Das ist doch mal ein SEHR interessanter Eintrag in Pete’s Online Diary!

Who TVIt has always been my intention to pepper the free stuff looped on the WhoTV (free stream) with really good Pay For View events. The first one, planned for December 4th has hit some critical problems. Nothing technical.
My company boss and team leader Nick Goderson has just had to endure a very serious operation, and my Webmaster Matt Kent has just had to take three weeks compulsory sick leave because of a shoulder operation. A couple other members of our team have also had some minor problems. Our first Pay For View will now take place in the New Year – probably February.
The BASEMENT JAM event on Decmber 4th is going ahead FREE. Rachel Fuller and Nicola Joss, along with my studio team Lincoln Fong and Paul Bonnick have everything ready. The downside is that without a ticket/password system in place we cannot guarantee a clean stream feed to every subscriber – I hope I have purchased enough bandwidth to meet demand.
In the next week on WhoTV you will see a number of ‚bootleg‘ style DVDs sent to me in May for my birthday by Carrie Pratt who is developing the LONG LIVE ROCK website to establish a BitTorrent group for future high quality downloads – shareware and commercial. But the stuff I’m showing this week is bootleg material that you might normally expect to pay for. We do not intend to boot the booters here, rather to acknowledge the funky work they are doing and to widen their audience and our own.
The Who are considering setting up a GRATEFUL DEAD style recording/filming area at their concerts so that higher audio and visual quality can be assured. At the moment clever clogs booters snitch Roger’s vocal via his radio mike feed, and I have to say it sounds horrible and compromises the balance of the overall stage sound. Every time Roger sings a line, the band sound disappears for a moment. It would be better to have a compressed, equalized feed of the kind that the audience hear rather than whatever happens to be pumped into Roger’s earpiece.
More news on all this soon. Exciting huh? You’ve seen NOTHING!!!!!!!!
Wie geil ist das denn?? :lach:
