I watch Wine Not all the time. But yes, charging 100 dolars to zoom with the band for a few minutes leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Shoot me.
We could probably settle this once and for all if the band just releases their tax returns.

They would make more money by charging less and adding a tip jar for the crew. Much like what Joel and Brendan have done on certain streams.
Honest quetion, not trying to be a smartass. Do you guys defend tourgigs and the price of that consistently going up, despite it being proven time and time again that it is a shitty product?
I mean there’s people that will gladly pay it, why the fuck not.

Touche. Just feel that as price increases, so should quality. If people feel differently I will respectfully bow out.
I have no problem paying $15 for a live stream every now and then. Whether it cuts out or not is a different question. I haven’t been truly tourgig’d in quite a while. I’m way more inclined to pay $15 for a stream now considering there is no live music I can attend.
Many artists including some members of UM have already been doing that sort of thing for months on live lesson masters. It’s nothing new.
I definitely have no problem paying for streams, either. I bought four of the Billy Strings streams, I bought the moe. stream last weekend, I have bought endless UM streams, etc.

I was referring to the private soundcheck part specifically. If people have the disposable income and want the more intimate experiences so be it. I’m not in the financial situation to do things like that, but if I was loaded I might consider it.
I was not aware of that option. I agree with what you are saying, but also, KB’d.
I can’t speak to TourGigs quality as I rarely buy streams in recent years. But just doing a quick search of my emails and looking back at announcements for previous couch tours over the years I can see that your claim that the price is consistently going up is simply untrue. Most every individual stream is usually $12-15. The first stream I found I bought was the 3 night Riverside run in 2013. The bundle was $36.
I have definitely paid over $12-15 for UM streams in the last two years
They were $20 all last year.
Just got a text from my buddy that says
@Random_Ass I definitely saw them at $9.99, wanna say it was even $7.99 at one point. By the time of 2/20/15, they were $15. Asheville w/ Billy streams were closer to $20 a night with tax

Maybe it costs more for two guys in UM to play acoustics on a couch, though. You never know.
im excited and ill pay all day but the price sucks, plain and simple. I’ll support them and understand where they are coming from, but 14.99/19.99 is pretty standard pricing for full band shows and they want to charge the same for 2 members on acoustic. Also, when tf are we going to hear anything about the warehouse show(s). Im beginning to think Jake was talkin out his ass a little bit on that one.
