Black Midi, New Road - 2020 Livestream

About This Movie

So there’s this livestream from December 5, 2020, featuring Black Midi and New Road, two really interesting bands that were making waves in the UK. It’s not just a typical concert; it feels raw and spontaneous, with a great mix of jams and an original track that later appeared on New Road’s album. The pacing shifts between high-energy moments and more introspective grooves, creating an atmosphere that’s both electric and laid-back. The way they play off each other is quite something, capturing that essence of collaboration you don’t always get in a studio setting. It’s just over an hour long, but it feels like a journey through sound, which is what makes it stand out in the sea of livestreams from that period.

This livestream is a bit of a rarity since it was a charity event, making it not just a performance but a piece of music history. Collector interest might be on the rise, especially given the buzz around both bands in the UK music scene. As for format, it seems to exist mainly in digital form, but the scarcity of such collaborative performances does make it an appealing piece for collectors looking to capture that specific moment in time.
