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...

@jeecc Great that that performance was captured, but a shame its quality isn't better. You inspired me to create a second playlist for performances like this that aren't recorded as well as stuff on the primary list. The obvious criteria being that the performance is just totally committed like this one. Gave me a good place to put some Rage against the machine and the little richard recommendations from @pesky_wabbit too.

Dropped it on the homepage with the other playlist...

Unfortunately Public Television in Ontario was not exactly using state of the art, live concert probably recorded on someone’s $99 VHS and uploaded years later. Saw them when they were still a duo, their electronic equipment filled the whole stage, put out an amazing sound. You can probably find a decent copy of Black Noise for a few dollars.

Luther Allison yer again at his incendiary best. The sound is lacking in bottom end, but the performance is electric.

The Sadistic Mika Band Clip was a bit of an eye opener - I had anly heard their more poppy stuff. Amazing! John Peel was always great for presenting interesting new music. And The Old Grey Whistle Test was such a great music platform.
