For the concert, all cameras functioned as advertised. Was not involved in the later "jam session" where they did pick ups. To shoot the concert, the cameras were staggered in their starting times so as to avoid all of the cameras running out of film at the same time (approximately 10 minutes). But, there can be a time when all are loading, as I recollect, that did not happen during the concert. It does require someone keeping close tabs on all cameras - a bit of a juggling task. Each camera had at least two magazines standing by to load, with runners taking exposed mags back to the loading booth to be reloaded and exposed film labeled and canned for the lab.
