Where Else Can You Stream Live Music Performances?
If YouTube’s various Coachella feeds aren’t enough to scratch your musical itch, there are several on-demand streaming services that carry on-demand recordings of live performances from highly popular acts. The Streamable has a list of recommendations on which streamers offer the best in recorded musical performances.
Disney+ is our top choice, because of the sheer variety of music content it offers. This streamer is home to several performances from global megastars, including “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” movie and Swift’s “Folklore: The Long Pond Sessions.” Concerts from the Korean pop group BTS and longtime sensation Elton John are also available to stream on Disney+, and the service is home to “The Beatles: Get Back,” an intimate look at the Fab Four in their final days as a group using only archival footage.
Prime Video has a wide range of live music content available, including performances by BTS. Other artists available with a Prime Video subscription include classics like the Phil Collins, Prince, The Rolling Stones and The Who, while more contemporary artists on the streamer include Trace Adkins, Ryan Bingham Kendrick Lamar, Wu-Tang Clan and more. Prime Video has some of the best live music variety of any subscription video service not specially focused on concert performances.
Swifties who aren’t satisfied with the amount of content they find on Disney+ should also check out Netflix, which carries the Taylor Swift documentary “Miss Americana.” Netflix also carries Beyonce’s “Homecoming,” as well as “ariana grande: excuse me, i love you,” and recorded live performances by artists like Justin Timberlake, Bruce Springsteen, Ben Platt, Shawn Mendes and other artists.
