Cameraman Doofus of the Year award?

Around 0:55 these... noises kind of stuff start coming out of the band, and try as he might, El Guapo here can't reconcile the idea that some lady with that... thing sitting there might have something to do with it. So we get a few closeups of the guitarist's hands while banging out chords, a few wild sweeps through the audience; maybe if that lady would move the damn thing so he could see backstage...

Austin? :eek:

Absolutely ludicrous... the presence of a camera in every phone gives everyone the idea that they are qualified to turn it on and record things. In this case it would have been better put to use for a DIY impromptu self-colonoscopy... pretty funny to watch the camera-person looking at Jimmie's guitar during the 'slide' solo.
Too much junk to list... always getting more.

Even if he didn't make out where the sound was coming from, he should have noticed her good looks :oops:
