Setlists and Cameras

prrthd · 10 Jul 2003, 22:06

Does anyone have setlists from the July 6 and 9th shows? Also, does anyone know if Meatloaf allows cameras in his shows. My understanding is that cameras are the artist's discretion, not the venue.

Testify PM'd Meat about cameras I think......
Meat has posted about the set list.

be worth doing a search i can't for the life of me think where these topics are at the moment

Testify · 10 Jul 2003, 23:05

how u know?? oh yeh i told you, he said to check with venue, but it seems ppl are always taking photos.

so it should be ok

There will probably be signs saying no photos or recording equipment, but pretend you're foreign or just choose to ignore them. Works for me

prrthd · 11 Jul 2003, 00:26

But not for the 2 shows since. Just wondering about variances.

As for cameras, I am seeing Meat on Aug 4 at my hometown performing arts center. Have 2nd row seats so I thought they would be great for picture taking. I e-mailed the manager and asked about pictures, and was told that it is in Meat's contract that no cameras will be allowed, but to call the day of the show as sometimes artists change their minds and decide to allow cameras. I was just wondering what the likelihood of Meat changing his mind would be.

I took my camera to both Leeds and Liverpool last year. It is an APS with zoom lens. Got some cracking shots from 2nd row back. My husband was advised by some other fans to take his rather larger camera back to the car which he did! Put my camera in my bag, lots of people were taking snaps but it was outside in the Millenium square, so maybe that's different.

Took my camera to Liverpool also, but was too far away for any reasonable shots. A couple in front had a digital camera, they seemed to be getting some good pictures. Don't know what Meat thinks about it though, but I love the photo's I got.

I noticed that about people taking pictures too .. but I'm always afraid I'll miss something if I stop to take a photograph :)

I would definitely check with the venue .... last year when I went to the New Brunswick State Theater in New Jersey, they searched my pocket book and confiscated my 35mm camera. They put it in the unlocked cloak room .. and thankfully it was still there when the show was over!

Conceal your camera when going in. Don't put it somewhere obvious like in a bag, tuck it down trousers, under baggy jumpers, in inside coat pockets if small enough. They'll only find it then if they body-search you but lots of venues don't do that, though they may do a bag search. Combat pants are ideal! Lots of big pockets that can hide all sorts.

And when taking photos inside, just try to be quick and - if your camera can do it and will still take decent pix - switch the flash off. Usually works! Good luck...

thats my plan!! hehe

ROSIE · 11 Jul 2003, 18:29

Hi I'm taking my tiny digital camera to Wemblet and I'll let the software do the rest, its so small I can hide it anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to think of it, I wish I had thought of that. When I saw him in concert it said no backpacks or cameras right on the ticket. I had a bag with me that had a Morrissey poster in it and they let me bring that in but no camera, go figure? I was 5 rows away from the stage so it would've made for good photos, but security watches you, they probably would've thrown me out.

ROSIE · 11 Jul 2003, 20:33

I'd like to see them try!!!!!!!!

Rosie

Testify · 11 Jul 2003, 22:36

If they see you do that just fall to the floor and crawl to the row in front or behind!!

heat · 11 Jul 2003, 23:35

I've started buying films for my camera already!!!!!

I took mine to Cardiff last year and there were people selling those throwaway ones to take in, people evenn brought thier own camcorders in too - wish i'd thought of that

ROSIE · 12 Jul 2003, 00:01

I think my camcorder is a little too big to conceal, even surgically!!!!!!
I'll stick to digital

Rosie

prrthd · 12 Jul 2003, 00:11

I will try to take my digital. Gotta try to figure out how to shut off the flash though. I think it is automatic

meatfan · 12 Jul 2003, 02:16

Ahhh! I also remember now - at Leeds they were also selling the throw-away cameras - yet some fans said photo's were a "no-no". Took my camera, got some lovely pictures - see previous post.

You can always try to get a camera inside.... I know that in AMsterdam, it wasn't a real problem... and we took some great pictures (as can be seen on michel and my site).

Renegade Angel · 13 Jul 2003, 21:09

What about if you are going to a meet and greet before the gig and you want to have your picture taken with Meat?
