There are few things that make me stop using Apple iTunes but FabChannel seems to be an amazing place to watch live music. I have found 6 new bands that I would have never found otherwise and the Flash video interface is great. The ability to deep link into a concert video by track is really a great feature. This would be a killer Apollo app especially if I could purchase/download the music videos/mp3 files locally.I was a huge fan of Napster during the day. The funny part is that I focused on finding live music and bootlegs that I could not find elsewhere. If one considers quantity of music outside of the recording industry, the market and value in what FabChannel is doing is impressive. FabChannel is packaging the music archive of 600 concerts at the Paradiso in Amsterdam allowing anyone to enjoy the music online. The service has some really unique content features and the Flash based UI makes navigation of this app really easy. The backend of this application is done using Flash Media Server FLV streaming and the video quality is amazing. The mix of deep linking into concerts is a new medium and if I had the chance to purchase tracks from this system I would spend money here.
Hats off to Owen Van Dijk for turning me onto this great site, he is also responsible for some of the magic of the service development. It has extended my music collection in a new direction. Check out the FabChannel when you get a chance.
Cheers,
Ted :)

Hi all!
I found a music concert site which is pretty cool: YouSwitch.tv
You can look at four video streams simultaneously with 4 different camera angles during a live show. You just have to choose the stream you want to watch. (if you want to see the drummer, the guitarist during a solo…) The nice thing is, switching allows you also to create a mixture of individual streams, and thus, you build your own montage of the pre-recorded concert and keep it. It seems that they are only in the beta testing version of the site and the final design will be available soon with more exclusive artist performances. It’ll be cool to direct your favourite band concert footage, you don’t need to have a production truck.
Cheers
