I have to agree with Joe on leaving the phone in the gigbag/car. That's the way I go about it, mostly because I'm scared that I'll do what this guy most likely did-simply forget to turn my phone off. It could've happened to me countless times.

So, I guess I feel sorry for this guy or girl. In a Steve Bartman sort of way.

So yeah, I'm all for not having a performance interrupted after spending good money to hear what is one of the world's great orchestras play an interesting work. But criticizing the offender and praising the conductor is pretty much shooting fish in a barrel at this point. In short, sh%t DOES happen from time to time.

Also, most people who clap between movements do so because they aren't familiar with a piece. Give them credit for showing up. The sun still rises in the East.
