WASHINGTON, DC – A group of fans struggled their way to the foot of the stage at the 9:30 Club last night in order to watch the entire two-hour performance of their favorite band through their smartphone camera apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The view was spectacular!” exclaimed Julie Downs, wearing the tour t-shirt of the band she was there to see. “It was really hard to get a spot this close, but the experience of getting to hold up my smartphone camera for the entire show without anyone else\u2019s phone screen blocking mine was totally worth it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band and the venue actively discouraged recording of the concert, but many fans believe recording and posting about it is the most important part of watching live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing to a concert is cool,” said Downs. “But what\u2019s even cooler is for all your friends on social media to see that you were at a concert and to have the same experience you did by watching the whole show in 3 minute clips filmed in iMovie.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for Downs, she missed the entire second half of last night\u2019s concert when her phone battery died, forcing her to spend the rest of the night searching for a charging outlet. She was able to catch up on what she missed, however, once her boyfriend updated his Instagram page with his own footage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
