I've seen tool and apc in the past couple of years and even though it was officially no phones, there were still a lot of people with phones recording a good majority of the show. It is quite annoying standing behind someone shining a screen into your face. I can understand recording a short video, like capturing the curtain drop. I really just don't even get why you would want to pay to stand there holding your phone the entire time. The video won't be worth watching and no one wants to see your crappy video!

Maybe I'm just weird, but a lot of the time at concerts I just close my eyes because I find the visual stimulation of the entire thing to be too distracting from the music.

Someone at a ROCK SHOW blocking your view with a phone? just push them out of the way and stand in front of them.

They were in stadiums with assigned seating. Which is also a reason why I don't go to those kinds of shows very often. They feel so sanitized.

Soooooo sanitized. I saw Gorillaz at the Air Canada Centre this year and felt like a zoo animal.

Same here re closing eyes to properly listen!
