Woodinblack Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I was at a placebo gig yesterday, but it is something I have seen before and wondered about. Before the gig there were big signs with 'no mobile phones' icons on them, which seemed a bit pointless. The group came on and as usual, all the really tall people stand their with their arms up and their mobiles filming, so you have to see the gig through gaps round them and their phones. I normally take a few pictures of the gig, as I take a lot of pictures generally, but went to take my camera out and decided not to, as well, might as well just remember it and 'live in the moment' (without being one of those holier than though people, it actually seemed a good idea). What is new to me though was that the person in front of me was live streaming the gig onto facebook. I have seen some of these live streams from friends on facebook, never really watched them as they tend to have really crap sound and shaky video, but I was thinking that it seems kind of rude to stream someone elses gig onto facebook, especially when they asked you not to, in a way like recording and selling dodgy videos in the 80s. Does it seem to anyone else as rude or just par for the course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I saw the same in Manchester last week, I find it a bit tragic, crap video, appalling sound. What is the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) In term of the local pub band. when the person knows what they're doing, meaning broadcasting decent quality audio a video I think it's fine. Blue Off topic, Daryl Jones I doubt he will ever be offered full band nembership. The Stones are a very English enterprise. They are not going to let any Yankees in, IMO Edited December 13, 2016 by blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 In a pub band, I would think it is different. I am happy for people to film my stuff, but then I am not making any money from people coming to see me or selling videos. Although if they do film, it would be nice to find out where the video goes.

Norm Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just the fact that people film absolutely everything winds me up. They spend so much time dicking about with their phones they miss most of the gig! Take the memory & experience with you not a shaky bit of vid & gargling sh*tty distorted sound. Boils my piss! & relax, calming cup of tea, Norm? Ta, that would be lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) I tend to watch the show properly. If I do film any of it, it is with my camera under my chin and not in people's way. It may go on Youtoob later on. I don't live stream anything i have bought tickets for.

blue Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1481894836' post='3196054'] I'll agree that recording the whole gig through a phone or other device must take a lot away from being there and otherwise enjoying it. However, I think a lot has to be said for recording a song or two as a memento. I think it's a great keepsake from a gig that you really enjoyed. I'm in the process of uploading a video at the moment from the Clutch gig at Camden last night which i think came out rather well. The were a lot more annoying things occurring in the crowd last night than someone standing there with their phone in front of them! [/quote] I hardly notice it. If someone wants to live stream a couple of songs at one of our gigs, Go ahead, we're not that important and we don't take ourselves that seriously Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
