Good article, and some key points made, it all comes down to contacts and agreements, who owns the continuing viewing rights and who clips the ticket. VR on line has unlimited viewing opportunities, not constrained by venue, local time curfews, costs of security, crowd management, cleaning up etc etc. What's clear to me though is the quality of production. Over time music fans will distinguish between the back room production, and the quality provided by well funded and organised recording venues. We are still going through the "novel" stage in the new normal transition for live music. As artists demand higher spec productions, those investing in the right technology and production will win out.
