While I agree that taking that many pictures at a concert is ridiculous, most folks aren't that inconsiderate. The issue really is a matter of courtesy not cameras. Most venues, I suspect, prohibit cameras because of incidents like you mentioned. (sounds like gun control laws... cameras don't kill people, people kill.... or something like that)
At my last concert I brought my wife's camera, which I knew full well I should practice with in low light conditions, etc. Well, when I went to snap shots at the concert, even though I shut the flash off (flash is utterly useless beyond 20 feet), I discovered that it was emitting a weird green light. I can only guess it was some sort of auto focus thing. In any event I never took a second shot! I would never diminish my fellow fan's evening by such distraction. "Cheap" digital cameras still have a long way to go, also.
By and far the vast majority of Lightfoot fans are exceedingly polite and well mannered, so much so that when someone acts anything less, they really stand out!
As for sound, I do wish Gord's sound people would crank the amps a bit!!! I know a good deal of "my problem" hearing is my problem hearing!! but it wouldn't hurt to turn it up a notch. Ok, so I'm half deaf, big whoof!! ( a wee bit 'o humor there...)
oh listen to me... rambling on again! so.... what what were we discussing???
