New concert footage archive hits YouTube
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 9 July 2014
A new YouTube channel called Music Vault launched yesterday, featuring an archive of more than 13,000 live videos, including both single tracks and full performances, spanning the last 50 years.
Run by the Wolfgang’s Vault website, the footage on the channel is drawn from various sources, such as Bill Graham Presents and Daytrotter. It will continue to be updated with video features and playlists over time.
Says Music Vault Content Editor Bill Antonucci: “After two years restoring, transferring, mixing and mastering thousands of tapes from our enormous archive, we’re thrilled and extremely proud to share this massive treasure with the YouTube audience”.
He goes on: “We believe this content deserves to be seen by the largest audience possible, and our partnership with YouTube allows us to do just that. Younger music fans will now be able to experience what it was like to see these classic bands at the peak of their powers while their parents relive the thrill of seeing shows they actually attended”.
Go straight over and have a look around the archive for yourself here, or if you need the concept of concert footage explained to you, here’s a handy video:
