Weller's streaming gig this week is exactly the same price. Scam or not scam, it really doesn't matter to me. I'm happy to experience his gig even on the screen and Liam's next month.

Just noticed it says ‘C’mon You Know’ on the boat... 🤔

Most of us are assuming Liam is near completion of LP3 with a possible new single by the end of 2020 but it is strange to do a boat gig playing material from the previous albums when you are about (maybe) to launch a new album cycle. Maybe it’ll still be tied in with the gig but I doubt it or that would be the angle to increase sales for the show.

Two very different experiences really. A real gig would cost 60+ a ticket plus beer money / transport, possibly hotels. Couple of hundred easy. This is 16.50 for stream plus a 20 for a crate of beer and you can split the cost with as many people as you can find to invite.

If this is aimed at europeans, then fair play. But there should be a price adjustment to other countries, whose currency are shit compared to the pound. Just like they would at a regular gig. Also, why not do it live? Sounds weird to pay for a pre-recorded gig when other artists are either doing lives for free or paid real time lives. Is Weller's pre-recorded as well? Is there any other artists doing it like this?

Don't think the album release itself is that close -- wouldn't be released until he can tour it and we are still many months away from large live gigs returning. This is really all that can be done for now and that is the main reason why it is being done -- because Liam and the band are itching to play and because people are thirsty for at least something to hang onto until live music can return.

As others have mentioned, pre-recording prevents technical problems and allows for higher quality. If you've watched any live Zoom-style concerts they're usually horrific! It's harder to make a show with no audience feel "big," which is where hiring a good director, for starters, comes in.

We 100% sure he didn’t play the new single?
Does seem bizarre to waste that opportunity for the official video.

What constitutes a 'reasonable fee' differs from person to person. Personally, I think a lot of people are struggling just now with job insecurity and losses. £5-£10 max would have been a nice gesture and I think more would be willing to buy into it. I'm sure it will do well, but I'm going to give it a miss. Yeah my thoughts exactly. Can't personally justify spending nearly £17 on this.

I've seen some youtube lives where the artist and crew set everything up in their living rooms, backyards or even a closed theater, and it all sounded pretty good to me. Some charge for it, others take donations, but it's all live and shit. I even watched a festival a few weeks back that would jump back and forth between the USA and Brazil (for free, mind you)

Not going to get political or drone on about my specific situation..but its bloody steep at a time when people are struggling. Fiver..yeah OK..

If the £17 included a download of the gig, it might be justifiable

It's a debate we've had ad nauseam on here but its maybe to do with rights. I'm sure it's been said he can perform live without needing permission but to sell as a download or DVD he would need Noel's permission for Oasis songs.
Maybe selling this as a live stream swerves this issue. They will know as soon as it is broadcast that it is getting ripped and uploaded to youtube so at least it will get a live liam gig out there in good quality without them having to hamstring themselves by binning Oasis classics.

I don't see live gigs coming back any time soon. this is the new normal for the music industry, a lot of artists are doing this kind of ticketed streams. I'd just wish the stream would be available for a bit longer in the day, rather than just the time slot you're assigned with the purchase. it doesn't seem to be the case here. I hope my crappy internet connection cooperates Life moves pretty fast www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54873105

I'm sure Covid will be cured as soon as they have figured out how to maximise profits from curing it. I'm no covid denier, it's an awful disease and I know several people who have been badly affected by it, but there is no getting around the fact that they way it has been handled in uk especially is deeply corrupt and/or incompetent.
