Bob, It would be nice to place the camera to where people are not walking or dancing in front of the camera. However, the folks filming the band are very lucky to even be able to film for free, let alone place the camera high enough so that people are not walking or dancing in front of it. 

In the first place, the band can only be filmed if all members of the band gives their permission. 

Secondly, raising the camera up high would interfere with folks in the venue who have paid money to see and hear the band. 

Remember, these are amateurs filming with amateur equipment. The farther away they get from the band, the less you will be able to see and hear of the band. 

By filming the band, copyright laws are probably being broken also, so the filming has to be kept somewhat inconspicuous. 

Most bands will let themselves be filmed as it is good advertisement for them to be seen all over the world. As a courtesy to them, it would be nice if you and others would purchase the band’s CDs. 

Best,

-Bob Ringwald

I'm very grateful to people who take the trouble to film concerts, and subsequently post the results on YouTube.
 
This means that I get to hear and see bands that I wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to experience.
 
However, there is one small fly in the ointment, viz. , people who are filmed walking between the camera and the band.
 
I studied one number being played, and counted 23 people who walked between the camera and the band. This gave an average of one person every 14 seconds.
 
If possible, therefore, I would ask that the camera be placed higher, to avoid this distraction.
 
Cheers
 
Bob Smith
