Just received this from our DDE contact:
Just spoke with Dave and he wanted to make sure every one knows the band is totally ok with people video taping at the shows during tour.

That's cool. They obviously want to show off their production. I wonder if this is the tour we get an official DVD from?

Please ask them to be sure the security in the stands is aware of this policy.
Ahem, we have extensive experience in this area

That's cool. I like to take pictures and record small segments of the show for my own personal enjoyment, not even complete songs usually. I really have no desire to post, sell or share my stuff with anyone in a way that is harmful to the bands I love.

I'll be honest, after watching those fan videos from the Forum show, I missed a lot of stuff because I was texting or taking pictures... Or at least trying to, the cell reception sucked in there....
I won't be doing that in Greensboro....
I won't be filming at any of the shows I attend. I want to see everything.
I guess this also means HD camcorders are allowed too ??
I'm tired of watching concert clips on YouTube shot with a calculator. I'm going all out with 3-chip, 1080p/60 this time, mother-bitches!

As long as the venues are made aware of this we are golden. The last tour gave us a ton of exceptional DVDs, some with multi-cam no less.. If there's no sneaking around I imagine we'll get professional quality shit in the coming weeks!

Gee, I've got a month and a half to break open my digital camera that can video tape as well. It's going on four years since I bought it and I can't seem to find the time to even learn how to use the damn thing. It's still in the box other than last year when I got one of those sticks to put in it for more photos....My life has been full of distractions since the year 2000. Where have all the good times gone? My bad times have to be my good times for now. I hope I can at least snap some photos. Thanks Diamond Dave your a real dazzler! Got me on pins and needles and he knows.......Can't wait for the show! I'm gonna wear my matching black shoes with the glitter stars on them just like his shirt!

Oh and it figures that back in 1988 when Dave pulled me up onstage and dipped me over that year, they apparently didn't shoot videos. I had gone to a record show many years later and at a bootleg table I asked the guy if he had any videos of that particular show and that's what he said, "They didn't video tape in 1988." I was like, "WHAT?" But yet I got some bootleg Van Halen tapes from the early 80's that day. It didn't make an ounce of sense to me...After all 1988 seemed to be the height of the video era. Or was it really fading by then? I should still try to find it somewhere out there on internetland. That would be so cool to have that! I remember it as if it were yesterday....especially since I had a dream of it the week before it actually happened! I've got witnesses to my testimony who were at the show that night. Dreams do come true every now and then.
Like most folk here I want a official live DVD !! Now is the time while this band is smokin hot

...the generosity and graciousness of Van Halen 2012 and Diamond Dave Enterprises continues...
stellar...
Now, somebody get a good quality multicam recording with soundboard quality audio...
I'll be too busy watching the show....

Waaahhhh! This just makes not being able to make a show that much worse! I need to win a fucking lottery...soon!!!
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
There will always be someone else recording the show better than yourself and a sane person only needs the best recording from the tour or maybe the best couple.
I wish those hundreds of people that stand there all the way through gigs with their arms in the air pointing their phones at the stage for the whole gig would just fuck off and get a life. Ten seconds of footage to send to your pals to gloat about where you are is more than enough.
The recent recordings at the preview shows were an exception because they had a novelty value, the people from the site(s) were there in a kind of journalistic capacity and there were far fewer people at the shows.
Life is in the moment.
It always reminds me of being on a helicopter flying into the Grand Canyon and the other 5 people were all peering into their video camera lenses which in those days were little black and white things completely missing out on the experience itself. For what? To make a shitty video they will only watch once which is identical or worse than 1000 other videos they could also never watch again on the internet.

Cool - love to see Dave and the band reaching out to the fans for even the little things like this. I always pick a song at each concert and try to make one decent recording. Otherwise, I like to be in the drunken moment and just enjoy the rock and roll atmosphere and not miss a thing.

I was thinking more along the lines of better able to see from the nosebleeds because of having the ability to use the zoom on the camera, lol.
Can someone please tell the Gestapo at Madison Square garden that the band is cool with this? Otherwise I'll play it safe and shove my digital recorder down my pants......easier to apologize then ask for permission.

Hey VA, can you get word to DDE that it's great that Van Halen "says" to go ahead and bring cameras to the shows, but we need to know that venue security will allow us to bring cameras in the joint.
I was actually going to start a thread asking if cameras were going to be allowed, based on the serious DSLRs you can see people shooting with from the Forum show.
We need to know that security knows cameras ore ok.
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
This should be interesting... I believe it's the venues that set the policy on what you can bring in... not "the singer".
At best they may allow small digital cameras with fixed lenses... but even some venues won't allow that.
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
Yeah but my tickets still says: The use of cameras, tape recorders and camcorders is also prohibited... I doubt security will look beyond that... I also believe its the venue that sets the rules.
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
And here I was thinking it was the promoters at the direction of the artist who dictated policy at venues... Last show I went to the metal detector wand went off at my hip pocket, I pulled out my cell phone (nestled against one of my many Jacks Daniels bottles) and showed it to him. "I thought it was a cell phone he said"- and in I went, Jack in tow Need to make sure I find some plastic lids for the airplane bottles before the next show...

Zing's Tour Tip of the Day: Buy one of those under armor pair of shorts for baseball/softball (kind of like a jock but also under wear - mine are Reebok - I think for hockey) that have the little slot in the crotch for a cup. Perfect for sneaking in booze/video equipment (just not at the same time...you need to decide what's more important). You can fit a good fifth of Jack in there and/or a good sized camera. Anyone dares to frisk you down there - preferably a hot Event Staff chick - and all you have to do is smile broadly and give her a knowing wink. Works wonders - I haven't bought a water-downed venue drink in decades.
I've told DDE about making sure Security knows about the videos, etc.... She said, "I'll tell DLR".....
So let's see what happens in Louisville... If there are problems with Security, I'll revisit the issue with them....
We had a couple go-rounds with the Madison Sq Garden Nazi's on Tuesday night. They didn't want to let me go see my dog after she won - and another girl got kicked out of her seats for wanting to go to the bathroom. Also somebody got kicked out for whistling too loud! And of course PETA got kicked out! Yay on that one.

If you're thinking about showing up at the gig with a Nikon DSLR or a mixing board, maybe you should print out this thread and show it to security when they tell you to bring your shit back to the car... I'll be the guy chuckling as I walk past your scene.
