I've enjoyed looking at the few pictures posted or linked to in the ongoing U2 Concert Thread. One of the reasons (besides cost) that I am reluctant to go to most rock concerts is my perception that most photography is either banned from a concert venue or at least severely restricted. If I have to pay big bucks to attend a concert, I should be able to take pictures at the concert to help me remember it better than the simple fact that "I was there".
The last 2 concerts that I attended in recent years, I managed to sneak in a small camera to the places where we were seated with mixed results. If the camera thing was not an issue, I would love to take my DSLR with a long lens and get some decent pictures at whatever concert I'm at. As things now go, I guess most people are resigned to sneaking in a small compact camera or mobile phone camera in to get a picture.
Unless of course one is a member of the press.
Anyway what are your thoughts on photography at rock concert or any other kinds of music performances?
