Live in the Age of Covid19

since i like a good kerfuffle, and last time i posted something like this one ensued, here goes:



Announcing the Home Shows Night 2 stream on Nugs.net!
From February 12th through February 16th, Pearl Jam will stream their iconic August 10th, 2018 hometown show from Seattle’s Safeco Field. Having already released the stream of Night 1, the band is responding to fan requests and partnering with Nugs.net to stream Night 2. This 2-show homestand is widely regarded as one of the band’s career highlights.

The stream will feature the 37-song set, mixed in stereo and 5.1 digital surround sound by Pearl Jam Producer, Josh Evans. This never-seen-before full-color footage was captured using multiple HD cameras by touring video director Blue Leach and edited by PJ archivist Kevin Shuss.

Ten Club members receive discounted pricing ($9.99). If you are a Ten Club member, check your email inbox for your discount code.
 
For tickets and more info: https://2nu.gs/PearlJamWebcast.

Or they could stream shows for free (like they need the money) and have their fans donate to charity on their behalf.

I know a certain band that's raised over one million dollars during the pandemic in the name of charity.

I wouldn’t be so sure band members not named Eddie Vedder are as loaded as you think....

You're kidding, right?

edit: Not one dude in that band is close to poor.

Reading and Leeds festival set to go ahead this year in boost for live music

Who's taking bets?

Who's taking bets?

On it happening or on me flying over there in some weird display of dominance?

On it happening or on me flying over there in some weird display of dominance?

Taking offers on it happening - I'll take the "no"

And on Jules flying over there in some weird display of dominance - I'll take the "yes"

folks in beantown are gettin' ready to rawk again:

"On Monday, Massachusetts will move into the second step of Phase 3 of its coronavirus reopening plan, allowing indoor performance venues - like concert halls, theaters and other spaces - to reopen at 50% capacity, with a maximum of 500 people permitted inside."

the economics of artist, promoter and venue making their money on 500 people will be interesting... obviously there is pent-up demand, but are there 500 julians in boston? (julian = desperate to see a show, vax'ed, and willing to pay $$$).  about 15% of the population has had one shot, and a little over 7% have had both.  there are also the unvax'ed who will show up...

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

I’ve been talking about the Julian Economy for years and you all haven’t been paying attention.

[hutch]

I think most venues need to have full capacity to have shows...and that may be coming...

It can be done. Not easy tho and almost certainly not in arenas. Ticket prices will need to absorb more of the overhead. Like a lot more.

I could see paying $150 to see a show at the club under this 25 % capacity and a 2 drink min (with $15 beers)
but I'd probably only go to 1 show every other month at that price (down from 2-4 a month)

Not going to happen

Can anyone imagine club owners like Dante doing this?

Never.


A few dollars more? Sure.

Doubling or tripling prices? Not going to happen

Really wish our fearless leader Seth would hop in to the "Hey Seth" thread for an AMA regarding his thoughts on the current, near, and future state.

Sure, for an "arena" band.  I'd pay that to see The Dead at 9:30

I mean... it will just never happen. And in reality, whether there are 250 people in the club or 1,000. My guess is you'd still catch the rona in that environment.

I'm all for the "if you don't have a vaccine, you can't do shit" scenario.
