Most rock concerts i have been to do not allow u to bring a DSLR. However they will let you bring a point and shoot. But this is a chamber orchestra playing at New York City Radio City music hall with Peter Gabriel singing on May 2nd. Would anyone know?
If your attempts to obtain permission fail, you have options. I don’t want to steer you into high risk. Just consider this and proceed cautiously.
If your seat is inconspicuously located you could use the DSLR without any added disruption that a point and shoot would present. Be aware of the people around you and walking the isles. I have seen ushers using those laser pin lights to signal to people doing things they want to discourage.
Separate the body and lens so they are smaller and conceal them. They have become very lax with searches. It used to be nearly impossible to get a camera into some concerts like Pink Floyd. You do not see many photos from the 70’s shows when they were known to have the most advanced stage equipment of the time.
At a chamber orchestra they will be very strict perhaps not allowing anyone to move to and from seats until breaks between numbers. I would not expect the visuals to be as compelling however with the absence of smoking. They will be very strict about cigarette and pot smoking. Even though Gabriel could have smoke machines providing atmosphere directly on stage the areas further out will not have sufficient fog for lasers and Vari-lites. I am just preparing you for a possibility. I recall waiting for Paul McCartney’s show to begin as they pumped enormous amounts of fog into the arena from the stage, and they were tolerant of cigarette and pot smoking even though all smoking is illegal indoors here. We are fortunate that the fog used is safer and more affective than the early days.
I saw Peter Gabriel a few years ago and he is very strong as a performer. He has genuine charisma with a crowd. The sound and stage is the best. I don’t think you could be disappointed.

There are some blocks in my work computer that dont allow me to listen to some radio/music sites like yahoo music. What are some alternatives?
Bring some CDs full of MP3s and listen to that. Or get a small radio to keep by your desk. Plug in a cable between the radio’s headphones jack and your PCs Line In jack. That way you can listen to the radio thru your PCs speakers. Speakers on small radios usually are junk.
I want to take photos of the Paul and Ringo reunion at The Radio City Music Hall? I know they probably won’t allow it. Any suggestions on taking photos?
I will be seated in the 1st Mezz area. Any suggestions on a zoom Lens for a Canon Rebel Xt?
Thanks
Various company’s made digi-binocs.. These looked like regular binoculars but had a digital camera built in. As you looked thru them, you could also snap pics..

Results 1 – 10 of about 9,170,000 for digital camera binoculars. (0.31 seconds).
I have borrowed them in the past from places I used to work and they have saved the day in getting pics where cameras were NEVER allowed. Some sporting events. Concerts. Adult events.. I even had security look at them asking about the ‘lens in the middle’ and the buttons and stuff and I told them their my laser range finder binocs for "hunting and / or shooting" and they said, ahh, OK, go on in..
Necessity is the Mother of Invention. They also make and sell video cameras mounted it the frame of glasses too……. Hmmmmm??!

Go forth, be stealthy, but be careful.. haha

I’ve heard of some displays where you can turn your radio to a certain frequency to hear the music that goes along with the blinking of the lights, etc. I’d love to see some of these. Thanks!
Beacause you didn’t put your lights up yet. You can do it if you feel it is needed or wanted then it is a very good project for you and your family
Happy Christmas
I’m 16 and want to become a radio presenter on something similar one day. What sort of course should i apply for at university. I already play a range of instruments and am quite good at using music software, so what should i study at uni?
you don’t need university. what you want to do is talk to the station manager of a radio station, get on the late night shift, make tapes of yourself, this will most likely be a non paid internship, BUT you will be doing what you wanna do and learning the industry, after a while and once your good at chatting with the callers and playing the music and running a show basically, start talking with the manager to switch shifts, or move to another station wanting a new daytime host, it doesn’t matter morning noon or night, cause that gig pays and you will have the chance to get a bigger audience at that point.. this is the easiest way, I hear many DJs tell people that a broadcasting degree is not needed for radio at all..just a personality.
also, for TV basically same thing, intern for a while and while there network and learn the industry, and then you move up from there. you won’t have to pay for a degree and you will already be in the industry you want.. during breaks talk to the musicians about their music, ask to jam with them, also, talk to the camera men, see if they will show you how to work the camera and offer tips…take full advantage, think of it as a non paid apprenticeship.. maybe one day a musician cannot make it to the studio and you might be able to save the day for them.. or get on gag skits like Ross the Intern who is now a TV personality for other networks and shows (he started interning on Jay Leno) and there have been other interns that have gotten their breaks.. it is all there for the taking, and it is all free at first.

I’d like to record an internet radio channel, radioio, and instead of using tapes, I’d like to put it on my hard disk and then compress it into MP3. I’m using Mac OS 10.4, iTunes and Garage Band.
I get radioio through iTunes.
