Keith Jarrett through a lens darkly

I've posted a few complaints about mobile phones ringing during concerts myself. But how about this from Keith Jarrett at a recent concert in Italy?

With thanks to Jack Reilly for the heads-up.

Via.

As Igor Stravinsky
once said - Everyone who is creating does harm to something.

I think King Crimson's Robert Fripp would applaud the intent behind Mr. Jarrett's rant, if not the colorful language. :-) I've seen Mr. Fripp refuse to do encores because, despite clearly posted signs and warnings before the show, someone still did flash photography 10 feet from the stage.

Cameraphones are a plague at rock concerts now.

Thanks for the link, Pliable.
