	I don't think rock concerts qualify as hypermedia.  I think of
hypermedia as media linked together so that they can be retrieved via a hyper
access method.  Rock concerts are non-interactive multimedia presentations.
Non-interactive because the concert goers cannot change the scripted and
coordinated events/special effects (that's not to say that there isn't any
feedback between the musicians and the audience, though).
