ah, right, but that's opera which is kinda different.
I was thinking more like recorded music isn't worth anything cuz it's so widely available, what if you increased the economic value of the live performance by making it the *only* way to experience a band/artist's music? there are some basic problems with this (how would anyone know they want to hear this band, for ex.) but I still kinda wonder about it... like, some big band with a pre-established rep could pull it off. Make every show a rare event, charge shit-ton of money etc.
