The Take Away Shows

The Take Away Shows are an amazing concept developed by La Blogotheque in Paris. Unusually staged, live performances are filmed in one take in a variety of locations, offering the viewer a unique and intimate performance existing somewhere between a live concert and music video. The videos allow people to experience the true genius and artistry of the artists, when all the bells and whistles are stripped away, and you are left with simply the artists, their talent, and their songs.

Two of my favourites:

Arcade Fire - "Neon Bible" in a freight elevator & "Wake Up" in the middle of the crowd.

Cold War Kids - "St. John" backstage of a television studio
