bob dylan, not a fan of audience phones .

Bob Dylan is a phenomenal songwriter, but when it comes to speaking to fans from the stage, we can say that he is a man of few words. However, this changed on Tuesday evening in Vienna. The crowd tried to take photos of the concert despite the strict “no photo” policy, which made Dylan stop the show and speak to the photo-snapping fans to call them out.

Reportedly, as Dylan and his band were playing Blowin’ in the Wind, smartphones in the audience started showing up. The famous singer got evidently infuriated and spoke to the fans, although I can’t clearly hear what he said. He then started moving away from the microphone, walking backwards. This made him trip over a stage monitor, causing him to nearly hit the floor.

After this, Dylan walked back to the microphone and said: “I’ll say it once again: take pictures or don’t take pictures. We can either play or we can pose. Okay?” He and the band stopped playing and posed for a while, and you can hear the crowd yelling “Play!”
