You should talk to Jamie Zawinski at DNA Lounge (www.dnalounge.com) in San Francisco. He's been doing this since 2001. He also archives most of the live shows that have appeared at his venue.

He's also an uber tech geek, so all over the club there are old TVs, a dozen computer terminals where one can send emails and IMs and so forth, and a bunch of other pretty cool stuff. Jamie was, along with Mark Andreesen, the principal author of the Netscape browser and the person most responsible for getting the Netscape code released to open source, which later became Mozilla and then Firefox.
