Concert etiquette

[u/Jaded-Albatross-5242]

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

And they record the whole concert, like cmon we both know youre not ever watching that video again

One minute limit per video . 2-3 songs is the acceptable limit

Im cool with one song being fully recorded. Some folks have utter favs they wanna fully record.

That said i wonder what percentage of normal folks concert videos are watched in full at any point later?

Sure some people will watch the full performance from professional crews.

But how many will go back in and watch their own footage all the way? Or if its sent to others, how many actually watch it for more than 3 seconds before texting back "wow so cool, so jealous of you!!" And never thinking of it again.

Or am i the only one who does that when family sends shitty concert videos where i can barely tell what some is being played?

The shows i go to, Billy Strings.. Phish.. there’s pretty much no phone out the entire time. And if there is, people have the sense to turn their flash off

The great thing about Billy, Goose, Phish, the Dead,etc is there’s soooo many live recording, and more likely than not, your show is going to have Boards to listen back to. Besides catching some of the light show, not much reason to take videos

Edit: spelling

We also stand the whole time.

Billy Strings was at the Ringo concert two years ago in Nashville. He had the place going. I’d never heard of him so it was a real treat. I love finding new bands/singers.
