#CairoGigs: 9 Times Our Love Affair with Smartphones Got Way, Way Too Real

Smart phones are ubiquitous these days – even on stage. Whether we’re checking in or checking out, there’s always a screen to be seen.

 

Sometimes the bassist needs to check his notifications before the gig…

 

 

…or the drummer during soundcheck

 

 

Sometimes you just want to make sure you remember the words

 

And everyone loves to take pictures of the band

 

 

Sometimes we just really want to capture the moment

 

Then there are the moments we just have to capture on video…

 

 

 

 

…and the times our battery dies and we grab our friend’s phone

 

And what could be cooler than taking a selfie with your favorite band?

 

 

But let’s be honest: the best moments of the show are always the ones where we put down the smart phones and let the music surround us in a way we can never feel through a screen
