Ps; don’t be alarmed, the site did change. I had to use a new WordPress theme, because the old one didn’t work suddenly with the version of MySQL that my host is running. You’re in the right place, though. No need for panic.
Question Asked: What’s the Longest Concert or Live Music Performance Ever Recorded?
Depending on who you ask, and what your definition of “recorded” is. I’m assuming you mean “on record”, as in “happened in the past.”
Some would argue that the longest concert is actually the longest song ever written, that I previously wrote about. They’re saying the 639 year-long “song”, is now being performed as a concert? I call BS on that. If someone can’t attend your concert within their lifetime, it’s not a concert.
The actual longest concert on record took place in Japan, over the course of nine days. 900 Japanese musicians performed over 184 hours, though a rather large earthquake, too.
The previous record was set up in Canada, with a 182 hour concert.
One could argue that this isn’t really a “concert” in the traditional sense of the word. In that case, the actual record for a “band” type concert, is from “Comaganin Raaga Priya Light Music Orchestra for the Visually Impaired” in Chennai, India, from April 27th through April 29th, 2007.
An other interesting “concert” record, Deepest concert underground - The deepest concert underground was at 2,434.4 ft below sea level at Copper Cliff North Mine, Copper Cliff, Ontario, Canada and was performed by Evolutionary Band on April 27th 2007.
