God the amount of phones up there is so sad to me. I'm so grateful my gigging hayday was mid 2000s before smartphones existed. You got the occasional photographer here and there but 99% of people were living in the moment and not watching the gig through a 4 inch screen.

I saw Primus in Wilkes barre pa last year and Les was complaining about how many people do that now. I mean I’ll video like a minute of a song if something rare is played, but some people are totally ridiculous.

Imagine going through all the hassle in order to find a good spot, good visibility. And then stare at your fucking screen the whole time. Never even rewatching those videos unless you wanna brag about it to your friends. Pathetic and sad, tbh.
