Recording the show and putting it online is not a 100% solution. Though I agree it's a good start and good enough for some people.
I take a lot of home videos. A new hobby of mine. I actually watch them. I use a handheld gopro and hold it at eye level.
At a venue the other day they recorded the event and put it somewhere online, but I have no intention on downloading it and still recorded 2 acts myself with my gopro (5 minutes of footage of the 2 hr show).
Why? Workflow, convenience, control. Recording on my camera means the video is automatically chronological with all my other videos and will be processed like all the others. Downloading their video means finding it online, editing it down to the parts I wanted to begin with, and figuring out the correct time stamp for each video I export. It goes from a automatic processes to a 20 minute long processes. That's not worth the trade off for me for 5 minutes of footage.
On top of that I lose my vantage point and the ability to point the camera back at ourselves too.
