Sam is live on YouTube!
You probably need to click through.
@lookmumnocomputer Thanks for the show!
That was awesome! Thanks @lookmumnocomputer !
Oh that was fantastic! What was the last full tune called? I didn’t recognize that! For the next one, would it be out of line to request old OLD tunes (Like Paris and Great White Shark?) Those would be covers but at least you’d like the guy who gets the royalties!
I was looking forward to the LS, but got sidetracked.
Work + Own Business + Stir Crazy Kids = need for DMC12 with Mr Fusion…
May get to watch it in the morning, but paid a a ticket fee anyway…
Tl;dr: Bitnik is being a grumpy old geezer.
I’m really terrible at live. I can’t even watch the recording because it starts with a long silence and when I skip forward it’s like watching a party from the outside, but then when I try to skip back it’s all silence again. Also, 90 minutes watching even the greatest entertainment on earth isn’t worth sacrificing all the time I could spend learning stuff. (Oh yeah, but I can spare 15 minutes to write a petulant screed…)
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. I utterly adore PBS Space Time and its fiercely intelligent but somehow approachable host Matt O’Dowd, but even Matt only gets about 15 minutes before I remember two dozen other things I could be learning about. Sam is inspiring, but written stuff is better than spoken word if only because I can read a sentence a dozen times over in the time it would take me to replay it once.
Setlist, if anyone needs that
EDIT: Set starts at 00:03: https://youtu.be/2VwG7DtGBBE?t=180 (was 00:30, but 27 minutes has been trimmed off).
So btw @lookmumnocomputer , I missed the beginning of the stream, but what was the bitrate discussion about? The recorded stream looks perfectly fine.
(fwiw, the big streamers have been tweaking the defaults in Europe, to make more room for people working from home, see e.g.

At the time, it appeared to a few users that the quality was lacking.
