Three Songs and Out

Singer Cee-Lo Green (Thomas Callaway) holds up a tamborine as Gnarls Barkley plays the 40 Watt Club in Athens on Tuesday, August 12, 2008.

Okay, first concert since March in Boston. This is Gnarls Barkley, a mix of producer Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) and Cee-Lo Green (Thomas Callaway).

They do a nice cover of the Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone."

So i enjoyed the three songs i was allowed to hear but myself and a couple of other photographers who had passes wondered aloud why we had to adhere to the rules but it looked like anyone with a dSLR could get it in, no problem. The guy with the nikon speedlight was pretty amusing, since we weren't supposed to be using a flash. Also amusing is the sheer number of point and shoot cameras that use a flash and produce high quality images.

So why are we being picked on? Because we follow the rules? Why was i limited to "Three songs and out. Camera must leave the building" if no one else was forced to adhere to it?
