Are fans allowed to take pictures or record shows?
It all depends on the venue, of course, but fans usually are allowed to take photos. As for recording, probably not, due to the fact that many venues do not allow videotaping or tape recording of their concerts. It’s a good idea to contact the venue before you go to see what is allowed. Please be advised that if you do record shows, more fans are usually willing to trade merchandise or B-sides for bootlegs, rather than purchase them. This is because the band will never see any of the money gained from bootlegs, and some fans do not feel right purchasing something the band will never benefit from.
