And I assumed before the show that there would be absolutly No Cameras at all. It's not a question of photos being sold when it comes to Prince. He has a Iron Fist kind of control over his image, and how and where and when it's displayed. Stuff from back when he was with Warner I don't think he still has control over.MelindaSpencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677974086563788147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812120038618591999.post-62783665952612712972011-12-01T12:31:09.087-04:002011-12-01T12:31:09.087-04:00Had such a great time at the show.. glad I went. ...Had such a great time at the show.. glad I went. Was blown away by Shelby J, more than anything else, really. Experienced a first, when I felt the CONCRETE below our seats physically moving...and when the crowd sang Purple Rain and Doves Cry I was emotionally moved, and I had an equally great experience with those fellow concert goers in Section 20.. HOWEVER..my peeve with the whole thing was I didn't like the rudness of the security people over the camera issue.. the signs CLEARLY stated no "Professional" cameras and went on to explain "Detatchable lenses". Don't post signs stating one thing if you mean another.. pics taken on an iPhone are not going to be for public sale, but rather more as a keepsake of a great concert attended. I have pics of every concert I've ever been to.. Musicians are public figures, make their life being public and although I agree with papparrazzi being shot for intruding on private lives, Joe Who next to me with his little Canon point and shoot taking a picture at a public concert shouldn't be treated the way I witnessed "our" security guy treating people. These people weren't 17 year olds.. the average age of our section (and this concert) was about 45 or even older. Post the concert rules as they are meant to be posted and stick to them.. and treat the people paying $100 a pop (on average) with a little more respect. "Hey arsehole.. delete the f*&^%ing pic" just doesn't cut it in my books...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
