That's funny, I photographed Dylan and The Band back in 1974 in the old Charlotte Coliseum. People had cameras all over the place, and there was a guy sitting near us with a Nakamichi cassette deck, recording the whole show.

I used to be sitting in the dirt in Cambridge commons hearing Taj up close and for free. Whoever had a camera could use it. Cell phones did not exist yet.

People are rude and will block somebody else's view just so they can get their picture.

Why do they prohibit cameras in enclosed venues? Smartphones are good enough if you’re near the stage but if you’re far out there you need a zoom lens. Your thoughts.

Secondarily half the people taking pictures at a venue are assholes who hold their device up in front of the would be viewers behind them.
