I don’t like phones at shows but I don’t like little bitch rules either.
I actually saw someone filming the ****ing symphony. No ****.

Stopped going to shows because of this. (although seeing Snarkey Puppy next month)
Went to see Aussie Pink Floyd do the entire Wall album (with DSOTM as an encore) at the San Diego symphony hall downtown and it was non-stop phones in the air and people yapping. ****ing ridiculous.

You're supposed to look at the performers.
EDIT: Wait it was a cover band? Nevermind, probably better not to look at them.

Honestly you just have to find shows where people are too high to figure out how to work their phones.

Cover band?
The surviving members of Floyd are such fans they sold them a bunch of their 90s era lightshow for cheap. Not sure I've ever gotten a bigger case of goosebumps than when hearing this at that show. Was one of the few times that everyone shut up and just listened. Aussie Floyd and Brit Floyd interchange members all the time.

Do they only play Pink Floyd covers?

I'm glad to say that when I went to gigs (circa 1864) this was not a thing. The worst you could expect would be some arsehole with a (titter) hand-held recorder like the one below, or maybe a recording walkman, shushing you as he was trying to record the show on the sly.
BOOTLEG, BABY! Of course, the real pros managed to blag a spot up at the mixing desk. Now those bootlegs were sweet!
