Search youtube for laserface and gareth emery. The sea of phones are all recording the stage. So they are the same color as the show. They turn the otherewise dark audience into a reflection, adding to the effect. This is not a bad thing.
As for dancing, dancing is for clubs. Clubs are not concert halls. You dance at a club. You watch a show at a hall. Only DJ-types who are confused about whether they are record-spinning robots or stars in a spotlight cannot tell the difference.

- retired 8mo agoPerhaps they could have communicated beforehand that the performance would be available for free on YouTube afterwards, so that people don’t need to record.

- sandworm101 8mo agoBut the official footage will not be the same as the show as you lived it. The effects look radically different from seat to seat. And your friends wont be there either.
- margalabargala 8mo agoThis assumes that the recording from the audience will actually be watched ever.
- pjmlp 8mo agoHere is the thing, I still remember when there was no recording, what happens in the venue stays in the venue, or gets talked with others that shared the experience.
- dangus 8mo agoThat was in the era of $10 shows. If I am paying $700 to see Lady Gaga you bet your ass I’m taking some pictures. I actually find k-pop shows somewhat refreshing because there’s zero negative stigma for wanting to record pictures or video. I can easily tell that Gen Z/Alpha has no problem enjoying themselves and even dancing while recording a video. If a phone is blocking your view the venue is designed wrong, or you have the rare concertgoer who doesn’t know how to hold their phone in a way that preserves the view for others, which is rare for the younger audiences. (I don’t go to venues with flat floors anymore. Often they weren’t even designed for concerts in the first place).
- pjmlp 8mo agoFor what, to say "I was there"?
- shibapuppie 8mo agoWhy take pictures at all? Why did our grandparents bother to photograph anything at all, ever! WE ALL KNOW THEY WERE THERE! That's how you sound.
- pjmlp 8mo agoExcept they didn't photograph every little second of their lives, they enjoyed the moment.
- moritzwarhier 8mo agoI'm mostly too old to go to clubs, but to me techno and other electronic music is not about stages or visual effects, quite the opposite. Well OK, VFX can be cool. But getting lost in music, in a darkened room with some intentionally disorienting VFX; or simply none, loud electronic music in a room with many people is already quite an experience... that's quite different from being at a festival or at a show like this, which looks more like a musical opera performance to me. For big room EDM, was there ever a time when it was not about laser shows etc? I mean there's nothing wrong with stage shows, pop music and lasers.
