SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE PLAYS THE FIRST LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCE ON THE INTERNET
On June 24, 1993, Severe Tire Damage became the first band to perform live on the internet. Performing from the patios of Xerox PARC, they were broadcast onto the Internet Multicast Backbone (the "MBone"). They were seen and heard live as far away as Australia. Anna Karlin was with the band then. MBone engineering was by Ron Frederick and Steve Deering of the Computer Science Lab at Xerox PARC.

I don't remember much about it. It looked like everyone was having
a good time out on the patio. I recall that there were dancers,
except that slow video does less justice to dance than lo-fi audio
does to music.
I guess all I could say would be to quote all the people who said
of Woodstock, "I was there" (remotely).
