Camera policy

Does anyone know how strict arenas have been about cameras? My ticket specifically says "No cameras/recording devices" but I've seen a ton of videos on YouTube and pictures from concerts floating around.

This concert's been 15 years in the making for me, so I'd like to know if I'll be able to document it somehow.

So, I've given the album some serious alone time....

It hurts me to say it, but the album just isn't that good. Too much filler, not enough killer, to borrow from Sum 41 (of all people!). The first 6 songs are all really good, of varying degrees (for some reason, I really love Troublemaker). Heart Songs is probably my favorite song, as far as lyrics go -- strange when you consider he's referencing the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Eddie Rabbit. Some of the deluxe content is good too; Miss Sweeney is great, and the chorus is totally Suzanne. And I really like "It's Easy". But there just isn't that much that's too terribly memorable. The last 5 albums I really enjoyed, and could easily point and say "this track was IT!", but that factor is just not there. It's good, and I will listen to it a lot, but in my opinion...it's probably the lowest album they've ever made.

But that's not an insult. They've just set the bar so incredibly high its hard to measure up.

(no subject)

so this post is for any thoughts on the new album...
i was talking to the guy at the store and he said he wasn't too sure about it because he felt let down by make believe.
what are your thoughts on it?

Edit: after listening to it. i cant really say its bad. its really "different" then what the band has perviously done. this is the first record that someone other than rivers sang and wrote for the record so its again different. some songs are great some are okay... i guess it all depends on how you look at it...
