Ever wish you could relive that Rolling Stone’s concert you barely remember? Maybe you’d like to enjoy an intimate concert for two in the comfort of your living room. Well now you can, thanks to a little app called Qello. Qello provides on-demand, high quality streamed HD concerts to a multitude of platforms. The app was previously available for Android tablets and phones, but has now made its way to your big screen via Google TV support.
