I like this...YouTube teaming up with Arcade Fire to bring high quality live music to the site

YouTube is now in the live event streaming business (were they already and I just didn't know?). Starting with Arcade Fire's August 5th show at MSG, YouTube will be offering live streaming events through the site with high quality sound, multiple camera angles and some user generated material.

Here's more:

"Unstaged" promises incredible online features that wouldn't be available even to those who dropped the cash on tickets and fought their way through mobs at MSG. At certain concerts, for example, YouTube fans will be able to vote on encore performances for the band to play. Viewers will also be able to switch camera angles, and judging from the preview below, it looks like YouTube users might get the best seats in the house. Plus, even if you missed the show, the concert in its entirety will be available for streaming soon after it's over.

Full story and promo video here.
