^this with bells on
Why not just enjoy it with your eyes, and watch professionally recorded footage? Its convenient that everyone has a camera of some sort to hand now, but really, does anyone watch what they recorded / photographed again and again?
I remember seeing Underworld at Brixton Academy last year, and i was raving my tits off in a trance, but was surrounded by immobile pillars of people holding their phones up in the air like techno-zombies
Im probably being a bit hippocritical, as im quite snap-happy, but when it comes to events like gigs and shows, you just have to forget about the camera, and savour it in person.

100% with you all
Not a gig, but a couple of years ago I was in a small boat following whales around a bay in Antarctica. I got some great shots with my DSLR of them surfacing & diving. Then one came right up beside the boat to check us out... and I put the camera down. I remember thinking "No, watch this, because it's not going to happen again."
Could have been a stunning photo, but I don't regret not taking it.
