“Do I Look Lucky?
I love the Rocky movies. Well, to be specific, I love Rocky and Rocky II. It gets a little shaky after that, but those two movies are incredibly good. If you haven’t seen them because you’ve got a prejudice against Stallone, I’d say open your mind and check them out. It’s all about the human [...]
Edition 6 is just days away…
If you’ve been anticipating Edition 6, anticipate not much longer. We’re just days away from the publication of the sixth monthly Edition of Live 2.0, and it’s got some great stuff in it! The theme is Audience. We’re going to explore that from a variety of angles, but the goal of the edition is to [...]
Michael Again…But There’s a Good Reason!
If there weren’t news to discuss here, I would have moved on from the Michael Jackson story, but something happened that’s extremely relevant to Live 2.0, so I want to share and comment on it. Then I promise we’ll move on. Yesterday, Billboard announced that for the first time in history a “catalog” album (meaning [...]
Edition 5 Appearing Tomorrow!
We’re putting the final touches on this month’s Edition of Live 2.0. It should be a good one because it’s about innovation as the key to overcoming this crummy economy. There’s not much you can do to effect the macroeconomic picture, but controlling what you can control can make the difference between success and failure [...]
3 Things Theatres Do that Are So 20th Century
Not all theatres, and not only theatres, but these are things that things that venues with a varied “program” of shows do that might be keeping them in a Live 1.0 world. 1. Charge the same for every seat. You get a pass on this if your house is less than 40 seats, otherwise you’re [...]
Anvil: Stuck in a 1.0 World
If you get a chance, go see the movie Anvil! The Story of Anvil. It’s a documentary (a real one, not a mockumentary) of a Canadian Heavy Metal band called Anvil, who briefly touched the upper reaches of fame in 1984 and been together now for 30 years. The story in the movie is bittersweet, [...]
Best…Broadway Season…Ever…
Gross Sales-wise, at least. Hmmm. Wasn’t I just saying something about this? Why, yes, I was…here, here, and here. My basic point all along has been that people don’t need to get hysterical about the condition of Broadway, but that long term, it’s a segment that needs to change to adapt to a non-tourist driven [...]
Live 2.0 Now Available on Your Kindle
I know, I know, you can’t wait to read Live 2.0 on your Kindle…when you get one…when they’re not $350. I admit I have a Kindle. In fact, I ditched my Kindle for a Kindle 2. It’s one of the few things in a world where flying cars and meals in an easily digested capsule [...]
The New Media Edition…Coming Later In May
In a couple weeks, we’re publishing the fourth Edition of Live 2.0, and it’s all about New Media. Why is this relevant to the Live 2.0 theme? Because live entertainment is created and marketed through a choice of media, and frankly, there’s a lot of nonsense out there about when and how to use the [...]
Greg Sandow in Edition 4
I’m happy to say that in May’s Edition of Live 2.0, we’re going to have a lively Q&A with Greg Sandow, writer of one of my favorite blogs, music teacher, and classical music critic of the Wall Street Journal. The Edition is all about New Media and how to use it, and there will be [...]
