Picture of Difford and Tilbrook playing Hourglass since I didn’t take a picture of the guy who paid an admission fee to sit in a loud room and do crosswords on his phone.

    I’m sorry. Squeeze is such a fun show! Sometimes shit happens - this was my view at Weezer in 2010.

      I don’t mind someone doing whatever on their phone out of sight. But this shit drives me insane. You won’t watch that damn video ever again in your life, stop ruining it for everyone else!

      And he will never really watch those videos more than one time. Which means it would have been better not filming and enjoying the performance right there, in better quality.

      That would have pissed me off so much if it was last night because Squeeze is one of my favorite bands and I’ve wanted to see them since I was in elementary school.

      There was another guy a few rows down capturing video with his lights on. Thankfully, he only did it a couple of times for about 30 seconds, but I felt bad for all the people he was shining that light on, and another lady who thought no one could see or smell the huge cloud from the vape she was “secretly” bending down and hitting every few minutes. This was in an indoor theater. I’m glad there were no kids around.

      Why are people so damn inconsiderate of others?

        We were at a concert recently and i loudly said, “hold your phone in front of your face so you’re only messing with your own view.” The guy in front of me and his buddy did stop holding it up over their heads for a bit.

            Well, my husband held his phone up so i said it to him loudly enough for the guys in front of me to hear.

          Yeah if I take photo/video I put the camera in front of my face or chest so no one behind me can see it.

      Infuriating. I’m thankful honestly when I’ve been to shows that force you to put your phone in a secured container that you cannot access during the show. Makes it a million times better
