The idea is good in theory Because with the concerts currently difficult, the Australian musician Nick Cave for a solo concert to a wing at London’s Alexandra Palace, the “Ally Pally” referred to people’s amusement Palace in North London, and was from a very well-respected camera man films. The camera man’s name is Robbie Ryan, hails from Dublin and is recently with works such as “Marriage Story” and “The Favourite”, that’s saying something. It happens in the concert film “Idiot Prayer,” namely, not much at all: Cave, from reciting a poem that runs to the wing, plays, sings, runs away again, and to change the light. Reduced and intimate, as at the moment everything in this spectacle of poor time of the locked one. He had been surrounded constantly by “Covid officers” with measuring Tapes, and thermometers, writes Cave on his Website, by masked cable-makers and camera people, nervous technicians, and buckets of Hand-desinfecting gel.

On what device it is streaming, is also provided to the customer. All of this is theoretically very good because it gives the concert video something Unique and Exclusive, to sit down the man is aware of and his money carefully to look. In addition, it creates by ticket sales and artists to the possibilities of a monetization of their Streams, since the Corona is streaming all the world constantly and continually.

however, I spent the Test, namely, the temporally forced transmission time for the Australian audience at noon, to juggle the first few Songs, in order, with three devices, in order to find a reasonably stable Stream. This proves to be much more complex than the evening weggeguckten Netflix series, the run with the home office tools, Wi-Fi, Laptop – in fact, always quite reliable. The “Dice”Stream reacts to everything unpleasant, bitchy, also, it is not friendly enough to look at.
