The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Guns 'n Roses, Metallica, U2...never again. Stadium shows? They won't be the same. Who will be able to fill a whole stadium tour once U2 hangs up its spurs?
Why?
Fragmentation.
Say no more!
Nobody has control of the means of distribution like they did in the past. I can find any amount of the songs I want in the genre I want. I don't need to be held to the short list that can be fit into a brick and mortar store (hello!...tower records is out of busniess).
To paraphrase Chris Anderson: [linky]
The Faberge egg of controlled distribution and economies of scarcity is shattered into scrambled eggs of no control of distribution and economies of abundance.
A band for all seasons and all reasons and all tastes and all flavors.
