So I've been watching concert footage and while David might be right and theatrical exhibition will die, I think that concerts will come back

David could be right that this will finish off movie theaters and Slim's is already closed as a music venue. Though Slim's closing was just expedited by the current events not directly cause by it

However I don't think that concerts are going to stay away. It's one thing to dance like nobody is watching and quite another to dance and literally nobody is around to watch as it is just me in my bedroom

Plus if I try to sing along like I was at the show, the reality of my off key, kind of droning along kind of freaks out my housemate instead of getting lost in the crowd. ;-)

For this festival type show, the camera angles are better than anything I could ever experience from being out in front of the stage but it's a poor replacement for being in that crowd that is interacting / singing / dancing along

A big chunk of that crowd is talking and saying how much better the last act was. - . Mar 21, 21:43
Nope. Not gonna happen. If anything, movie theatres will be one of the biggest draws once we get out of this. - Mr. Havens Mar 21, 20:43 1

Slims is closing because their booker retired 2 years ago and Boz Scaggs didn't want to do it so they let Live Nation take over and their bookings -- (edited) - jnine Mar 21, 20:34
I don't mean die as in completely gone. I mean that the theatrical window will shrink to one month or less. -- nm - David Mar 21, 20:22
Once there's a vaccine everything can come back. Right as rain. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 21, 20:18
