livestream concerts
https://www.sfopera.com/digital/ - San Francisco Opera usually livestreams the 3rd performance of each of their regular season operas for $28, currently. A ticket gets you the original livestream and a 48 hour On Demand link that begins 1 to several days after the livestream. The next opera to be performed is Puccini's La Boheme, on Tuesday June 10 at 7:30pm PT. The on demand period starts on Jun 16 at 10am PT and ends Jun 18 at 10am PT.
https://www.sfjazz.org/ - SF Jazz broadcasts a livestream concert every Friday at 7:30pm PT, and almost always make it available on demand in a week or so. Membership is $7.50/month or $75/year.
https://www.jazzlive.com/ - Jazz at The Lincoln Center broadcasts lots of concerts, usually as 2 separate sets, 7pm ET & 9pm ET; sometimes a single set at 8pm ET, occasionally even a matinee performance. Most are not made available On Demand, but they do have a lot of programs you can watch/listen to any time. Membership is $9.99/month or $99.99/year
Traditionally, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass & Stern Grove concerts in San Francisco were also available online, but it seems like there's less and less, and it's getting harder to find...
Please feel feel free to share any sites that you've been using for those nights when you can't get to a live concert!
There's a great Bay Area jam/Grateful Dead style band called Moonalice, and they record every show (and that's a lot of shows) on audio and video available to watch on their website; here's the link to the 2025 shows, but they've got them for every year going back to 2007. Most recent gig was Union Square on Mothers' Day. https://www.moonalice.com/tour/archive/2025

Not a problem! I didn't mean to exclude on demand material, just a poor choice of title for the "Discussion". I can't say enough good things about Moonalice. They play every year at the Petaluma Music Festival benefit (Keeping Music In The Schools). One year they brought and displayed all 1000 of their concert posters at the time (they have one made for every concert they play)! |
@petaluman - a Moonalice fan - yeah!! Before the pandemic, they used to play one Wednesday during each summer month in Union Square, and I live about 2 blocks from there! They'd play from 6 - 8 pm, and they'd almost always bring along the maze of hundreds and hundreds of posters. Same when they would play 4/20 shows. I was a little late to the Moonalice party (only been a fan for 10 years!) but I'm so glad that Roger and his guys are continuing to do this... |
