Crowd Sourced Adam Lambert Concert Video vs. Professional Production

This is cool. I saw that someone live streamed a portion of Adam Lambert's concert from last night. The sound and video quality were horrible weren't the best.

[Update: Bad original choice of words. I love the fact that people are sharing moments live, and that viewers can chat along. The sound and video quality depends on a lot of variables as are discussed in the comments.]

Made me take a look at YouTube to see what people were uploading from Adam's concerts.

I wathched three videos and they improved in quality with each one. [In reverse chronological order from Best to Worst]


  1. [YouTube] Adam Lambert "If I Had You" Recorded Live 5/22/10 Boston http://bit.ly/d7fnPp






  2. [YouTube] Adam Lambert "If I Had You" Recorded Live 5/15/10 LA http://bit.ly/cPejw1






  3. [YouTube] Adam Lambert "If I Had You" Recorded Live 6/4/10 Wilkes Barre http://bit.ly/aHEeEo

The Boston video is a screen capture of a professional production. But let's go back to crowd-sourced video.

Check this compilation. It takes footage from multiple people who were at the same concert.


Adam Lambert - Strut *IMPROVED VERSION* Fantasy Springs
Download the HD/iPod mp4/mp3 of this performance at my blog http://bit.ly/AloFSStrut. I edited the best footage from anthrogeekPF, etharei8, lekispop, mywilson3235, TALCvids & TheLambertLuvva, setting it to tinafea's recording which I cleaned up & enhanced.

This is from the concert in Indio on 27/02/10. Thanks to all the videographers for capturing the concert and to Adam Lambert for a thrilling show.
I enjoyed seeing people capture moments, and then the creativity of someone else pulling it all together.

In the end, the professional production beats them all for audio and video quality, but crowd sourced video can't be beat for immediacy and authenticity in capturing a live event.


What are your thoughts?

Update from the comments:



ADAM LAMBERT Glam Nation tour AFTERMATH in Wilkes Barre.

Also by indybeck71, his hit single, Whataya Want From Me, and the Muse-penned Soaked.

Great job with the quality and fast turnaround.
