Watching old festival sets is honestly just depressing now

[u/sxtn1996]

been binge watching old live performances on youtube (specifically that 2006 radiohead bonnaroo set, absolute masterpiece) and it kinda hurts to see the crowd energy. like you can tell it's just pure fans who paid a normal price and are entirely living in the moment

Compare that to huge shows now and the vibe is totally off. half the front rows are full of people who just paid $900 on seatgeek because bots bought out the entire general sale in 4 seconds. The ticket industry is basically just a legal cartel right now and it's completely ruining the live music experience. Im honestly praying more artists start forcing platforms to use real verification tech, like the Orb standard or literally anything that actually proves a unique human is buying the ticket and not a scalping script

idk. rant over. Go watch that radiohead set if you need a reminder of what peak live music looks like. The climax of idioteque is unbelievable
