I need to ask something about concerts in future

[Saphyra]

I saw that metaverse would do all things that we could already do in real life including concerts
I am going to ask directely, do you think that metaverse would make disapear the live concerts ?
Because honestly, I am afraid that we have to enjoy all activities only in metaverse and honestly it scares me
I need to see concerts in real life, I need to hang out with friends in real life
And I feel that all things in real you could in metaverse would not have the same feeling you could have than in real life
Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against NFT, some projects are really cool and even there is no utility, in art side some projects are beautiful
I am simply sceptical about metaverse thing
Maybe I am exaggereting, you can disaggre with me (we are not in Reddit lmao)
I just needed to say that because it's been a few days that this question is in my mind and stressed me and I didn't know how to say or to start what I mean

Thank you for watching my thread
Take care of you

It's not the same cause the vibration and show + crowd. I read somewhere the body has like a electric current, it's same like magnets and gravity.
all related somehow
This example I didn't watch
Also the body is mostly water
So maybe it's like a type of therapy having the vibrations

Metaverse seems like groundwork for The Matrix scenarios
I don't know much about it

this ones with water


snowflakes also have shapes maybe how they fall

While the term “metaverse” is pretty broad, I’ll narrow it down to virtual reality… and in that I do not think it will ever compete with real live events, especially concerts.

Thank you for answering ^^
And I want to add that, it's not for only physicals feelings like vibrations that I want that live concerts continue but also emotionally, I mean, when I went to a Gorillaz concert, I was so happy and so hyped because I saw it in real life, I totally enjoyed when they played the music

Thank you for answering Alicia , I know it was maybe exaggereting that I made this post but I really needed to say it

my bad, it's what I starting thinking about

Haha no worries actually Matrix is a good example of what metaverse could be like, I was also thinking to Ready player one

I don't think this is a real possibility. There are a lot of things people, millions of people, and artists, love about concerts that don't work in the metaverse. I see a metaverse concert experience as one for one-off shows that are too expensive or otherwise can't be attended in-person, and also possibly as the next evolution of the "Live Concert DVD," where a recording is made in 3D from several vantage points and a purchaser could then watch it in the metaverse with friends or privately in a VR headset.

It will be several decades at least before we get to a metaverse experience that could rival the Matrix or RPO, but at that point, if it could be a real and genuine sensory experience with others, then sure.

But we're a long way from that. Maybe when I'm super old something like that could safely replace the experience? Even then, I'd rather be THERE.

Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of a live show. If they stop doing live and make everything digital I'm gonna just stop paying attention to that band. No one wants to watch a show on TV.

Yeah like that, I saw that What if could be like that one day, but there's always upgrades so eventually maybe there's no external gear like virtual reality.
Can be bad cause it's trapping oneself for safety, what if eventually everyone connected must submit to a Lord of the Rings type and turn all the electricity off

Yeah at the limit, if we take the example of one-off show too expensive for many people yes I can understand and it could be an alternative one for people who couldn't afford the tix,
(Honestely, I prefer the normal DVD but it's my opinion)
The problem is that it could add more illusion
For example when I saw the Live LBC of A7X, I knew that I couldn't be there because I don't live in Long Beach and I couldn't afford a flight but it doesn't matter because I totally enjoyed and I feel so hyped to see the live even via a DVD
For metaverse I wouldn't even know if I feel something real or not because it's in VR

After it's my opinion and my feelings, you have yous that is okay, I am not attacking you don't worry

PS : Thank you for sharing your point of view

NEVER once thought you were attacking - this is the kind of question where there are no wrong answers and opinions are just that - opinions.

I see all your concerns, and I agree with them. Like I said, I think this could have appeal for people who CAN'T go to a live venue, for whatever reason. I also think that a lot of bands who did streaming shows during Covid got a stark reminder of just how much they love the energy and VOLUME of a live audience - real, live shows aren't going ANYWHERE, except maybe for pop artists!

 

[Calvin Phillips]

I dunno about that with pop they make mad cash at those shows. Like 600 a ticket easy.

Oh I am glad to hear that I didn't attack someone here

Yes I agree with your second paragraphe, after each person who couldn't afford a tix has their preferences, it only depends of preferences
Some would see in VR whereas other prefer the normal DVD

Ooooof 600 USD for pop artists for one ticket ?

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Yup well Canadian.. maybe 500 us. It's insane how much pop shows cost.

A lot of them haven't been live for a long time. With the exception of Celine Dion, every pop artist my wife has made me take her to has spent the majority of the show lip-syncing to a pre-recorded vocal track.

So what you're saying is...you don't actually like pop music that much .

As for the topic at hand, I wouldn't worry too much. People have been claiming that AI might end music creation because you can actually create half-decent music with it, but it won't. And the Metaverse might offer some extra bonuses for...subscribing fans? Something of the sorts I imagine.

But ending music concerts is out of the question. It honestly gets tiring hearing about the latest and greatest thing (not blaming OP for asking the question, just people overhyping every f***ing thing in existence).
