I thought for a while that a Vinyl comeback might be able to change the tide. Cause I remember even as a kid, when somebody taped me an album, it never felt the same. It didnt feel like I owned it, cause it said TDK or Maxel on it, or if somebody was giving me the tape too, usually a cheaper one, like radio shak brand cassette.
Something about the ability to hold it in your hand, with the marketing and logos on the album, with the artwork, that made it seem like a real product, beyond the music. Vinyl did make a resurgence but not enough. Im surprised all the artists didnt get together and say, from this point on well only release vinyl just to see what happened.
But you have major superstars (Roger Daltry being one) who say that they dont make albums any more cause nobody will buy them.
I dont think albums were ever the main source of income its always been live. If you sell out a 100k capacity stadium, at 100 bucks per seat, that one show will earn more money than selling a million records.
I think that some time in the future, maybe not this year, or next, but that at some point live music is going to come roaring back.
Quarantining was not hard for most people, cause they stay home online anyway. But at some point the need to get out and see and hear live music will be back. And I still think you have a better chance or getting fans if they see you performing in a live setting, than them seeing you on youtube. Its more intimate.
The first time period, im thinking summer of 2022, will see an explosion of live music, and people going out to see it. WIll it last? Donno, but be ready to start giggin!
