Warning heard all too often before concerts (no mobile phones, no photographs with or without flash, no video taping, no audio recording... anything) said first by a nice female voice in Spanish, then briefly in English by a male voice (quite blurred, maybe a recording himself). Please note: this was registered prior to a live show which (in my opinion) wasn't worth to be recorded anyway...
Credits: inspiration to record this came from a picture - and accompanying text- by freesounder 'mab' at:

Thank you Digi, so the English part of the announcement had been badly recorded, it was not my poor ear after all and... my short stealth recording sounds better than the one made by prohibitors! Which makes me quite happy :)

And about switching it off, I won't tell as it's irrelevant. I didn't like the music, you can draw a conclusion.

When I uploaded this sample I didn't intend to be daring, just wanted to play on the paradox of prohibiting something that cannot be effectively avoided. And a reflection: the warning is issued by default, regardless of what musicians may think or like. Why is this so? Will become a law in the near future?
Besides, I'm not much of a taper.

Well, you switched it off right after the warnings, didn't you ? :-)

Particularly as the English version was hard to heat at the end, he said something about "all the video equipment" didn't he? :)

...and a good thing I don't speak Spanish, my conscience is clear :)
