NMA Live Online Streaming Concert - Update

[Viv Savage]

Here's an update for the NMA online global gathering on 24th October:

"Here are some questions and answers concerning the online Global Gathering on 24th October.

1) Will the Online gig be available to watch later?
Yes, it will be available to view after the live event, BUT this maybe on a different system. If you cannot join us live, please do not buy a ticket yet.

2) On what format will it be screened?
It will be broadcast from a dedicated server in HTML5 which is very high quality transmission and will work with all major browsers (Windows, Safari, Chrome, Firefox etc). If you have very slow internet speed, the server should be able to detect your connection and adjust the quality accordingly. We will be discussing the technical side of the event more fully a little nearer the time.

3) What time will it be screened at and how long will it last?
We'll begin at 20.00 in the UK (BST) and the band will play for between 150 and 180 minutes including a break half-way through.

4) When will the T-shirts arrive?
We are about to begin printing the first couple of thousand of these. If you want to receive your shirt before the broadcast, you must order before midnight on September 24th. We will still take T-shirt orders after this date, but we cannot guarantee that they'll arrive before the Show.

Please note that on Friday there was a considerable rush in the Shop and we had issues with Paypal cancelling a few orders for no reason that we could detect. We turned Paypal off for a short time and we now think that the issue is solved. However, if you ordered with Paypal last week, please check the order status in your account to make sure it has not been cancelled. If it has been, you should be clear to re-order. As always, rest assured that everyone will get what they paid for, they will only pay once and nobody will miss out ;-).

Looking forward to it!

I am extremely interested in purchasing a proper, official, legit DVD copy of the entire NMA 40th anniversary concert.  I'll be watching the online streaming of it, live on October 24th, for sure!    Don't plan to miss it, not for anything in the world!  It's all I'll get to soak, savour and taste of NMA live, this year.  And, a DVD of the whole performance, event, would beyond a thrill, fantastic!   

If an official DVD isn't, for whatever reason(s), a possibility at this time, then could you, would you, NMA/JS, please, please, p-l-e-a-s-e, heavily consider tacking the entire 40th anniversary online concert onto the orchestral Leipzig gig one-off concert DVD?  As one of the very special BONUS features on the Leipzig gig DVD?  Oh, please?  Powers that be, please?    You're already planning to record that special gig too, if I'm not mistaken, correct?  If so, they'd make a seriously sweet package together.  Here's to hoping.

Thank you Mr. Savage for posting this important update here on the noticeboard.  Super stoked about the whole online gig... thank you beautiful beautiful soldiers, crew, et al.  Thank you!  xxxxx

oOo

My T-shirt arrived today. Very impressed.

Viv S...I understand that the tickets are virtual as I understand it. How are these distributed/accessed? By email link?

[Viv Savage]

There will be an email sent out on the day (I believe) with the access code to the show.
All the best

Hi Viv,

Do you know if the t-shirts will be available later on also or is it a very limited batch?
...I didn't have money to order it this month 
But got my ticket, looking forward for the gig!!

[cthulhu]

I also got a question. Will there be like a test run, maybe a day before or some hours prior to the gig, so we can test  the connections and equipment?
I would like to check out if i can watch it in my browser of the playstation, then i would test the connection of my laptop to my tv and sound system, to see if there is a lag.
Otherwise i would have to watch it on my small laptop screen with bad sound.

Thank you :-)

To answer a couple of questions:
1) The tees while stay up for sale after the show for a while at least.
2) The codes for the show will now be sent out in the days before the show in an email from NMA. They will allow access one hour before the show starts.
3) In terms of people who can't watch on the night please don't buy a ticket as the show will be available to watch on a different server after the show ends (though in practive that will probably mean from the next day...) and so the ticket will not work at that point.

There will be a new post send out on facebook next week detailing everything once again, which I will post up here for all the FB free people of the board :-)

All the best,

What happens if you bought a ticket ánd want to see the show again afterwards?

[Bunny]

As I understand it from Viv's first post its available to watch after the event, but no details yet.

As I understand it from Viv's first post its available to watch after the event, but no details yet.

Yes, but she also states that if you want to watch the concert, but cannot make it to the live event, don't buy a ticket. And that there will be other means to watch it afterwards. So that leads me to believe that if you did buy a ticket, you won't be able to watch it again afterwards. Otherwise, why can't you buy a ticket and watch it later?

[cthulhu]

One hour before the show should be enough to set up the connections.
My problem is that i can only watch internet stuff on my tv and have the sound through my living room speakers, when i use the playstation. And the browser of the ps has some restrictions, so i went to the website of a tv station to watch a stream of a cooking show and the window of that clip appeared, but i couldn't play it. The same address on my laptop with mozilla browser would play it without problems.
So if the ps won't work with the link to the show, i will have to connect my laptop to the tv and will only have the sound of the tv speakers. I will try to loop the sound from the tv to my amplifier, i need a cable for that and hope that there will be no lag then..

@Bever
Maybe they are thinking about a different way of distribution of the concert afterwards like a download link or even a dvd?

My T-shirt arrived today. Very impressed.

Cool. I guess mine can't be far away then.
