Ugh - I may be revealing my Luddite roots here, but what happened to getting to know bands by listening to their music?
Nothing I've ever seen on YouTube can compare to seeing something live, something live that you're familiar with, that the stranger next to you is familiar with, and energy fills the room, and the band plays off of it.
To be sure I enjoy a good performer and performance, But watching Robert Fripp Rock the house while being seated on a chair to me was just as compelling as seeing Eugene from Gogol Bordello crowd surf on a drum.
But then, I'm aural.
