Evolution of the Jam

once there were no screens on stage & the band playing was all that kept the attention of roaring fans & screaming crazies, but soon came the screen behind the band, with accompanying light shows & fake fog, all adding an extended emotional aura to the fury of the jam, accentuating the melodies & the harmonies of pop sensations or psychedelic shoegazers cultivating a plethora of combination of sights & sounds--- now, as the dj begins to work her/his way in & the band drifts away, the need for more people on stage deteriorates & the performance becomes a greater amount of glowing screens avec more lights shining down upon the crowds raising their light sticks, writhing in an ecstasy all their own. what is coming are the eye implants that will enhance vision & allow the downloading of all kinds of information, a la the internet, creating a new ability to form our world the way we want it & though this has potentially frightening possibilities, the evolution of the jam, of live performance will be one in which a distinction between the audience & the performer becomes blurred, where a meshing of the two find themselves standing side beside amidst a new ethereal plane.
