Tom Waits, Le Grand Rex Paris, 24th July 2008: Gig Reconstruction - The notion has occurred to me ever since I tracked all the videos from Supersonic last year, but this is the first time I've seen someone attempt to completely reconstruct a concert using mobile phone footage uploaded to YouTube. 12 out of 25 songs is not a bad hit ratio.

By the way, if you want to get analytical this is real crowdsourcing and citizen journalism. Not asking people to get stuff or send stuff to you but harvesting what the crowd collectively produces as autonomous agents. So there.
