A high school band in our town won battle of the bands, and then got disqualified. Their bass player had graduated so was not allowed to play. They put him in a van in the parking lot with a wireless into the auditorium and had a bass sync acting player pretend to play during the competition while piping in the bass lines.. does that count?

Talk about Modern Blues - this is how we do it now.
I think I get it as a consumer. Let's say you're having a cocktail party. Use your giant flat screen TV and sound system to stream a live music performance - one that's just for the party. You could even do it like Skype, and the musicians can watch the party.
I'm telling ya, we are being dragged into virtual reality.

yup, it is true.. the bass player has gone on to be a professional and has worked in some pretty good national touring bands. He is a good kid and the group really had fun with it.. they were pissed that he could not play with them so they did it to get back at the admins, almost pulled it off but someone snitched
