Alex, thanks for the note. glad you’re looking forward to this.

Actually, this one was by me….note that tiny little author link ; )

Of course, at some point Justin will definitely be getting more involved on this. But I am definitely the bigger Live Music 2.0 nerd of the two of us.

Lots more to follow.

Looking forward to this series and the possibilities of what web 2.0 could bring.

Pollstar is the old favorite for me too. The new changes were better when I figured out the travel distance thing on the notifications.

There is nothing worse than waking up on Sunday after sitting around at home Saturday night and seeing a show posted on bt.etree.com.

I’m also hoping that a service comes out the gets people out seeing more live music, finding new live bands and creating buzz for musicians.

hey thanks sammy.

I agree. In a sense, I’d like to look at both near-term and long-term features and challenges (as I said, I don’t see how all these players can last, so they may not all last more than a year or two). But the long-term possibilities are endless and quite exciting.

RE your link:
as long as it’s on topic, sure thing. link away.

keep in mind, you can actually use html tags like I did with the Techcrunch post above.

cheers, mw

great article.
very thought provoking and true…..
the key is to see not whats next, but what will be the next feature or facility provided in this web space of music 2.0 after whats next.
think 4 – 6years away instead of next year.
nice job.

I've been using Bandloop to track upcoming concerts. They have an IPhone App too but I haven't tried it since I am sans IPhone :(

@whitperson –

Yeah, pollstar is very web 1.0. And it is still seriously lacking in layout. I think it’s worse now after the redesign – fewer listings per page (which is a SERIOUS hassle when you’re looking at shows in NYC.

But I do like the email notification system.. Anyway, yes I totally agree there’s a lot of room in that space, maybe pollstar will get it together and come out w/ mobile apps and a better site.

Here’s one article about the upcoming Google music service. It seems to think it’ll be a very underwhelming product, but I can see Google beefing it up over time.
