I have a better LPT:

Watch the damn concert without your phone in between you and the experience. The memory beats the hell out of the saved video.

I sold my film camera in 1996 because I realised that it was getting between me and the experience.

I whip out my phone daily to capture images, but I capture experiences like concerts with my brain, not my camera.

I agree. At the same time, there are some concerts I couldn't attend that had pretty good fancams made of them.

See, here's the thing: missing a concert isn't the end of the world. Sticking your phone up in front of my face and ruining the concert for me, that is not on.

We can't really control other people. Sorry you had that kind of experience.
