U2 Concert to Stream Live on YouTube
Posted in Concert, Live, U2, Video, YouTube on the October 23, 2009
California, US: U2 have confirmed via video blog that their sold-out concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in California, Sunday 25th October 2009 will be streamed free, in full and live on YouTube. It’s the first time a show of this size will be streamed live.
The Rose Bowl show is the penultimate U2 show this year - with more to come in 2010 - and already is set to host the venue’s biggest ever audience of over 96, 000 fans. The 360? Tour, which has been critically acclaimed and “re-invents rock’n’roll”*, will now boast unique access for fans worldwide - as fans in territories yet to be visited by the tour, or not at all, will be able to enjoy the whole show online. Managed in partnership with Live Nation, this sell-out tour has broken attendance records in most venues it has visited - its success due in part to increased capacity coupled with a lower ticket price and great sight lines afforded by the stunning in-the-round stage set. Visit U2.com or youtube.com/u2official for details of how to join in this ground-breaking on-line event.
U2 manager Paul McGuinness said - “The band has wanted to do something like this for a long time. As we’re filming the LA show, it’s the perfect opportunity to extend the party beyond the stadium. Fans often travel long distances to come to see U2 - this time U2 can go to them, globally.”
YouTube will be streaming live across five continents. The show will be available in the usual You Tube way, as video-on-demand, following two full replays - after the live stream - on both U2.com and You Tube.
“YouTube is thrilled to be able to provide our global audience with a live streaming performance from one of the world’s greatest bands” - Chris Maxcy, Director of YouTube Partner Development. “We are always looking for new ways to connect fans around the world with their favourite artists, and this is the perfect opportunity to do just that.”
Nirvana Preview School Video from Live From Reading
Posted in DVD, Live, Nirvana, Song, Video, YouTube on the October 9, 2009
Nirvana headlining at Reading in 1992 was something you had to see, and if you didn’t see it then it was something you pretended you saw.”
Kerrang (October 2003)
“The staggering energy and intensity radiating from the stage never let up… Cobain’s ravaged pop songs coming off like some dream marriage of the Sex Pistols and the Beatles, borne on bracing waves of distorted guitar noise.”
Rolling Stone (October 29, 1992)
Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine’s “100 Gigs That Shook The World” and voted as “Nirvana’s #1 Greatest Moment” by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana’s historic August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the UK’s Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock n roll. Now, fans will have an opportunity to own a pristine copy of that entire performance — color-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters. Nirvana Live At Reading will be issued in a limited edition CD+DVD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations on November 3, 2009, followed by a 2LP version on November 17, 2009.
While the show’s centerpiece was a performance of nearly the entire Nevermind tracklist, also noteworthy were early performances of three as yet unrecorded songs which wouldn’t be released until 2 years later on In Utero: “All Apologies,” “Dumb,” and in its first ever public performance, “Tourettes.” The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the band’s 1989 Sub Pop debut album, Bleach, for “Blew,” “About A Girl,” “School,” “Negative Creep” and first single “Love Buzz,” and even further back to the mid-‘80s for “Spank Thru.” Other songs from the Reading set would appear in studio form on the Incesticide compilation later in the year: “Aneurysm,” “Been A Son” and “Sliver.” Additionally, the band played a pair of beloved covers by two bands that helped shape the formative Nirvana sound – “The Money Will Roll Right In” by Fang and “D-7″ by The Wipers.

Warner Music Settles with YouTube
Posted in MTV, Video, YouTube on the October 2, 2009
Warner Music Group has finally reached an agreement with YouTube that will allow label artists to put up their music videos on the site. Videos from the Warner label were removed from the streaming site after licensing agreement talks broke down last December over financial disagreements. However, though the details of the agreement have yet to become public knowledge, executives say that Warner Music will “receive the majority of advertising revenue generated around the music clips.” All that’s left now is for YouTube and Viacom/MTV to kiss and make up and the world will be a great and happy place again.

Lady Gaga Teases the VMAs
Posted in Lady Gaga, MTV VMA, YouTube on the September 9, 2009
In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, Lady Gaga gave a few details about her highly anticipated MTV VMAs performance. She talked about everything from her outfit to the lighting and even on how much of a perfectionist she is. The singer said “I like to watch my performances sometimes. I’m always trying to improve on choreography and the stage shows. I like to watch the lighting. I often argue with my lighting designer on the show; as much as I like to light the show for the room, it’s important to light the show and design the sound for YouTube. In truth, lots of my fans can’t make it to my shows in Israel or Germany or in Paris, so they go online to watch them.”

Susan Boyle is a Diva
Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, YouTube, susan boyle on the June 12, 2009
Susan Boyle freaked out tour promoters when the singer refused to show up for rehearsal on Tuesday, the day before opening night. Apparently, the singer is still in negotiations over the launch show. The YouTube sensation didn’t want to rehearse with the rest of the Britain’s Got Talent finalists as she reportedly only wants to perform a couple of shows out of the 23 UK tour venues to conserve her voice for her debut album. A source said “We’re leaving everything up to her, to make sure that she’s happy and well. But the problem is that she changes her mind every two minutes.” I can’t believe she’s turned into a diva already! Don’t screw this up Susan, stay grounded.

Susan Boyle is Out of Rehab
Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, YouTube, susan boyle on the June 10, 2009
Susan Boyle was released from London’s Priory clinic last week after being given a clean bill of health. The Britain’s Got Talent runner up spent a total of five days in the center being treated for exhaustion and anxiety after the show’s disappointing finale. The YouTube sensation’s brother said of his sister’s well-being “She’s much happier. She seems a lot more like herself. Things are becoming clearer for her now. She’s now beginning to believe that, ‘Yes, indeed, I will be a singer.” I wish her the best of luck with her career. I believe in her and I’m sure that a lot of people do too!
No Jonas Brothers on YouTube
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Singer, Singers, Video, YouTube on the June 10, 2009
The Jonas Brothers’ YouTube account has just been suspended and none of the videos they have posted can be accessed on the site. It seems like the band of brothers didn’t go through the appropriate channels when they posted a video of Joe dancing to Beyonce’s hit ‘Single Ladies’. Beyonce is on Sony BMG, a competing label to the Jonas’ Hollywood Records. The label probably sent a cease and desist order to YouTube. The clip has since been removed due to terms of use violation. Couldn’t they have just yanked that video instead of suspending the account and yanking all the other videos?
