The only time I took a photo at a gig was Slayer, 5 or 6 years back, Brixton. Thought I'd take a quick pic of them from the pit against their inverted cross backdrop as they hit the first chord. Snapped and put my phone away and immediately got thumped in the back by a fellow mosher.
A few seconds later, realised my phone was gone, and there were a few other people on their knees in the pit trying to find theirs. Apparently, the pickpocket MO is to hit the pit hard and early, and sweep the phones before anyone gets their bearings. And there is a gang of pickpockets who target Brixton.
Serves me right for taking a photo.
