Live Music on TV

Moving away from concerts or performances in front of an audience, a different take on the "Live Music on Television" format can be found on the Sundance channel with their broadcast of the UK Channel 4 station's Live from Abbey Road.  The show eschews traditional music presentation by leaving the band alone with its instruments and a camera to perform their songs in a bare-bones environment which "look like a movie and sound like a record."  I can thank this show for introducing me to a few artists of today that I actually enjoy listening to.


Thus, for your viewing and listening pleasure, here's the 2009 performance by The Black Keys. The three song set includes "I Got Mine," "Here I Am I Always Am," and "Same Old Thing."  More performances from this show will certainly follow in the future.
