2 daysShould fucking ban the things at live performances. Everyone would be better off.

They are banned at theatrical performances. People just ignore it and if an usher doesn’t spot it and intervene, most performers just ignore it too.

some venues and shows will actually make people put their phones in those bags at the door. Just like my kids elementary school.
There should be a machine that makes phones explode or melt if they are on.

Not sure if “mildly infuriating” because so many people are on their phones it required a rule, or because OP wants to record Care Blanchett performing live.
I worked front of house in the eighties. We already yelled at people for this shit then.

Good. We’re way too okay with filming everything and everything for the hope of a few more followers. This is someone’s art that they charge for, filming it either spoils it for the next person (reducing the artists due income), or convinces them not to go. It’s not “viral marketing”, they can do their own marketing.

Or ruins it for the people trying to enjoy it.
I love going to Maynard shows because he’s hardcore about banning phone use during his sets. I saw more than one person get kicked out due to it.
Although at the last tool concert I went to he let people have them out for Sober at the end, but he shamed them all for being junkies. The Pucifer/APC/Primus tour he didn’t, iirc.

Oh god concerts are so stupid right now. Can’t see anything because there’s always some idiot holding a phone up in front of your face.
Great, I might as well had stayed home and just watched it through some shitty TikTok feed

Exactly. My wife is 5’2 so we have to get aisle seats so she has a chance at seeing. Although I inevitably sit behind a short person standing on their seat to take a video that they’ll never look at.
