I love YouTube [View all]

Not only are there countless funny videos that can help all of us stay sane, but YouTube has lots of uploads of recent concerts, videos from fans that are great fun to watch. If your favorite artists are touring, just search YouTube for the name and set the filter for recent videos, and there's a good chance you'll find new performances by your favorites.

Or they might just pop up in YouTube recommendations, as happened for me this morning when YouTube unexpectedly offered me video of a concert the night before last, the German band Toten Hosen at a small venue in Berlin. Love it -- the band's been together for 40 years, but they have amazing energy, and the crowd was really energized, too, and probably enjoying the beer.

This video shows them singing "Liebeslied" or "Love Song," a protest song from 1987 (German and English lyrics here: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/liebeslied-love-song.html-0 ).


WARNING: Some STROBING near the end of this video, starting after 3:10.

I should have told you if you watch YouTube on TV, using Amazon Firestick you will still get ads. SamKnause May 2022 #19
On Roku, too. But the ads tend to be very short, often 10-15 seconds or so, and if they're longer, highplainsdem May 2022 #20
