After a discussion about the quality of the sound of one of Lynda Elstad or @lyndahere’s fan videos on Twitter someone stated on Twitter
@ddrocked Then there’d be few UTube fanvideos! Most sound, look crap. It’s part of the fun. 6 November 2012.
@ddrocked If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Don’t try to control what anyone else does. 6 November 2012.
@lyndahere may be the first to get her videos up, be the closest to the stage but the quality of the sound is often affected….some people who are further away from the stage make better sound fan videos. @lyndahere videos often monopolise YouTube searches but there are a lot of other fan videos to watch of Great Big Sea, Alan Doyle and the Crowe/Doyle Songbook that are better quality. For these people bootlegging is for fun and only occasionally.
I have done some careful research on YouTube and decided to write a list of fan videos of Great Big Sea, Crowe/Doyle Songbook and Alan Doyle that are not from Between the Rock. I was going to set up a site on YouTube but changed my mind as I don’t have the time to manage it. The criteria for selection are based almost entirely on sound. Some are official videos of concerts for example from South Sydney Media but the majority are bootlegged.
I have included videos over the past 12 months from the Indoor Garden Party in New York and Newfoundland, Russell Crowe’s and Alan Doyle’s visit to Iceland and other Alan Doyle’s promotional tours and concerts earlier this year that I have watched and take some finding on YouTube as Between the Rock often monopolises the searches. The Killing Song is mentioned more than once because it is my favourite Crowe/Doyle song. Great Big Sea fan videos are to come.
