Did anyone else go to the stones concert? I was worried that they were going to be some really old guys trying hard, but nothing could be further from the truth. They still have it, especially Mick.

Of course I have a photos. Bad photos taken with the little cannon A80, hand held, long exposures. But at least it proves I was there! :lol:

These are the "abstracts" cut from the general blurry backgrounds

Only when he's a member of The Rolling Stoned... *boom-tish*-I'll-be-here-all-week-try-the-veal!

Wow! after seeing those shots I want to go to the next concert!

Seriously though, it's very difficult to shoot in that environment from any sort of distance. Especially when you're trying not to get noticed. Did they have a photography ban?

Yes, it says "no cameras or recorders" on the melbourne show tickets. That's how it was for their 2003 tour also.

I was there too! but up in the stands. Don't have my coolpix right now, so didn't get any photos. Excellent show though, really quite a performance!

I wouldn't be too concerned about this provided you don't take in a SLR. From up in the stands you could see a sea of glowing LCDs down on the ground level seats, stacks of flashes going off and so on. Security were more interested in telling the pissed guy to stop standing up and dancing on his seat rather than harassing people taking photos nearby.

Yep - that's my story and I'm sticking to it

Daniel is right - there were dozens of people around me taking photos with their phones and security didn't care.
