This is a key insight... "In fact, the structure of rap shows--short sets by several acts, rather than the practice of longer stints by two bands on arena rock shows--gives the evening a naturally competitive flair. Watching the parade of talent, it’s hard not to rate one against another. Because the acts rely on recorded music (mixed live by a disc jockey) rather than live musicians, the changeover time between acts is far less than at a rock show".

Re: Full Clout
Just an opinion. I went to those types of shows as a teen.

Re: Full Clout
Not from me man. I just liked seeing a bunch of people perform together around '85 to '87. As I continued to spend money on tickets I started to gravitate toward shows that featured individual artists with longer sets. I am not claiming to be an expert. For me it was a kind of like following my passion for what I liked. I liked Greg Maddux, and followed him. I loved the Beasties and followed them, and when the it came time to decide how to spend my money on what I liked, I did. The only real point is that we started breaking away from short sets from 8 performers as a place to spend our money to view music live, and embraced headliners with new shows. That's what I thought was the critical insight of the author.
