Why Encore
The right performance can change the song.
YouTube has decades of extraordinary live music. Encore makes that archive useful: it groups performances by song, filters out the noise and gives you a considered place to start.
Start with the standout take
Prepared performance quality and bounded listener recommendations shape the order. YouTube views, likes and comments do not decide what comes first.
Build your own live canon
Explore and watch without an account. Sign in only when you want to save a take, recommend a performance or collect songs into playlists.
