Basement Jam Free Webcast
From 'Pete Diaries' on Pete Townshend website:.
BASEMENT JAM - FREE Webcast event on Dec 4 from Pete Townshend's Oceanic studios. Presented by Rachel Fuller; featuring Pete, Foy Vance, Simon Townshend, Mikey Cuthbert and Rachel and her band.
"I know I will sound like the President of the local Golf Club when I use this expression, but I am very excited to announce BASEMENT JAM. This webcast happens on December 4th from Oceanic Studios in London, England. It is now going to be offered FREE not Pay For View. This does mean we will, be unable to guarantee a clean feed to every viewer but we are increasing the bandwidth massively to cope with a bigger subscription.
WARNING! You need a WINDOWS MEDIA player to see this show. QuickTime and Real Players which we use on our download areas will not work for this show.
Rachel Fuller's IN THE ATTIC shows every mid-week from Oceanic have been a test bed for this first LIVE MUSIC webcast. Rachel has already announced this show from her Blog, and on IN THE ATTIC last week.
A limited number of people will be able to attend to watch the show live at the studio in London, but the programme is targetted at the internet audience at home.
The show is based on the same cast of guests Rachel invited to appear at her show at the London Bedford Arms show in Balham on October 18th. The same artists will appear live: Pete Townshend, Foy Vance, Simon Townshend, Mikey Cuthbert and of course Rachel will host the evening and perform with her band.
As well as a live music show BASEMENT JAM will feature live interviews, chats and informal music from Rachel's IN THE ATTIC - a format many of you will already have checked out. There will also be a highlightfrom the Bedford Arms show.
A DVD of the combined events will be made available early in 2006."
The WhoTV
It has always been my intention to pepper the free stuff looped on the WhoTV (free stream) with really good Pay For View events. The first one, planned for December 4th has hit some critical problems. Nothing technical.
My company boss and team leader Nick Goderson has just had to endure a very serious operation, and my Webmaster Matt Kent has just had to take three weeks compulsory sick leave because of a shoulder operation. A couple other members of our team have also had some minor problems. Our first Pay For View will now take place in the New Year - probably February.
The BASEMENT JAM event on Decmber 4th is going ahead FREE. Rachel Fuller and Nicola Joss, along with my studio team Lincoln Fong and Paul Bonnick have everything ready. The downside is that without a ticket/password system in place we cannot guarantee a clean stream feed to every subscriber - I hope I have purchased enough bandwidth to meet demand.
In the next week on WhoTV you will see a number of 'bootleg' style DVDs sent to me in May for my birthday by Carrie Pratt who is developing the LONG LIVE ROCK website to establish a BitTorrent group for future high quality downloads - shareware and commercial. But the stuff I'm showing this week is bootleg material that you might normally expect to pay for. We do not intend to boot the booters here, rather to acknowledge the funky work they are doing and to widen their audience and our own.
The Who are considering setting up a GRATEFUL DEAD style recording/filming area at their concerts so that higher audio and visual quality can be assured. At the moment clever clogs booters snitch Roger's vocal via his radio mike feed, and I have to say it sounds horrible and compromises the balance of the overall stage sound. Every time Roger sings a line, the band sound disappears for a moment. It would be better to have a compressed, equalized feed of the kind that the audience hear rather than whatever happens to be pumped into Roger's earpiece.
