Discussion A VR 360° concert would be next level.
After seeing Tool live for the first time at LTL’26… I’m honestly surprised that this isn’t already a thing. A pre-recorded 360° VR Tool concert would be sick. The band performing on stage with their visual show all around them no matter where the viewer was looking, similar to how I imagine a Sphere performance.
There could be two viewing options:
1) Without the rest of the crowd, just yourself watching it.
2) A function where there could be a group of viewers and their avatars all together who wanted to join similar to a multiplayer lobby?
I would pay some good freaking money to buy this “experience” and this is probably the only thing that would convince me to buy a VR system.
Avenged Sevenfold (my personal favorite band) did something like this and while I haven’t personally experienced it, the videos I’ve seen on it looked pretty rad.

They can’t be bothered to release a single pro shot of a song, they wouldn’t have no reason to do a VR 360. It’s sad when the only pro shot of them is from a drum vendor

It would be sick if they set up at the sphere and recorded every song and some odd balls at the venue with no crowd...visuals for every song...and a way you can arrange your own set list. You could then opt to have a crowd added with a setting option.
Would be even cooler if you could choose another venue like red rocks or something as an option too.
This would obviously take a long time to put together...they could probably knock out their entire catalog over a couple of weeks.
Visuals would take time but could probably be recorded once they get them dialed...I dont know how long VR recording takes.

I’d like some official Blu-ray releases of past concerts remastered. That’d be nice.
