreement on the same point!

[Fieneke2]

I hope so. We would miss your nice photos Nelly  

So they would ban videos, photos, mobile phones ? audio also ?  what else ?
don't let you enter if you wear a hawaiian shirt or have long hair ?  
Sir, yes sir !!!  

Don't they understand they are a rock band ? An audience with no freedom is not an audience.

According to their recording policy, I'd better bring a jackhammer than a camcorder.
Not sure it's not disturbing but at least it follows the recording policy.
Please don't ask us to have a stupid behavior !

[FenderBender]

A ban on Hawaiin shirts? Long hair?

Guy Fletcher better make sure he keeps his ID with him, otherwise he might not get back on stage after his comfort break during Sultans of Swing.

I think the new recording policy should be very short and very simple. "Photos and recordings are OK, but DON'T FLASH THE BAND!"

When you find out let me know how please:-)
