Suzanne Vega Avatar Live In Concert

This is a really interesting and perhaps a revolutionary story. In August 2006, Suzanne Vega became the first performing artist to play a live concert in a virtual world. The performance opened a whole new listening experience. The venue was a lovely auditorium, lovely lighting and a pleasant listening experience. No hassle or driving a couple of hours to the Hollywood Bowl, waiting in line for several hours, finally getting in, sitting so far back that the performer would seem a foot tall. Vega pulled off a great performance with her custom made avatar and sleek acoustic guitar. Although Vega seemed disturbingly expressionless and quite sober throughout her performance, I have no doubt in my mind that the future for such virtual events is extremely bright.
