@@antera77 thanks, but why weren't the arm hair, horn ups, fists and jewelry of the fans not in focus and not blurring the performers?

@@rockmusicvideoreviewer896 Because WDR Rockpalast had a real budget, with multiple cameras positioned high enough and/or close enough, seemingly often with gimbal stabilization. And the incredibly cool crane - jib! Even then, many of the crane shots have raised arms blocking significant parts of the shot. See the Rockpalast video at 14min 51sec, 15m 13s, 15m 47s etc. Rockpalast had the luxury of cutting to another camera when the crane shot is blocked by arms/horns. Single-camera Bozo fans like me LOL without front-row access, don't have that option. My bigger complaint is that much of the potential of excellent hardware and personnel and vantage points, is canceled by constant jump cuts, zero content shots (ZCS) like backs of heads and audience shots, cut-off heads of guitarists, and cutaways from cool solos to irrelevance like those ZCS. Rockpalast could be doing things in the edit that accentuate the performance -- like split-screens for dueling guitar solos, and at least attempts at composing a pan and/or zoom. The crane shots do pan/zooms beautifully, but most of the time they're so far back you can barely resolve the performers. It ends up being mainly for atmosphere. Rather than accentuating interplay between the performers, for example. I absolutely love when I happen to get a cool pan/zoom from a singer finishing a part, direct to a guitar solo starting. I assume they didn't do more of this, due to not having the time or budget to spend 2 to 10x as long on editing -- rather than simply not being interested.
