I have enjoyed watching a few of these this past year most recently the Phil and Freinds shows last weekend, Lockn fest, also Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Warren’s Christmas Jam is doing one for $30 this weekend. Could be a way for PB to make more revenue while not having an impact on the community and the natural surroundings. This would make it possible for those unable to attend to watch from home. I would pay $100 or so for weekend access. Just wondering if it is something that could happen someday.
Since they already stream the audio, for me thats enough. All i really need is the music, but that being said i would gladly pay for either audio or video for the night grass shows.
It would be great to go back to the condo after the fest and relax and keep the party going.
Just another idea
I’m sure lots of folks who couldn’t make it would gladly pay something, BUT:
- Wouldn’t the artists (likely) want more compensation if PB charges for broadcasting their music? Might not be such a money maker for PB after all.
- Pay streaming is a different animal than just using KOTO’s normal live internet feed. I envision a new category of complaint threads from the expressive festivarian community akin to the ticket and tarp line complaint threads concerning bandwidth, freezes, lost connections, etc. :lol
Be careful what you wish for.
