Diabetes.
None that require you to hold the phone up in the air and block someone else's view though.

Although Dylan seems put off by a sea of mobile phones, he was less concerned by a sea of lighters for his 1974 live album "Before the Flood"
I was at Dylan´s Blackbushe airport gig in 1978, which a quarter of a million attended, and it´s still the biggest crowd I have ever been in.

Why does diabetes need a phone? I often go out without a phone.

I have a cheese grater in the dishwasher.
The one Dylan gig I did go to (St James Park in Newcastle, 1984), I got the distinct impression he thought he already had and was pissed of that we’d turned up anyway.

To phone biscuit deliveries if you get a hypo.

I'm not clear how it works but some diabetics can monitor their blood sugar via a phone app. It's the one and only excuse we accept for seeing a phone on school grounds.
And we still get other kids, who know full well that Kid A is diabetic and allowed to use a phone in school, bawling, 'sir sir, Kid A is using a phone'. The little rat bastards.

It seems to link to a sensor worn on the body. And having worked with T1 diabetics and knowing kids at least as well as you do I reckon Kid A only needs to check occasionally, will get an alert if something is wrong, is mostly on Snapchat and Kid B has a point.

Dylan walks out on stage! And rolls his eyes.

I've seen Dylan 3 times.. the first at Wembley Arena - back in 1987/88, the second at Finsbury Park 2004 and a final time at Brixton Academy 2005..
Each time was not that great. However at Wembley he played a couple songs off The Times They Are a'Chaging which I'd not heard at the time, and were pretty amazing... The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll and that Ballad song..

For me, if you're in the distance, it feels like you're watching other people watching a show.

I've seen gig wankers you folks won't believe. Why pay money to chat on your phone all night or drink yourself silly and miss the performance?

While we're at it, a blanket ban on cars and motorbikes. They create loads of pollution (noise and exhaust fumes) and kill and maim lots of people each year.

I think that there should be a blanket ban.
Blankets are the cause of many woes.
If there were no blankets, then suspects could not be hidden under them as they left police vehicles and entered police stations, and millions of television viewers could falsely claim to have seen a suspect commit a crime, which would make convictions a lot easier to obtain.
If there were no blankets, then there would not be people picnicking in parks, and leaving behind rubbish.
If there were no blankets, then people would need more heating in their homes at night, thereby increasing sales of gas, oil, and electricity, giving a massive boost to the economy, and increasing the GDP.
Or, of people did not wish to turn on their hearting, a lack of blankets may cause them to snuggle up with others, which would be very sociable indeed.
Lucky people may have the opportunity to snuggle up with Bob Dylan, as long as they foreswore the use of telephones or smart watches in the darkness of his night.

Like to take a cement fix
editor - (re: watch recording picking up people around you) So does the phone recording. Even if you stick your arm up to video (or just get sound on the watch), you're still going to get the surrounding ambient noise (people). "The only time it will work out" would be the artist is the one recording and you've got an AV crew working real cameras in the audience (the flying craned cameras they use at events for documentaries or what not). Even the basic ones used for the stage screens would work if it were tied into a recording box. I was lucky enough for the couple times I made recordings at concerts, I didn't get people's nonsense on film because I was in a row by myself because people tend to shift forward towards the stage. I have gotten a few people with their phones in the air on camera though, proving I wasn't the only one at the time filming.
If you're far enough away to notice the sound and vision don't match, just close your eyes and pretend you're closer? How good is your eyesight and how big is the screen????
That's mis-managed cabling and too many cables being run together from two points. Plus, the signal from the equipment used gets weaker the wider the space (as well as what type of space it is - cement building vs outside vs wooden shack). When I worked for a world wide AV company, we had to use antennas at some of our bigger events because the receiver at the audio desk needed the extra oomph to make the production run flawlessly. Plus, we had a heck ton of cables running due to needing various equipment. Every piece run wanted to be front and center. Things happen.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Was at The The last night and they asked that people keep their phones in their pockets, just then the inevitable monstrous beanpole that was plotted up right in front of me whips his out, camera on ready to record, he held it like that for about 15 minutes waiting for the moment he wanted to record. I waited around 10 seconds after he pressed the button and barged the cunt, he nearly dropped the phone, the shot ruined, my work done I retired to the bar.

Why did you not ask him to put the camera away?

Tourette's is. It's the only thing that makes me believe there might actually be a god.

My ex colleague with tourettes disagreed. It took him way longer to hit the level he did than without ticks. Given this was a while back and also the place that would give you a shot for it 25 years ago. Got some industry award at some point. Excellence in the field or similar.

It's really not. I have quite a bit of experience of young people with TS and it can be really horrible to live with. The sweary ones can be funny but I think that's only 10% of TS. Most people with TS just have lots of tics and are often socially ostracised for them.

I'm sure the ticks are horrible to live with, and those with the disease do have my sympathy, but if I had TS I'd definitely want to be in that 10%.

Back in the day my band played a gig and some friends were recording it on a tape recorder. Immediately after we finished you could hear them carry on their conversation as if nothing had happened. "So I saw Cammy on the bus and he was wasted, haha!" A fitting tribute to our musical prowess :-D

Wow, those Dylan concerts sound wild
