I+E Setlist Parties w/ Periscope and Meerkat

[brooklynmike]

It'll be cool to see the evolution in the Interference set list parties, with Periscope and Meerkat.

 

[Galeongirl]

wait whut?

 

[brooklynmike]

They're the new Twitter apps that allow you to stream live video from your phone to many people. For instance, if I'm at the show I can stream it and everyone in the setlist party can watch and comment in real time.

Welp, there's my daily "I'm too old for this shit" feeling.

you're not the only one.



BUt sweet, does this means we get better feed than from 1000mikes?

 

[brooklynmike]

Damn old fogies. Ha! You'll know about it soon enough. Much better than 1000 mikes, but I think you need a phone that can download apps.

PFsh, I have a smartphone!




I don't use Twitter though. Only last tour for U2 stuff, but I find it very useless otehrwise.

Twitter is the greatest invention since fire

pssssht... what's this paying for data of which you speak? join the t-mobile revolution

 

[Hewson]

Or join Cactus World News!

 

[Tommy WM]

But I like the streams that sound like they're performing at the bottom of the ocean!

I forgot what concert it was on 360, but there was this lady that was singing on one of the streams during the entire concert....quite badly I might add. It was hilarious.

 

[brooklynmike]

I wonder if Zach Morris and AC Slater were kind enough to stream the Zoo TV show?

Roughly how much data/min does video streaming cost?

A whole concert? It would be significant

... and this

being grandfathered in with AT&T unlimited data >>>

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I was grandfathered in to unlimited data with Verizon, until I wasn't.

Thus I told them to go fuck themselves and their ridiculously high rates.

I'm pretty sure we had audio streams during the later Vertigo shows. Some were better than others. I seem to recall Rosa's blackberry being magical.

 

[brooklynmike]

Since I'll be in GA by the stage, I gotta decide if want to broadcast from the tip or the shaft? "This is brooklynmike coming to you live from the left nut".

 

[Galeongirl]

We used to have unlimited data here, then the companies started realising that data usage went huge after youtube came around... then they started capping it. There's pretty much nobody around anymore with unlimited data.

 

[Axver]

Ah nice, trying to cover U2's tours always helps me avert being an out-of-touch geezer by bringing my attention to technology I should already know about.

I'm pretty sure we had audio streams during the later Vertigo shows. Some were better than others. I seem to recall Rosa's blackberry being magical.

I remember somebody (possibly me!) once dug back through the archives to find the first show with a live audio stream, but don't recall the answer now. We had semi-regular streams on Vertigo's third leg, as you recall; I remember gorman and I maintaining them and Khan mirroring the stream so that as many people as possible could listen. Off the top of my head, we might not have had live streams pre-third leg, because I remember that when gorman uploaded a clip of Walk On's tour debut on 20 September 2005 before the main set was even over, Interference went apeshit about "what a time to be alive!"

How about putting the phone down and enjoying the concert in person?
