I saw this website mentioned on Download Squad ,so i thought i would give it a whirl and see how good it is.
The best way to use the site is to open an account,unless you just want to check out where one particular band is playing.You will be asked for a username and password and then asked for a location for where you want to watch gigs.You will then be asked to install a small plug-in,which is for Windows 2000,XP and Vista and will work with iTunes,Winamp and Windows Media Player.There is also a plug-in for Mac users as well.
