There i was, looking at a recently discovered artist's website when i followed a link which led me to one of the most amazing websites i've seen lately, even if only due to it's content. I'm not a big fan of the use of Flash in certain types of websites, but that's a matter for another day. Moving on...

At first i was surprised that they had a full live show of Andrew Bird available as a 500kbits wmv stream – amazing quality, if you have broadband. there's also a 56kbps stream for dial-up users – , which i devoured happily. It was after that when i realized how BIG their list of available shows was! They're featuring 380 full live shows – and counting! – recorded mostly at the Paradiso, in Netherlands. If you're expecting to see a bunch of unknown band names, you're in for a surprise.

Here's a little sample of who they have there.

• Andrew Bird
• Damien Rice
• Danko Jones
• Flogging Molly
• Death From Above 1979
• Morcheeba
• Trivium
• The Arcade Fire
• Sarah Bettens
• Stereophonics
• Nightwish
• and lots more...

So even if you're not into any of these bands make sure you check the whole list because the odds are you're going to find something you like.

Plus, there's an RSS feed, so you can keep track of new shows available on the site. There's also a mailing list, if that rocks your boat.
