Incredibly interesting to watch.
Sadly there are some Korean interviews interspersed with no subtitles provided. Perhaps someone here who knows Korean may be so kind to write down a translation and share it with us.

The concert itself is completely available on Youtube as a playlist.

Is no one interested in this or does nobody find something good to say?

Most of the videos I see about north korea disgust me, because what they allow people to film and the things they set up for visitors is all done to mask what's really going on there. This is the same but from the perspective of musicians.

Well I guess that's one way to look at it. I say a little is better than nothing. I'm certain it makes no immediate difference to the people of NK, but if the people are made to contemplate even just for a few days, it's something.
You'd be even more disgusted if they were allowed to show everything. insideNK has some very long and in-depth interviews with escapees, they might interest you.

I saw some documentary by Vice that tried to be more sneaky with the camera and it showed a bit more but still nothing terrible (all the really bad stuff is way outside pyongyang). The worse you see is how brainwashed the people are.
Also saw an interview with a guy who escaped, he describes the labor camps and all the horrible stuff. Not sure we'll ever get to see that unless the government falls and relief efforts start, then the internet will be flooded.

I don't really care to see it on person. the drawings and words are terrifying enough. I'm jsut happy when it's finally over, preferably without a huge war plunging Korea into chaos, so the Nortkoreans can live meaningfully and with dignity.

I'm not sure I want to see those things either. I have 2 lines of thought on those sort of things.
First is I feel I should force myself to see them so I can be that one step closer to understanding what's happening in the world. Also out of respect for those suffering, I think they deserve to have people respectfully witness what's going on, so they can be educated and share that information.
On the other hand I just want it all to stop happening and don't want to involve myself with it.
