These type of things are weak,..first of all it’s a frickin video..newsflash you are not at a Zeppelin concert

Second of all it’s been out on dvd and blue ray for like a decade

I  don’t find myself that bored..if I did I might watch one of my many dvds (Floyd at Pompeii comes to mind) before doing this stupid stream “event”

I mean are people that bored and desperate to latch on to this? Aren’t there a billion live videos on YouTube anyone can watch?

First one of these paid ones I’ll do is the American Weekend one. Missed all shows on that tour and it’s an all timer for me.

Dean and Britta

Britta and I are doing another live gig (about an hour in length) from our living room – this Saturday May 30 at 6pm on on the West Coast (9PM EST). After exploring various options (IG, Facebook, Youtube, Twitch, StageIt) we are trying out a new platform called Veeps which seems to have the highest quality stream and is easy to use. We will play a mix of songs from our extensive catalog. REQUESTS WELCOME. If you miss the show Saturday night, you still have till the end of June 1 to watch a playback. Tickets are $10 and available here https://deanandbritta.veeps.com

Does not bode well for music concerts if some of this speculation is corroborated

Sorry if this is depressing Sweetcell

A local yacht rock cover band with a huge following — truly the most damning condemnation of Richmond ever — is trying this in two weeks. Chuckleheads are paying $100 per car, more if they want VIP parking. I am full on old man smh over it.

I can't say I didn't struggle with that question.

hey, it's a show, right?  right?

Wish I could find my post…but I called it…this is the future of concerts

Nothing new here…

I kind of think local venues will reopen by late July but initially at 50% capacity…maybe that’s just wishful thinking

Not sure how seats would work? Empty rows between seated rows? Will people have to wear face coverings? Face coverings in summer kind of suck and make drinking kind of hard…and we all know music venues make their profit on drinks

is opening at 50% capacity with people wearing face coverings even viable?

All the shows I was interested either got cancelled or pushed way back

the question of the economic feasibility of limited/reduced capacity is the elephant in the room, IMO.  pre-covid, the vast majority of restaurants were operating on very thin margins.  restaurants, even good ones, go out of business every week - it's a tough business.
how they can take a 50% hit (or more) doesn't make sense to me.

seth has stated in the past that shows at the 930 aren't terribly profitable (it's MPP and other big shows that makes everything worthwhile).  take away half the crowd - is there any profit at all?

So much depends on how much the bands, agents, manager, and vendors contribute to the calculus after factoring in their real hard costs. 

A bit of a standoff, even though everyone agrees that something as to be done.

Since so much traditionally rests on precedent (the most recent deal made with the band, e.g., is the new baseline) all parties need to suck it up and say something like "for the next 18 months, let's do what it takes, concede on dollars and deal specifics as necessary, and agree that nothing agreed to during this time necessarily needs to be honored in 2022+"      That's the gist; obv not perfect encapsulation.     
 

so last weekend, dave chappelle did the social-distancing live show thing: outdoors, seats 6 feet apart, everyone in masks (except him, obvs), etc.

but that isn't why you should watch this.  this performance, clocking in at 27 minutes, is powerful AF.  i won't spoil it for anyone but dave is in pain.  he doesn't hold back.  this isn't a comedy routine.
