December 20, 2009 Live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.

Without a set list prepared for his final show of the 2009 Festival of Light tour, Matisyahu engaged his entourage by asking them what they thought he should play.  The backstage request of “Rastaman Chant” was a great song to start the show.  Throughout the night Matisyahu took requests from the crowd, his band and from his twitter fan base. The show came together very organically.

The Live broadcast of the December 20, 2009 Matisyahu show drew 100,000 + viewers on Ustream.tv. The ability to reach that many people via the internet is impressive to me. As we enter into a new year of technological advancements, we will harness the power of the Live Internet. Stay tuned for more Live events in 2010.

If you had the chance to request a song at one of Matisyahu’s concerts, what would you choose? Please leave a comment, share and engage.

Thanks for watching.
