Exploring our addiction to the live music experience |
We’ve been exploring the wonders of Lady Gaga and her excellent live show. And I wanted to tell you how much I’ve been enjoying the new beta fan site Littlemonsters.com. As you can see by the screenshot above, they know exactly how to engage Gaga fans and I’ve been really digging the user experience and [...]
As we’ve explored before the road trip is a big part of the live concert experience. And with the spike in gas prices we’re wondering if the recent hike in fueling your car will impact how many shows you go to this summer. Exhibit A in our experiment is a cool infographic below [...]
The baseball season is almost underway and we’d like to celebrate by sharing this slick infographic that shows how closely related baseball is to live music and how The Beatles used ballparks to make their rounds in the U.S. in the 60′s. As a Cubs fan, I will point out a couple things [...]
Remember what we found during our Storage Wars and Pawn Star exploration? Well, it’s happened again. Yep, I was stoked to discover more fodder for our concert treasures and Little Things experiments while watching my other guilty pleasure TV series Oddities. As you know we’re big fans of heavy-metal band Mastodon and I was surprised [...]
Hey remeber our fun mobile experiement? Good. Well, we just found this new mobile called StagePage and you should check it out. After a quick run through of the site and downloading the app via iTunes, I have to say this is a really cool app that’s right up our ally because it lets [...]
As we mentioned earlier Van Halen might be nervous about their current tour, and below is a infographic via Sonos documenting their infamous 1982 tour rider in all it’s glory. And here’s the 2008 rider via the Smoking Gun. Both of which are great fodder for our tour rider exploration. But what about the VH [...]
Got a fun video for ya. Besides being highly entertaining, I love this video because it takes us deeper into our Looky-Loo and other emotional experiments to explore one of our favorite live concert behavioral topics. Kudos to Brandi for sharing her story and getting us to think more about how we do, or don’t, [...]
Continuing our exploration in to brands and live music, a couple thoughts popped into my head after watching these videos from Intel’s new Ultrabook campaign called “Pop-Up Theater”. As noted in the email I got from the folks behind the campaign, these Intel videos are from a series of “fun and lighthearted stunts [...]

So, during this episode of Live Fix Radio, we invite you to cuddle up with that special someone (or your favorite live album) and join us as we explore the intimate details of our ongoing, and highly addictive, love affair with the live concert experience.

After I heard the sad news that Whitney Houston had died I thought about a couple things. First, I wondered how we would respond to it as a community of live music fans. Would it be like how we responded to Michael Jackson’s death? Or Amy Winehouse? Or other artists who’ve died? How [...]
telling stories about concert fans has taught me a lot about how live music changes our lives forever. And my curiosity about live music communities has led me on a journey to explore many other types of emerging communities. For starters, in our brand explorations, I’ve applied what we’ve learned about concert fan communities to help grow, [...]
We’ve explored the best and worst of Super Bowl entertainment before so I’ll cut right to the chase on this one. The Madonna Super Bowl halfttime show left me wanting a whole lot more. And, unfortunately, the best part about it was watching that guy bounce around on that crazy tightrope thingy. Sure, many [...]
Twelve hours from now, just like I did last year, I’ll be run/trotting up 80 floors for the kids. It’s a great cause to support Children’s Memorial Hospital and I really enjoyed being a part of our team of family and friends and a few furry friends as you can see above. And [...]
The exploration in to the community of groove and dance culture continued at Lincoln Hall Saturday night. In the wake of this sold out show, it’s obvious that Chicago DJ trio Midnight Conspiracy is aiming to innovate the live dance music experience as they stimulate the senses by blurring the lines between house, dubstep and performance art.
