I don't get to a lot of footy games, but I was lucky to be at Chad Wingard's MOTY game. It was incredible. What an experience.
Now imagine if I just happened to be randomly filming at the time. My hands around a phone, looking through a screen. Then it happens, the crowd goes wild, and I can't see s**t, and the video is wrecked. Would I go back and live it through that recording more than I watch the broadcast quality highlight?
So, I can say with no hesitation, it was far better to be enjoying the footy for real, with my eyes, and ears, and my hands free, and to be able to share that with people around me doing the same, hugging and high fiving strangers and just being ecstatic with everyone else, and not making the moment about me.

I've got some clips from gigs (30s or so not the whole song) and occasionally I'll be scrolling through shit and play them. Takes me back there. I get the "being in the moment" thing, but also I can't remember shit about some guy I went to 10-15 years ago.
Watching a clip is a good memory trigger to be like ah yeah I remember I was standing there near the stage and they played this and blah blah.
