Where to Find Live Music Online

If you like to music that was recored live, Jonathan Seff from MacWorld has put together an article not only about the technology being used these days to record concerts but also a listing of free and fee-based sources. Here are two paragraphs from the article.

One place to look is bt.etree.org, a BitTorrent tracker hosting concerts from many bands such as Phish, Gov't Mule, Little Feat, Matisyahu, Black Crowes, Los Lobos, and Blues Traveler. The Internet Archive's Live Music Archive also includes direct downloads of MP3 and FLAC-format concerts from hundreds of bands such as Cowboy Junkies, Grateful Dead, moe., My Morning Jacket, Radiators, Steve Kimock, Warren Zevon, and many others you may not have heard of. Both places are very strict about removing any band or venue that doesn't give permission to be there.

There are also larger sites that sell concerts for multiple bands. Wolfgang's Vault sells live recordings from the Bill Graham (nee Wolodia 'Wolfgang' Grajonca) archives as well as streams up to 10 hours of concerts per month for free to your computer or iPhone. The site recently added a membership option as well, which costs $48 a year and includes a $50 credit for purchasing concerts or merchandise (posters, t-shirts, and so on), discounts on additional concert downloads, unlimited streaming, higher quality streams, and more.
