![]() ![]() Of all the Nick Cave live content out there, Live at the Paradiso (originally released on VHS in 1992) isn’t necessarily the most technically precise, but the film and sound quality are great. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – Live at the Paradiso The set included tracks from throughout their catalogue, as well as a cover of The Cure’s “Disintegration,” but the real stunner here is a slower, shoegazey interpretation of You Fail Me‘s “Last Light,” featuring guest vocals from Chelsea Wolfe. But even more interesting was “Blood Moon,” a specially curated set of some of their more atmospheric, epic and dirgey material. For one, they performed their acclaimed album Jane Doe in its entirety, which was a fairly unusual occurrence for a band not necessarily known for looking backward. The setlist is half composed of tracks from movement while the other half is made up of early singles such as “Ceremony” and “Everything’s Gone Green.” But while the band’s debut has sometimes been criticized for sounding a bit too much like the band they once were, here the live intensity of tracks like “Senses” and “Chosen Time” reveal just how much they’d evolved since their Joy Division days.īack in 2016, Converge did something a little different at their Roadburn festival appearance. (And most eras if we’re being honest.) The opening rush of “Psycho Killer” is a hell of a start, but the psychedelic Afro-funk freakout of “Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)” is the most triumphant moment among nonstop standouts.Ĭaptured around the time that the band had released Movement, making the transition into an entirely new band after the death of Ian Curtis and the end of Joy Division, this live set is New Order at their post-punk peak. The theatrics are dialed down a little bit, and the sound is a little bit rawer, but what’s perhaps lost in cinematic mystique is made up for by a band who, in sheer musicianship and stage presence, could make the case for being the best band of the new wave era. ![]() Though you can actually rent Talking Heads’ legendary Stop Making Sense on Youtube, it’s worth spending an hour with this earlier performance from the band, which leans a bit heavier on material from their 1980 masterpiece Remain in Light. ![]() Sit back and witness something spectacular. The ensemble of legendary musicians embark on an uninterrupted journey through jazz’s then most far-out territory, one track seamlessly transitioning into the next, each groove going deeper, each soloist pushing that much farther with each sustained note. It’s not so much a jazz concert as a document of genuine wizardry. If you want to see a jazz visionary at the peak of his powers, watch this full set from the Tanglewood Festival in Lenox, Massachusetts where Miles Davis and his band delve into some truly fiery interpretations of tracks from Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way. You could just start any moment at random here- “Primary,” “One Hundred Years,” “Push”-and see something outstanding. But atmosphere is only part of what makes the concert, which-despite featuring no material from Disintegration-is the band at their prime, featuring one of the best lineups in The Cure’s entire run, not to mention all of these songs are amazing. in the French countryside, the set is essentially The Most Goth Thing on Earth. Recorded at an ancient coliseum erected in the 1st century A.D. In Orange is something of a legendary concert for The Cure, in part because of its setting. Updated January 2022 The Cure – In Orange (August 1986, France) Here are 10 great concerts you can find on YouTube but, of course, you don’t have to stop here. So while we’re all practicing social distancing, we might as well revisit a great show from the past. The fun thing, however, is being able to go back and check out bands you maybe didn’t get to see the first time, or maybe watch a legendary performance that few of us actually had the chance to witness. In fact, YouTube has countless complete live concerts from a lot of great bands. ![]() So, lots of time on the couch it is! But just because we can’t go out and see live music in person right now (most of us, anyway) doesn’t mean we can’t still see a good concert. The Covid-19 outbreak has pretty much put the brakes on live performances until it’s safe to resume social interactions with large numbers of people. OK, so, it’s time we face an unfortunate truth: We’re not going to see any live music for a little while. ![]()
