Did someone even manage to enter in such a concert with all

And anyway, I will be quite far away, so would it be even worth the
try?
Back in 1983, I just carried mine in and nobody took notice.
(Hamburg, W. Germany)
I had Kodachrome64 in there and a long 200mm lens, as I figured I
would be very far back.
I ended up in the front, however!

Otherwise, one way that I managed to get gear in a lot of times was
to split things up - my brother would carry a lens (or two) and I
would have the body (a big K1000!) strapped to my inner thigh with an
"ACE" bandage. Once in the hall, we'd meet in a restroom or
something and I could assemble everything and just carry it under a
coat.
If anyone ever asked about the lens (or film) that he carried, he
could say "oh, that was for my brother's camera, but he had to go put
the camera back in the car". (We never went in right next to each
other if we thought there would be a problem).
Every concert ticket I've got states clearly that photography and
recording are not permitted, but that policy was rarely enforced -
thank goodness!
