Justin letting only one person record in their phone is just brilliant. It saves the performance for archival purposes whilst still getting folks to enjoy the actual show. 10/10, best phone ban I’ve ever seen in my life

@davidwicksmusic Жыл бұрын

He did this in Melbourne too and as soon as everyone put their phones away the entire vibe changed and the whole crowd was finally enjoying the show in the moment, not through their phones.

Greatest fake voice of all time. It’s all falsetto pretending to be Freddie Mercury. This was the end of rock… in the 2000s… when they pumped this crap over radio to try and force everyone into thinking it was good.

Can't say that I've ever been a "fan" of The Darkness or Justin, but man, that guy is a prime entertainer... and his admonishing of the crowd and appointment of Nick as "official" photog is something every concert should do as a rule... give a leg up to some random person in the crowd, and make a move back to why we all started to go to shows in the first place: the communal sharing of a performance. Plus, Justin's YT channel is a damn good one.

Martin from Boyslikegirls has been doing this since the 10 year tour of their debut album. He'll do verse chorus of the great escape, stop, make sure everyone got their snappy chats and Grammy grams, then have everyone put their phones away ND restart the song. 99% compliance, but there's always that 1 asshole that films anyway.

Absolutely love Justin Hawkins and the Darkness, and this moment in particular. So many people forget to get lost in the moment because they are too busy recording a ‘live’ moment to watch on TV after the event. Put the phones away and lose yourself, and make the memory that you can reflect on. So good to see Justin stop this and start again with everyone in the moment, and what a difference it makes…

Wouldn’t it be great to have no phones at all at concerts .

@NinStardust Жыл бұрын

The respect for Justin from the crowd is incredibly heartwarming. You could argue that if they really respected the band then they wouldn’t have had their phones out in the first place, but the fact that everyone put their phones away the second Justin asked is just beautiful. 💖 The atmosphere looks phenomenal without phone screens all over the place!

@STSGuitar16 Жыл бұрын

My personal proto for filming at a concert is that I like to take two to three pictures from my seat just so I can remember where I sat and what it looked like around me and all that, and _maybe_ one ten or fifteen second video of any random portion of the show. After those two things, which takes about 30 seconds to accomplish tops, I put the phone totally away and just try to be entirely present within that moment. I want to experience the show with every fiber of my being. However, I really do appreciate having a couple snapshots and a clip or two of the show just for posterity sake. You'd be amazed at how easily you can transport yourself back to a concert just by seeing your POV from your seat, and that's really all you could ever ask for and need. Anything more than those few establishing shots is just a total waste in every way. You're never going to go back to listen to a full live song that you videoed at a concert. Never. Just get your posterity shots and enjoy the show how it's meant to be enjoyed!
