Can't Handle the Pressure?

Earlier today CountryMusicTattleTale.com had posted that Kenny Chesney's camp came up with a new policy that caused quite a stir.

"****Camera/Video Policy Change****
Hey Gang! Effective June 1st, 2009 folks will no longer be allowed to carry cameras into Kenny’s concerts. Cell phones and cameras with recording devices have made it impossible for us to honor our contractural obligations with our partners and record label of prohibiting recordings and such. The ones that have chosen to ignore all of the repeated request and warnings have left us with no other option but to enforce a NO Camera Policy at shows. As always, your bags will be checked at the door and you will NOT be allowed admittance with a camera in hand. To avoid long walks back to the parking lot, Please leave them in your vehicles. The security detail will be seizing any unauthorized cameras found inside the gates. Please help us make this transition an easy one. We know it isn’t an ideal situation, but our numerous request have gone unnoticed and this is our only way of stopping the unauthorized recording of Kenny’s shows it."

After I read that this morning i was, pretty much horrified. I remember going to a small concert with Jason Michael Carroll/Andy Griggs/Bombshel and they wouldnt allow cameras and well....it totally ruined the fun since i was 3rd row! They even confiscated cameras and not being able to document a fun time is well not fun! lol. I <3 taking pictures and even have mabe 14 photo albums of concert pics? but anyways besides the point later today Kenny Chesney World just posted an update after TONS of Kenny fans began to complain and call his management, etc about the issue. This was just released:

New message - Hey Gang! Want to clear something up! Yesterday, I posted a message…for 5 minutes tops at our message board ONLY. After posting, I received a call that they had decided to make a last ditch attempt to eliminate the recording of music at the shows and continue to allow cameras.

"Cameras will be allowed at the shows for STILL photos only! However, if you are caught videoing with your camera or your cell phone…you are subject to lose them. Please help us keep cameras at the shows….by not using the recording devices on your electronic devices. We will have increased personnel at the shows helping us out with this, so we ask that all of you please let your fellow fans know that videoing is not allowed….if you happen to see them doing it at a show.

This is an ongoing problem…and we want you guys to be able to have photos to carry home…but not videos! Thanks for helping us out with this…."

Whew! Thank goodness they changed their minds! Otherwise there would be ALOT of unhappy fans!
