Club Passim used to have on line free audio of concerts, but they stopped it. Some of the artist I follow have mentioned this service and for 3 dollars to view and/or listen that is great., especially if you do not live in the Boston area. Hopefully with the computer age, other venues will do this too, as I do not think it will hurt the live audience attendance. They do this in sports and it is successful, and I do not see why it can't work in music, as there is a lot of local talent all over the world to hear and see that you will never see or hear in the area you live in.

(Mostly coice of pay-per-view--usually $3, I think--or unlimited views for a flat fee per month; some shows, e.g. at schools and smaller venues, are free.) Sound quality is good, except when the Net connection is having problems. Live only; you can't replay a previously-aired show, alas. And of course I encourage people to get out to the venues whenever possible, in order to fully support the venues and the artists as well as give themselves the full experience. But I'm only partly employed and can't afford to get to Passim as often as I'd like--and I moved out of Berkeley (CA) thirteen years ago, so going to the Freight regularly is not an option. So this is an incredible bargain. Lucy Kaplansky's show on the 30th is on the list of those to be broadcast. http://www.concertwindow.com (Full disclosure: I recently started working part-time for Concert Window, so I have some interest in their making a success of it. But please note that my delight in the webcasts antedates working there; in fact, I emailed and asked about work possibilities, because I've been so happy with the service since it started.)
