I checked with the band to see if they were going to allow taping at the show on Friday night. I knew Nel didn't want video taping at the vigil and I wanted to be sure.....Rogers got back to me with the following message:
"Sorry for the delayed reply and I'm glad you asked. We would prefer that this particular show not be taped as it is somewhat of an emotionally unusual gig and we'd like to keep it intimate and informal. See you there..."
I asked if that went for audio taping as well and he replied:
"I think it's best we don't tape this one... We never have a problem with tapers, but given the nature of this show, I think we'd rather just keep it in the room...."
I know some people here were talking about video taping so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up.

Can we bring a camera you think? I'll have my camera for before and after show snap shots but I am not going to be "that guy" holding the camera up mid show. On the upside, I am going to watch the show without even thinking about my camera during. Peace

I have a compulsion with taking pics at shows. I wil do my best to refrain but may take a few just to remember it by. I think it's going to be incredible and I'm so fortunate to be able to make it.

Peace I agree - I want to enjoy the show and not worry about pictures - but would like a few before and after - as you say.

Thats a great attitude - we are lucky to be able to make it and it won't bother me at all if you want to take pix - I my snap a few myself if I get too excited!

I am all for respecting the bands wishes but I wish they would reconsider. The exact reason that Rogers states he doesn't want it recorded is why I feel it should be. There are a lot of Melonheads emotionally invested in this band that just can't make it to the show. It would be so nice if they could experience it through a recording.
I really hope they take the people who can't make it there into consideration and change their mind.
Fortunately I will be there and I cannot wait!!!
I hope someone brings their gear just in case they do realize how much it would mean to everyone if we all could hear the show.

But oh well. Maybe they are going to have it taped and release it later. I doubt it but I can dream. I was really looking forward to experiencing it thru video though. I'm sad

i had originally wished they would tape it, id still love to be a part of it, but i totally understand. I guess this is something the band needs to do. As far as i know theyve never played a vigil, im sure its gonna be super emotional and they just want to save the experience and memory for themselves...guess next year ill just have to do a little better planning so i can be there. i love and respect blind melon and want them to do what they need to do.

I'd bring my gear just in case but I've already asked twice and been told no, so bringing the gear anyway would seem a little rude I think. I'm bummed that they won't allow taping at this one show but I completely respect their wishes.

I think there won't be a dry eye in the house Friday night.

He didn't say anything about no cameras.....but then again, I only asked about taping. I will ask him about cameras just to be sure.
