Live Nation and Apple have teamed up to offer exclusive downloads of concerts via iTunes.
Live Nation is one of the largest live convert recording companies around and their recordings are now available on iTunes for download.
According to the press release [PDF link], "Live Nation Studios will now offer exclusive recorded and filmed concerts from its network of “wired” venues for purchase and download only on iTunes. Exclusive live recordings from OK Go, Jesse McCartney, Saving Abel, A Fine Frenzy, Duffy, Plain White T’s and Ziggy Marley, to name a few, have been released this week, with many more to follow."
Apple has added a new area in iTunes called Live Music that allows you to search for and purchase your favorite concerts. You can view the area by clicking here.
Apple has been involved in the music and movie distribution business for a few years now, so live music seems to be a logical step in the right direction for the Cupertino-based company.

The new iPod nano is nothing short of awesome right? Well, not for members of Life Time Fitness, which has just banned the popular workout accessory from its gyms. Why, you may ask? Well, apparently people use their cameras in locker rooms to take pictures and videos of whatever shenanigans go on in there. A) I have never seen anything in a locker room that I would want to take a video of, b) most of the things I see in locker rooms, accidentally, are things I never want to see again, and c) I’ve just lost faith in humanity.
I suppose this is a logical step for the gyms, given that cell phones with cameras have been banned from locker rooms for the same reason, but given that the iPod nano is marketed directly to gym-goers (iPod + nike anyone?), this could be a huge blow to Apple if this becomes the precedent for other bans.
In the meantime, readers, we trust you to NOT be pervs with your new iPods.
