ALL OF THESE PHOTOS WERE DELETED BY SECURITY AND I RECOVERED THEM FROM MY FLASH CARD USING PHOTORESCUE SOFTWARE (http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue). IT WAS WORTH THE $36 CDN. BELIEVE ME.

Nice. Did security go right into the audience to find you? I think I saw that happen...I was actually sitting in the pit watching the show, likely right in front of you, judging by your photos.

totally. they grabbed me, and my roommate came with me, and took me back stage, yelled at me, deleted all my photos, BUT put us back in the audience in a better position for the rest of the show because i complained that they had ruined my whole night AND i had paid close to $100 for the two tickets for us to go.

other than that, it was an awesome show.

and i am so happy i was able to recover the photos.

there were high fives last night. believe me. hee.

your flash card is never empty unless it is completely reformatted. you just need the right software to extract the information.

Hope security isn't reading your bit about reformatting. Might give them ideas.

it's hard to completely reformat a card on the fly. they could actually try to take your memory card, but i don't think they can.

they only deleted my photos because i let them. if i refused, they would of kicked me out of the show.

"professional" cameras were apparently not allowed in, but the people at the door did not know much about cameras, they saw mine and said that it obviously "didn't have a removeable lense" (which it does, but i came with a prime lense only, no zoom).

so when the club promoter saw me with my camera, they actually thought it was a VIDEO CAMERA and that's why they pulled me backstage. they did not believe me when i said it took only stills. it was insane.

exposive laughter, I posted a link to this discussion in the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/messagepost.cfm?po staction=rep..., so you indirectly saved someone else's photos as well with your photorescue testimonial.

As a final irony, I had a card die on me Saturday, and bought and downloaded photorescue for myself, and retreived the images.

anyone that i know that has an SLR camera asked me for the link to the site too, "just in case".

it's just another reason why digital is better than film, at times...
