Exploring our addiction to the live music experience |
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 [...]
I found some more fodder for our recent experiment with love and live music. It’s the video for the song “Someone That I Used To Know” by Austrialin musician Wally De Backer (aka Gotye) who will be touring the US for the first time this spring. As one of the most creative music videos I’ve [...]

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 [...]
We already know that President Obama loves live music and knows how to weave it into the fabric of his presidency. And now we know a little bit more after hearing him express his thoughts about experiencing Janelle Monae live during a recent visit to Chicago to raise support for the 2012 campaign. [...]
Social media and concert history were made this week as Tiesto, Twitter and HP teamed up at CES 2012 to deliver a live stream of the Dutch DJ rocking the a VIP crowd from the booth. And the event was a great opportunity to continue or live concert brand exploration. As Billboard reports, The private, [...]
I’ve always wondered what artists do backstage to warm up and get in the mood before a show. And my chats with Saul Williams, Ant of Atmosphere and Secret Machines all gave me a fantastic look in to the psychological, behavioral and emotional baselines of an artist before they perform. And because of those experiences [...]
I don’t know about you, but I think most concert fans don’t have evil intentions. Most of us just want to spread love, escape and have a good time during a concert. But sometimes what happens is that we get so worked up and emotional at a show that we just can’t contain ourselves. [...]
Back when we had the pleasure of discovering how Perez Hilton throws a Pre-Lollapalooza party in Chicago, I started to wonder what goes through the mind and heart of Mr. Lavandeira during a concert. Well, now you might be able to ask him yourself and let us know what he says because he’s teaming up with [...]
Now that we’ve shared our favorite concert fan moments, let’s take a look back at the top Live Fix stories you loved to read in 2011.
