Good ol' Live Nation, always looking for new ways to enhance our experience.

Personally, I don't enjoy streams, but I suppose there's not really much wrong with this, except that it will only increase people's notion that virtual experiences are just as good or better than real ones.

Then again, I've always thought that being on the lawn at Shoreline was more a virtual experience than a real one.

Except for the annoying people talking.

And the puke.

Those things have always been real on the Shoreline lawn.

Lots of people on the lawn

Lots of people on the lawn can't afford to be closer or aren't lucky enough to get affordable pavilion seating.

The boutique streaming

The boutique streaming companies like Nugs and Shappy's "Fans" will be road kill here. At minimum the number of venues they operate in will be curtailed. This definitely has a competitive advantage for Live Nation.

To be fair, people talking

To be fair, people talking and puke are actually rampant throughout Shoreline. I shouldn't have singled out the lawn.

And I get your point Knot, especially about being able to afford tix in the bowl, or at least the lower bowl.

But shows still blow on the lawn.

As for luck, especially as I've grown older I really do believe that to a large extent people create their own luck.

It's an inexact science, and much easier to say than do, but there's only one way to make it happen.

Get busy.

What ever happened to

What ever happened to Rakatauri?! I was ready to fork over all my money to Schnee and Huck. I don't think anyone who enjoys live music has any illusions that streams are better than being there, but try as one might, you can't go to all the shows and sometimes it's nice to have a show from across the country you are interested in beamed to your living room. Also, streams carry a lot of weight, for example, during extended periods of time when perhaps people can't gather en masse because of something like a global pandemic. I guess this was an inevitable next step. The big boys have the ways and means.

"As for luck, especially as I've grown older I really do believe that to a large extent people create their own luck." Absolutely.....as Jefferson said "I find the harder I work, the luckier I get".
