can you record a live concert? if the band says it ok

[lotust]

The Concert performers say they dont care if people record there music or if we take pictures , But on the ticket stubs it says NO PICTURES OR CAMCORDERS.

Its the dave mathews band BTW. Its at madison square garden

 

[IBhacknU]

Those tickets are generic...

listen to the band and the promoters!

 

[loogie]

Yeah, Dave mathews band encourages bootlegging or something.

 

[vi edit]

The hardest part will be getting it by security. They are usually very strict about what you can and can't bring into a concert. They tend to frown upon large, heavy objects that could cause brain damage if thrown.

Of course, a Dave Mathews concert will be a little different, than say, a pantera concert, and security may be a little more lax for DMB

 

[lotust]

good input guys . I think I need the legal stuff on this matter. I dont know where to find it. I want to stick it in the face of the first madison square garded worker who says something to me.


man this mini disk kicks @ss. I have a real crappy MIC hooked up that sounds awsome I cant wait to get a real good MIC and test it out.

well I guess I found it
Taping Policy

Dave Matthews Band allows audiotaping at almost every live performance. We feel that each show is unique and want to offer our fans the opportunity to recreate the live experience through the audio reproduction of our shows. At all taping authorized performances, tapers can tape from any ticketed seating location in the venue. Also, for many of these performances tapers are able to purchase tickets for a specially designated taper section, normally located immediately behind the soundboard. No soundboard or power feeds are provided.

Taping is limited to audio-only. We sincerely appreciate all of our fans, so we ask that you please be considerate of those around you by not obstructing anyone else's view of the performance.

When taper tickets are available for a particular show, they are released concurrently with general seating tickets. To obtain designated taper tickets, contact the venue's box office.

All recordings must be used for personal use or trading only. Selling or commercializing any recording is illegal and will jeopardize taping privileges for everyone. Please read our Bootleg Statement for more information

In addition to helping fans recreate the live experience, we hope tape trading will foster greater interaction within the fan community. Any method of trading that does not involve personal fan interaction defeats the spirit of this goal of the taping policy and is not authorized.

well I hope this will work. I have printed this out for any one who question my taping my recording.

I suppose posting your recordings on Napster is another thing all together.

Well, that's nice and all, but if it turns out the MSG staff decides people can't bring in recording devices, they aren't going to care about what someone's printed off the web. I'd think once you're in you won't have any more hassles. What I'd recommend is just making sure what you bring is small enough to have under your coat and not attract attention on the way in.

You just want to avoid any scene on the way in, because if they choose to hassle you, you aren't going to win.
