YouTube audio quality is wide spread depending on the recording process from smartphone to mixer take. But what is the audio quality worth for me on the above videos when I don't like the music and the artist? Therefore I have to take the audio quality as it is when I like the music.

The live recordings of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra are fantastic - I bought several BDs so far. Still waiting for the Viking concert BD, here are some excerpts:
Skin Deep – The Art of Jazz Drumming | Frankfurt Radio Big Band | Live
From German Public television with good sound.

FWIW, I bought their album based on this U-Toob.
Lots of good ones here https://duckduckgo.com/?q=zycopolis+productions&atb=v452-3gl&iax=videos&ia=videos

I am unsure what the criteria are for this thread to count as "live music". If it is a single live performance of a song recorded in one go without a bunch of overdubs, there are a few videos in this thread that I wouldn't count as "live music" in my book.
Don't get me wrong, what I'm saying is not about performing the song in front of an audience as it can also be a live performance in a studio, but when it comes to the video in your first post and also the one above in post #33, there is not much that indicates that what is heard is truly a live performance recorded in one go.
In the video in the first post, the girl changes her clothing in the middle of the video, so how do we even know that it truly is a live performance we hear and not a "collage" of recordings? The same thing goes with the music in post #33, the girl has the microphone in a position that indicates that the video has nothing to with what is heard, and the drummer and the bassist aren't even there so I guess the video performance is just the two guitarists and the singer playing along with what was already recorded in a studio (live or not live).
So then it begs to question, where do we draw the line between what is truly a "live" recording and what may be an audio production containing a bunch of overdubs recorded to click tracks, and possibly 20 different takes cut together as in a regular studio production and with everything that comes with that?
Here below are two examples.
In the first video, I'm not sure what is "live" and/or what may have been put together in the post-production, while the second video is likely a single live performance.

Maybe, as a classical music (and limited jazz trio and popular music) lover, I would be a stranger on this thread...
Nevertheless, let me share this very gentle calm and quiet live piano concerto performance, Shostakovich's second movement of Piano Concerto No.2 in F Major Op.102 performed by Martin Helmchen, London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Jurowski; amazingly beautiful music and also a nice challenge to our audio system. (I also shared this track here on my project thread as a portion of my Audio Reference/Sampler Music Playlist.)
