LIVE MUSIC... DIRECT TO YOUR COMPUTER



There have been 2 interesting stories in the news the past couple of weeks regarding live music and how you can consume it:

1. Billboard Live: Billboard, the industry leading magazine/company, will feature various concerts with multiple camera angles and in HD quality on their Live website.

2. Live Nation and Apple have teamed up to bring live content from Live Nation's many venues directly to Apple's iTunes. Live Nation has wired nearly 80 of its venues to record concerts, both video and audio. These shows will then be offered exclusively to iTunes for purchase. Some are already available for purchase including from artists such as Duffy and Ziggy Marley. More shows are soon to come.

Interesting. But I think Live Nation charges some ridiculous fees for their live shows. I wonder what sort of fees will accompany these online versions?

The sets I saw available online fell in line with typical iTunes pricing. Most of what I saw were 5 or 6-trk EPs priced around the $1 per track mark.
