"Musical History made at Hammersmith Apollo"

[AR]

Young person attends rock concert without attempting to record entire event on mobile phone

Musical history was made last night at the Hammersmith Apollo when a pop fan went to see Journey in concert and kept her mobile phone in her pocket for the entire duration of the show.

While all around her were holding up their camera phones to get a blurred picture of Journey in the distance or were recording the distorted sound of fans singing along, Melodicrock forum member Pam "Sunshine Twilight"opted to simply enjoy the experience in the present moment.

‘I just decided that the sound quality would probably be better on the Journey CD's I had at home’ said Pam who made the trip all the way from Maryland. ‘And that I could get better photos off the internet, and that the video quality on my little Nokia is on balance not as good as all the stuff on MTV that’s produced by professional video directors.’

Rock journalists believe that the radical stance taken by her could revolutionize the way fans approach live music. ‘This could herald the beginning of a movement in which people no longer go to gigs solely to record poor quality snippets to enjoy later,’ said Matt Koenig of the NME. ‘People will have to find another reason to go along and see live bands, though don’t ask me what on earth that might be.’

But for the time being Pam remains something of a novelty. So much so that half way through the concert, music fans stopped pointing their phones at the distant stage and started recording Pam's strange behavior to forward to their friends. ‘So I didn’t actually see what she was doing…’ admitted one concert goer ‘I was too busy fiddling with my phone, to try and capture the moment for later…’
