Can you confirm this is available to DKIV's in the UK.   Previous advice has
been categoric, with apologies, that it was not available outside the USA.

Thanks

Owen

Yamaha 125th Anniversary Dealer Concert 

Starring Elton John to Be Streamed Live 

 

-Historic Event Featuring Top Artists Can Now Be Experienced on Computers
and 

Mobile Devices, and at Select Yamaha DisklavierTV Locations Around the
World-

 

Anaheim, California-Yamaha's 125th Anniversary Dealer Concert featuring
Elton John performing with a 60-piece orchestra will be streamed live over
the Internet on January 25, 2013, beginning at 8:00 pm Pacific Standard
Time, U.S. Elton John will start his performance at approximately 10:25 pm
Pacific Standard Time, U.S. The concert will take place at Disneyland's
Hyperion Theater in Anaheim, California and the stream will be available for
viewing at http://eltonjohn125.usa.yamaha.com and www.eltonjohn.com. 

            Joining the "Rocket Man" onstage will be Amy Grant, Chaka Khan,
Dave Grusin, Earth, Wind & Fire, David Foster, Dave Koz, James Newton
Howard, LEOGUN, Landon Pigg, Lucy Schwartz, Michael McDonald, Sarah
McLachlan, Sinbad and Toto. Legendary bass player Nathan East will serve as
music director.

In addition to the live stream of the entire, three-hour concert to
computers and mobile devices, Yamaha will showcase its groundbreaking
DisklavierTVT, powered by RemoteLiveT technology. Elton John, the marquee
performer of our generation, will play five songs on a Yamaha Disklavier
reproducing piano onstage with the orchestra, which will be streamed live
over the Internet simultaneously to remote Disklavier pianos in Japan,
Korea, Australia, Russia, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Singapore
and the United States. His actual piano keystrokes will be faithfully
played, note for note, in real time (via MIDI data) on each of the remote
instruments just as if he were there, while the entire orchestra will be
seen and heard on adjacent monitors in perfect sync with the remote piano
performances. 

"We are going to make history with our DisklavierTV live stream of Elton
John's performance. Elton will be playing Yamaha pianos live around the
world from one stage at Disney California Adventure's Hyperion Theater and
will forever change the way we interact with artists and their music," said
Chris Gero, vice president of Yamaha Entertainment Group of America, which
is producing the event. "Only Yamaha has the technology and the artist
relationships to pull off a concert of this magnitude and everyone involved
is excited to be a part of this singular event."

Hey Bill,

 

It's a shame that Yamaha does not let Australians watch this?

 

Do you guys have any video+midi that people can buy? I am happy to pay a
good price for them?

 

Philip

Elton John! The Moment We've All Been Waiting For!

You probably have heard about Yamaha's RemoteLive technology available to
Disklavier Mark IV and E3 customers. Yamaha has been beta-testing this
technology in the US for the last two years. Many of you have served as
beta-testers during this time.

I am thrilled to announce that Elton John will perform viaRemoteLiveT on
Friday, January 25, 2013 from Disney's California Adventure Park's Hyperion
Theater.

Yamaha will be presenting a multi-artist blockbuster concert as part of
their 125th Anniversary Celebration during the NAMM Show. Sir Elton John has
agreed to allow us to stream his special 5-Song Set (that also includes a
full orchestra) to our RemoteLive beta-testers in the US.

Since we'll be joining a concert already in progress, we estimate that Elton
will take the stage at approximately 9:30 PM (PST). While I realize that
this might not be a convenient time for you (unless you live on the west
coast of the US), please understand that there is no agreement to enable us
to offer this performance as a rebroadcast or as on-demand content, so this
is ONE LIVE EVENT that you will not want to miss!

I think of this event like Woodstock, just without the rain.

If you are a Mark IV or E3 owner living in the US and you would like to try
the RemoteLive experience, go to <http://4wrd.it/remotelive>
http://4wrd.it/remotelive. At the bottom right corner of the page, click on
"Sign Up for RemoteLive" and register for it. This incredible event is free,
so you really can't beat theprice.

After signing up, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to
download a set-up manual and the "dongle data" that is necessary for you to
receive the broadcast.

After getting set up, go to  <http://4wrd.it/remotelive>
http://4wrd.it/remotelive to check the test videos (to be sure everything is
configured properly) and then enjoy the on-demand videos available.

Should you have any problems, please contact me as soon as possible. Because
of the expected high number of requests for assistance, I ask you to contact
me by email at <mailto:bill.brandom03@...> bill.brandom03@....
Make sure to include a brief description of the problem and your phone
number in the email so I can call you back.

Please plan to get prepared ASAP. It will be very difficult for me to
provide assistance after January 20th, because I will be deeply involved in
preparing for the NAMM Show and for this important event.

Despite the hour, I hope you'll invite your family and friends to "tune in"
to this historical performance! As always, the broadcast will be streamed to
<http://4wrd.it/remotelive> http://4wrd.it/remotelive .
