THE ROBAIR REPORT: KNOW-IT-ALL
I recently played a show at a major performing arts facility on the East Coast, which not only had exceptional sound and lighting, and a multi-camera crew shooting in high-def; the venue streamed the show in real time online, where the performance now sits "in perpetuity." At the end of the event, we were presented with a DVD of the performance (without having to ask), which looked and sounded great. A person can get used to this!
