What I'm wondering - what benefit does this have over simply recording videos for playback on YouTube?

Here comes his first transition - flipping through sheet music while the drum machine and 4 chord sequence goes on and on.....noodling, noodling....

This has been going on about 5 minutes - same chord sequence, and the words 'frozen generation, we are', repeated ad nauseum. This guy is clearly trying to write this song live in front of his online audience.

Is this typical?


I hope no one thinks I am some kind of snob by saying this but in all do respect that kind of (the noodling guy, we'll call it a performance for this discussion) would never have held me for 2 minutes much less 5. I look at these as I do regular gigs, and by that I mean if the act does not care enough about the performance by making an attempt to get their act together I let my feet do the voting. On streetjelly it's easier I just let the mouse to the voting.

I know I am old school but I feel any performer no matter what level, owes it to their audience, either live, recorded or broadcast to plan to the best of their ability a show that is designed to engage and entertain their audience and for God's sake not waste their time jacking around when they are supposed to be performing.

Now get off of Rharv's lawn! Sorry got on a roll there.:>

Later,
