As a fellow concert goer, I generally hate that people do this. I think it's distracting to everyone. However, I'll admit I think someone should record the best moments. I think it's better to enjoy the music and show rather that spend the effort to try and properly catch it. Not only that, but even at events which have been professionally or at least well recorded, I rarely go back to watch the video later. How much video you shoot do you actually go back and watch?

What I find distracting is the 7 foot tall guy who always decides to stand right in front of me. People recording bits with their cell phones don't bother me. Generally, I don't hold the camera over my head, so that if your view is not blocked by the back of my head, it won't be blocked by my iPhone. As to how often I go back and watch the clips, that would depend on how much I like the band. If I had been able to record Kate Bush perform in 1979, there was a time in my life when I'd probably watch it every day! I recorded two whole Marina & the Diamonds concerts and a bunch of clips, and I watch them from time to time. Also, 19,131 people on YouTube have watched one of the M&tD concerts my friend and I recorded. As for Kate Nash, I'll definitely watch the clips again, and I have some friends who will want to see them. I also occasionally go back and watch these clips I took of Sade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqdS-4J1_KY 333 other people have watched it.
