The spread of cameras to virtually every portable device has made clamping down on picture taking during concerts as practical as nailing Jello to a wall.  The Black Crowes, a band that has traditionally been very loose about allowing cameras and audio recorders into venues, is taking a touch stance against camera use - cell phones included - during the Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys tour.  The policy has brought out Crowes bashers on the Facebook page of the venue hosting the band Friday (8/27) in St. Louis.  Comments about the policy on the Pageant site include a few from people who like the idea of not having to try and enjoy the show through a sea of extended arms holding cell phones aloft.  Audio recording of shows is still fine with the band.
