Videos I’m Diggin’: Watch My Top 5 Live Music Moments
On this New Year’s Day, and indeed every New Year’s Day, I am reminded of one of my very favorite clips on YouTube which takes place on New Year’s Day.
(I don’t think I’ve ever actually watched it all the way through since I just keep rewinding it to that moment.)
Such is my enjoyment of the above that I thought I would compile a list of my all-time top five videos of live music moments that make me exceedingly happy.
I hope they make you exceedingly happy, too.
5. Soil & “Pimp” Sessions live on Jools Holland, 2007
Unmatched intensity from my favorite Japanese jazz outfit setting fire to the air with “A.I.E.”

4. Jamie Woon sings acapella from a wooden canoe in the middle of a flooded rainforest in Cambodia, 2011
Incredible. Need to open my next DJ set with this.

3. Beastie Boys Live in Glasgow, Scotland, 1999
WHAT a start to a show.
2. Sherelle’s Boiler Room, London, 2019
Scroll to 23:14 to witness the sheer euphoria that is unleashed when Sherelle drops the Fixate remix of Double 99’s “RIP Groove.”
1. Todd Edwards’ first ever UK show in Romford, UK, 2003
Just.
Pure.
Joy.
