A rock and roll concert i think there are flashes going off all over the place. A professional theatrical production, summer stock included sneaking more than one shot would be inappropriate. At out concert halls and all the ones I've ever seen any one shooting pictures during just about any kind of "concert" would be pounced on by the ushers and gleefully thrown out. Which is the way it should be if you ask me. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
