my favourite YouTube 'live performances'

[徐中銳]

YouTube, it's a common resource.

 

I'm fondest of the human voice, often searching out stripped-back on-air versions, evaluating diverse uploads...

 

The following 3, from Andrew Bird's new album, are especially wondrous :

If WFUV Public Radio productions are to your liking, explore more here.

 

And HDMI from Panasonic Blu-ray player to Marantz Cinemarium soundbar is how I listen, watch. Sure, your method might be through a computer. But, our starting reference, YouTube's 720p

Yeah, only when I'm sure its exceptional will I share—here, a personal commitment.

I haven't even scratched the surface with YouTube, but this one is a favorite. JPJ on mandolin, to boot:

Have found that WFUV too recorded them, on 11/10/2015 ; let's compare their sound engineering :

Today it has to be;

As favourites, am rigorous in choosing which can stand to publicly indicate my...

I find Jeremy Irons' voice musical and have often searched through uploads, this recent example is apt for many reasons :

Discovered Margaret Glaspy last week, here's 3 that can stand as part of my definitive favourites (out of the many uploads I've now seen) :

Dennis, searching, I found the following charming even if its sound recording was Lo-Fi :

Yes, GoGo Penguin, definitely worth a try, they're part of « Blue Note Records, the Mercury Prize nominated contemporary jazz trio »

Slowest Bach suite no.1, ever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL95vwU92qo

YouTube's low-bit-rate audio is perhaps best for renditions such as :

And looking further, oftentimes, musicians like her have recorded their own CD of originals

 

The cover whereby I found her :

I posted this link in the "Blind Faith" thread, but in case you missed it, we were talking about Ginger Baker and the rock drum solo. If you've always wanted more cowbell, this one is exceptional:

Although Institut National de l'Audiovisuel's recent upload (29 minutes compilation) of Piaf wasn't a meticulous remastered transfer into 1080p, favourite... :

Warning, if you've PSE, flashing images ; Set list :

• L'accordéoniste
  
• La vie en rose
  
• La goualante du pauvre Jean
  
• Les 3 cloches
  
• L'homme à la moto
  
• Milord
  
• La foule
  
• Non, je ne regrette rien
  
• Mon Dieu
  
• Emporte-moi

There's next week's nightmares sorted out then ;-)

And HDMI from Panasonic Blu-ray player to Marantz Cinemarium soundbar is how I listen' date=' watch.[/font']

 

Because I prefer sitting, lazying on the floor, it's set up like this :

 

Yes, with short 50cm HDMI cables and a 4.3kg PH-22 to weigh down the DMP-BD81 ; a basic Blu-ray player since it seemed enough, being the shortest YouTube processing path, plus picture is better than either of my Mac minis.

 

However, I enjoy music videos best by using my Consolette, networked to a Mac mini, with smaller screen Trinitron CRT monitor.

 

There are subtleties with each setup I assemble, videos that sounded great in one system, may sound less engaging in the other.

 

It's difficult to share... For example, I like Eva Green's voice, but the audio of this favourite may lack richness, be tinny on your playback chain :

[徐中銳]

Before she passed away, a lady I knew often played Damien Rice songs...

 

Thinking of her :
