Basically no shows are happening due to the coronavirus outbreak (though some artists are doing livestreams instead), but if you’re already jonesing to see a show, or just need a brief distraction from the insanity of the world right now, thankfully there’s YouTube which has an amazing array of live footage from throughout the history of pop music, from clips from concert films, TV performances and other pro-shot footage, to tons of fan-shot video from shows. If you’re looking for a place to start, we’ve been picking some of our favorites. Here are five more:
Sloan @ Arboretum Music Festival, Ottawa 2016
Sloan are a cult band in the U.S. but in Canada they are pretty famous, having had a number of big hits in the ’90s including “Money City Maniacs” which remains a hockey stadium classic. Here they are in their element, at Ottawa’s Arboretum Music Festival in 2016. Usually for Canadian festivals it’s just a greatest hits set, but this was part of the anniversary tour for 1996’s great One Chord to Another, so we get that whole album played in full, plus a second set of hits, including “Money City Maniacs,” “Losing California,” “Penpals,” “The Other Man” and their grammar-gaze anthem “Underwhelmed.” Look out for when drummer Andrew Scott comes from behind the kit to sing his songs, and bassist Chris Murphy takes over on drums and goes full Keith Moon.
