Let’s face it - physical concerts are a bit rubbish. First you have to actually get there, you’ll probably get stuck behind some idiot wearing a stupid hat and then you’ve got to queue for the toilets. Creative feels your pain, and instead is offering you the chance to download your live music action for free with its slightly strangely named Pure Music Listening promotion.
There’s a catch, of course - Creative isn’t just doing this out of the kindness of its heart. First you’ll need to pony up some money for a qualifying MP3 player, set of speakers or headphones. Oh and then download a form, print it off, fill it out, post it to Creative along with your receipt (and barcode), dance a jig and then, finally, you’ll get a code back you can enter into the website to download your gig of choice.
With your code clasped in your sweaty little hands you can then choose whether you want to watch Kylie strut her stuff, Coldplay plonk their pianos or Snoop Dogg shizzle his nizzle. Or something.
There are ten artists in total to choose from but be quick as the offer’s only valid until 31 July.
