"Put your phone in this pouch."

-- I don't have a phone.

"Put it in or you can't come in."

-- I don't have a phone.

"Last time I'm asking you nicely."

-- I don't have a phone.

"Ok, whatever, just go inside."

-- Takes out my phone and records Alicia Keys

More like

-- Takes out phone and swiftly gets escorted out of the venue by ushers/security.

This isn't a policy happening in a vacuum - musicians, comedians, and other performers are taking steps throughout their acts to clamp down on phone recording.

"Put your phone in this pouch."

-- Sure.

Continue to then use your watch to read email and record audio.

This is a tech race that Yondy will lose.

We now have the lamest reason ever to buy a burner.

Here's the thing - you don't get to choose how others best experience an event. While filming it through your phone may not be the best experience to you, you're not everyone. People experience things differently, and their way of experiencing it isn't "wrong".

It's not about me, it's about the artist, and I sure as hell hope they get a say in how an event gets experienced. That's part of the art.

He's saying give the security guy your burner phone as a faint. Then the security guy has no reason (and no excuse) to metal detect you and your real phone. Then you use your unpouched real phone to record the concert.

But the security guy is also looking for guns and knives and drugs - given the god awful murders of musicians recently isn't that a decent reason to search until "no more bleeping"?

That same thought came to me when I read the article, but from a different angle: I have a work phone and a private phone, so I could just give up the work phone and see if that's enough for them.

Or take a second phone, and you'll be fine.

You can even use it to record security as they're escorting you out of the event once you start using it to record the performance.
