Well what's really the difference between this and going to a movie vs a play? There's value to being in a big crowd with like-minded fans, even if just to watch a recording. Don't get me wrong, I love live shows, but when the crowds are huge for megastars, the intimacy between the crowd and the band already suffers. A digital performance might even be an upgrade if it is well done.

This reminds me of how much better the viewing experience is for an American Football game at home vs at the game. I love going to games, for the crowd, the weather, the concessions, and just the full experience. But if you really want to see the details of every play, you can't beat the quality camera work displayed on a large television in your own living room.

  Not a football fan but I bet the cameras hanging in lines zipping around above the field helps a lot for the TV-viewers :-)

    I believe they’re drones these days Edit: drones with tech to reconstruct scenes with multiple angles of the same moment

I went to see Hatsune Miku "live" and the most remarkable thing was how completely normal the experience felt. The crowd had the same joy as any other gig. Her callouts to the crowd felt the same as any other rock star. I laughed at her putting one foot on the monitor to get a better look at the crowd (have you forgotten what you are?) but it's part of the gig experience and it worked. It was... fun.
