Easing the pressure of getting concert selfies | Letters

Robert Frazer and James Taylor respond to an article by Jason Okundaye on phone-filming at gigs

I confess that I was once one of the phone zombies whom Jason Okundaye rightfully criticises for obsessively recording concerts and performances (Do yourself, the world and me a big favour: stop phone-filming at gigs, 3 May). Eventually, however, I learned to put the phone away when I realisedthat if I was just watching through a screen, then what was the point in paying for a ticket? Imay as wellhave been sitting at acomputer at home.

Perhaps the way to solve this is for concerts to have a phone window" for a few minutes halfway through, where the band pauses and poses, and rattles off 30seconds' worth of popular riffs so that everyone can get their selfies and TikToks to confirm their presence for the Facebook update.
