Just don’t film it and enjoy the show. You will watch that shaky, grainy “video” with terrible sound maybe once and will forget about it, but it will forever change your perception of the show, since you will be trying to film it and “not screw up” instead of actually enjoying it.

As a concert goer, I recommend filming at least one song and taking a few pics. Then just enjoy the rest of the show without your camera.

I dont get this consensus. I am a very visual being, if i didnt have a video or at least a photo from a show i would soon even forget how it all looked and felt. Plus i love sharing my experiences with others and i have gone through my footage from previous shows many times over.

So to the op: i guess first make sure to answer this honestly - Do you want to film it because you know you will look back at it? Or do you want to film it just because you feel like you have to?

If its the latter, jusr like with fireworks id recommend recording yourself and your close ones with the selfie camera instead :)

And first and foremost, enjoy your show, wear hearing protection and dont let others tell you how youre allowed/supposed to enjoy a show!
