And for the reasons @jamesstiff listed and that it cuts down on the massive emissions touring creates (until it goes sustainable), Iām here for it.
Video and sound quality will just continue to get better. Split that fee with some friends. Good times.

Now Zuckerbergās VR wet dream is making much more sense. Everyone will need their own headset and ticket to āattendā the gig in the near future. Screen sharing is the devil

Their many devoted sleuths may suspect that, in the long tradition of stratospherically successful, decade-spanning rock groups, the guys just donāt love hanging out together anymore. (When Ed OāBrien released his solo album last year, he admitted that only the drummer Phil Selway had asked to hear it.)
Fair enough.
A decent look at the gear in that article. Really looking forward to the album (And MKI! 
)

Yeah MK1 Octa 
Wasnāt too keen on the second single but look forward to the album
A kind human on the Reddit shared a rip of Saturday nightās set. Itās only up for one day, so go check it out now if youāre interested:
I will note, I will be buying whatever these guys want to sell me, so Iāll happily hand over my money. I also donāt think what they were asking for the stream was too much. They offer a high quality, thoughtfully produced product. They deliver. Theyāve invested decades into their craft and theyāre still bringing it. I love supporting artists of this calibre and Iām grateful theyāre still at it.

Do the people who help set it up/tech/roadies etc. deserve pay? Would you live stream for free?

No, not free, but Ā£15 is taking the piss.
Putting it on YouTube for free would have made them a few quid too, Iād expect, probably less than hosting it yourself and charging Ā£15 a pop though.
How many people did watch and pay 15 pound?
I remember when Nick Cave did that livestream during lockdown, pretty sure it was also Ā£15, or slightly more. They advertised it as your only chance to see this concert.
Then released it as a film and album later. Bastard(s).

The credits were massive. It took a lot of people to put it together and have them on the clock for 24 hours straight. The price seemed extremely fair in that sense. I think when I saw Radiohead the ticket was 50 dollars, which again seems fair considering the size of the crew. Those people all deserve to make a decent wage.
