Concerts To Go

January 22, 2004

On the upswing—bands selling recordings of their live concerts on their web sites. Fans get what they want, bands get a big chunk of a new revenue source, as well as a great tool for convincing fans to go out and see the band live. Using off-the-shelf tools, a concert can be recorded, a light bit of production done, and the end result available for purchase and download the next day. And the price is often right, too—Phish’s New Years Eve concert this year was available the morning of January 2nd, for $11.95. And no stinkin’ DRM in sight.

Offer something to people that they want, and you’ll be amazed at what they’re willing to pay for (Techdirt)
