I know that RCA had been extremely fussy when it came to any kind of videotaping at a concert to be posted or even to be used personally when Bo Bice was touring. They would have your camera taken away or you even would be asked to leave or both. I never tried it, but I have friends who did.

Clay has come to encourage video and pics at concerts, unless the venue forbids it; then he requests that we follow their wishes(and even then, if he catches someone, he sometimes makes comments about it.) I saw him in summer 2005 at Wild Adventures in GA., and the local radio hosts who were there came on stage to "introduce him." They said that normally, that was the time when they would tell the crowd no pics or video, but that Clay said we could take as much as we wanted.
A few times, security has said something to someone, only to be told by Jerome and Clay's people that it was fine.
Last summer, he even took a camera from one of our regular videographers, and took video of the audience.
He's been known to go online, with his backup singers and other people who work with him, and watch videos and montages that we make. In fact, one of his backup singers, Quiana, has a fan video of the two of them doing an impromptu duet of Listen on her MySpace page.
His one concern is flashes at some of the concerts. They really bother his eyes, and irritate some of the others on stage, especially the orchestra members(when he has performed with one.)
So, take all that for what it's worth. I have never been a fan of anyone else enough to know how it works for/with them. Just relating what my experience has been with Clay. How that relates to RCA, I have no idea.
I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. I'm really hoping for footage from at least one AI concert, since I can't go!
