Mindi Abair played a free online concert May 1st at DeepRockDrive.com. I first heard about it at Facebook. This was really cool. You are sent a ticket which was a pass to enter a live feed. The concert was played in Las Vegas and was live. I recorded this with my Flip Video camera right off a small laptop screen. The upload to youtube really compromises the quality, especially the sound. But it’s still decent.

I think these online mini-concerts are going to catch on. It was promoted that the online audience would pick the songs and the band would play them. It was obvious to me that the band had a set ready to go and the audience suggestions were just used to play the songs pre-picked. In other words, it wasn’t really that interactive. And that was ok with me. I’m really not into whether we, the audience pick the songs. The uniqueness of a live, online concert caught my interest. The sound and video was awesome. Again, the upload really changes its quality. The Flip videos on my hard drive look and sound fantastic.

Anyway, you might want to check out this website that has other concerts scheduled. I will be able to look back on this and say I remember that old technology!

And how about Mindi Abair — she is awesome.
