I suppose you can say that the video setup underscores the theory that music at the Bowl deserves to be taken seriously, not merely as Muzak for food, wine and cell phones. So does the new series of pre-concert talks (titled ”Backbeat Live“ to contrast with the ”Upbeat Live“ talks at the Music Center), which take place in the Gehry-designed roofed-over picnic space between the museum and the box office -- and where there is also a small but good barbecue menu. I detect another irony here, however: Does making a Bowl concert resemble more closely a night at home, with the teevee and the barbie, outweigh the hassle of parking and the guy with the cell phone two seats over? Just asking; I‘ll still take the Bowl.
