Performance videos on the web

The following list of freely available performance videos on the Web is a work in progress. If you would like to add suggestions of your own, please do so in the comment section below. The videos are mostly excerpts since copyright laws and licensing don’t usually allow for performance videos to be uploaded to the Web without prior permission from the owner. This also means that videos come and go at a fast pace. If you find one of the links to be broken, please let us know and we’ll remove the entry or find an alternative. Thanks.
