OK, YouTube is the best way of procrastinating when you have exams or work, but seriously, without YouTube (or Internet videos sharing), imagine the pain of finding good live footage of your favourite bands and artists.
We would have to rely on the good will (!!!) of MTV to show, once per decade, some potable live music performances. Or turn on a time machine.
The LondonY picked 6 videos of unforgettable live music moments available on YouTube and would love to share more of them in the future. We’re open to your recommendations and we will share the good music!
For the first playlist- enjoy watching Lou Reed and David Bowie having fun on I’m Waiting for the Man, Johnny Cash singing with June Carter on Jools Holland (with Jools on piano), Little Richard rocking the room in 1964, 200 guitarists playing la Valse d’Amélie and more!

I love the video of Lou and David performing at Madison Square Garden – and Lou is even smiling! (which is rare). RIP David and Lou

Haha yes! It’s so rare to see Lou smiling, it must hint that he is really enjoying sharing this moment on stage with Bowie!
