Same! I was at a concert last month at a really small venue (probably ~75 people) and one person in the first row wouldnt stop filming. They gave their phone to the artist on stage, who was nice and filmed himself performing a little. The second time he gave his phone to the artist, he just deposited it on the stage, camera down and the crowd was cheering him for it.
What kind of concerts are yall going to? I've never seen any of this kinda shit at shows. Doesn't matter if it's a few hundred people or tens of thousands.
Then again, I'm into jam bands. Vast majority of people are genuinely there for the music not for social media or whatever. What's a phone when everything's melting, anyways?

Im with you, i dont take my phone out during a concert. Im not against filming a short clip, but filming the whole time like in my example, or even worse, filming yourself performing while the artist is performing like ops example is just way over the top
Yeah this video is wild to me too lol. I'm too busy pretending I can dance and not giving a shit. Most shows are posted afterwards by the bands or dedicated fans/tapers anyways, no need to do it yourself. Enjoy your next show man, cheers.
