Boston was great too.



I enjoyed following along on the twitter #concert4boston hashtag throughout the night.
Lowlights:

Video stream for the first two hours was a disaster.



From the Boston Globe:
For the most part, the concert didn’t go so smoothly for those watching it outside the Garden.

The live web stream of the show crashed and viewers had nowhere else to turn because the concert was not televised. Some were able to find an audio stream, but well after the show had started.

“Nearly half a million people logged on to view the beginning of the show which lead to bandwidth related issues,” promoter Live Nation said in a statement.
No kidding.

Thanks to SiriusXM for have a crystal clear live audio stream.

Audio is the most important thing about video.

More updates later.
