Do you know what is the band's policy on cameras at gigs?

There are many pics around the net taken from recent and older gigs, so I'd suppose the band itself doesn't mind pics taken during shows? All the venues of course forbid any recording and filming equipment, but for instance, to the Darkness concert you could walk in with the camera in your hand and security said nothing (no need to hide it in pants or anything..).

Those of you who've been to Live's gigs before, how strict is the 'no cameras' rule? I'm going to London June 14th, does anyone know the venue's (Astoria) security policy on this matter? I'm travelling all the way from Finland for this concert, and will sure be disappointed if can't take any photos there..

Thanks in advance for the infromation!
