And the modern web search tools don't even try to be good at searching, but some engagement-bullshit-here-is-something-that-might-interest-you contraption.

I love listening to bootlegs (recording of a concert that is not official, mostly done by fans). I happen to be a fan of a band that has quite dedicated fan base and tons of bootlegs. I remember, and I'm quite sure of it, that I could type "<BAND> <SONG> <YEAR> live" in youtube search and get pages upon pages of exactly that. Recording of the song by the band, in given year.

Today if I type "tool right in two live" I get:

actually what I requested - 12

official audio - 1

cover song - 4

other song by the band - 12

full concert - 4

"reaction" video - 4

And after that there are mostly "reaction" videos, yea, just what I wanted. Try it out, it's actually funny (and sad).
