It's like, "We're going to tell everyone we'll have a unique event highlighting the power of live theater, but we're actually going to have a tape and not tell anyone." Did they really think the curtain was going to go up on time?

>> Did they really think the curtain was going to go up on time?

did they really think they wouldn't get busted?

it seems a particularly cheesy thing to do especially when they had, what, a 15, 20 minute time frame? it isn't like no one had any idea what time the number might come up.

if i was going to stand out in the rain to watch a live performance of something be (what's the word? "televised?") ... shown ... i wouldn't have a problem with - "it's live so we can't say to the minute what time it will start, but it should be somewhere between 9 and 9:15."

certainly i wouldn't have had the same problem i'd have finding out i stood out in the rain to watch a clip. they should have just been honest about it.

And I love this:

The producers of Side Show had announced with some fanfare that Clear Channel Spectacolor would broadcast the Act 1 finale live at 7:45 p.m. from the St. James Theater on Monday night, showing it on a digital billboard in Times Square with what the company called "never-before-used audio technology."

So, I guess at this point it's STILL "never-before-used audio technology"?? ;-)

Well, the fact that the segment was recorded instead of live doesn't necessarily mean that new technology wasn't used, whatever it was. But who knows?

Well judging from the video i've watched of Times Square, the audio is surprisingly crystal clear.

I've seen a few things broadcast including the Giants winning and I can't remember volume at all. If there was, it was not that strong.

Which rather makes me wonder...

... were they really going to miss their broadcast window? Or -- since this was essentially an advertisement -- was it a strategic decision to broadcast a version that would have better sound quality...
