The Best Live Recordings on Youtube


Hi folks, I’m in the middle of moving and needed something to do to explore music while my system is in storage (might be up to a year). Started streaming live recordings on youtube on my laptop and decided it would be worth it to make a list/channel.

In case anyone likes watching such content, the link is below. I only add quality recordings (both visually and sonically) of quality performances. No real genre restrictions, so maybe you can find something you like...

Please post or send any suggestions for growing the resource. Hopefully it helps spread high quality music to more people...

List updated with these great suggestions. I particularly liked the King Gizzard. I’d actually never heard them before, thanks. Give me raw emotion and creativity over technical perfection any time...

Here’s a re-link to it for anyone coming in to the end of the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGHgpVU3UuU&list=PLtQPqEWF2cIU787UucIe2jkQ5wi7kk2SS&index=2&t=7s
Little Richard captured at his zenith was pretty special for me - there’s not that much good footage around.

We are very fortunate for old TV specials.

Come on guys, I can‘t be the only music enthusiast on this forum !
I want to hear some of your stuff.
@schubert Thanks for posting. I’m open to every genre, although you’re correct that classical is not in my normal wheelhouse. I’d already put all of your suggestions on the list, regardless.

I’d argue with the "real" label though. I find it very unnatural how the genre works to remove dancing and movement from the musical situation. It is amazing what classical composers and musicians accomplish, but physical entrainment to musical content is a basic human trait. I’ve never understood its removal from an audience... aside from religion-related social control, of course.
@pesky_wabbit And agreed on little richard. It's a shame the recordings are so poor. They regularly just spit out high frequency hash... such a shame. Like you say though, at least there's some record. The man can control a room.
