50k people attend concert with no live music


I know it sounds unbelievable but it's true. I saw it on T.V. Tonight. It was on CNN and hosted by Lisa Ling. It was called electronic Woodstock. It was on the original grounds of the Woodstock concert. It was a 3 day concert of all pre-recorded music played by disc jockeys. She said that 50k people attended the event.

I always thought you attended a concert for the live music. I guess not anymore.

Wow, that Silent Disco thing is cool and strange all at the same time. I think its kind of a cool idea and I'd love to sit there in silence watching a bunch of people dance to a bunch of different music. Seriously guys, you can't pay for that kind of entertainment.

On a side note, Electronic music played in front of large crowds is live music. Dj's read crowds and feed off the energy of a crowd. Some Dj's play mostly music they produce. Others are actual live performances on digital equipment. All of it is realtime and it all has the signature of whoever is performing. Some is great, and some is total crap, just like any genre of music.
