Since we have the intimate part down…
Thanks to Coronavirus we’re all in self-isolation, and so begins a mad scramble for content. And since all our favourite TV shows, web series and podcasts are ALSO on lockdown, now is a good time to dig deep. Here then – before the torrent of content that will follow – is a very brief history of MuchMusic’s Intimate & Interactive.
MuchMusic Intimate & Interactive started in 1991 as an ongoing series of televised live concerts held in MUCH’s tiny Toronto studio. Artists were surrounded by die-hard fans who got to ask them any old question on their minds between songs.
Watch Cancon’s heyday unfold with Barenaked Ladies, the Tea Party, or the Tragically Hip; relive the splendour and majesty of alt-rock with full concerts from Foo Fighters or No Doubt; watch pop icons like the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys perform in a place the size of a Starbucks. Now begins the content dump. Keep safe guys.
This is amazing! Thank you! One question: If I were looking for an I&I that isn’t here, would it be possible to find it??
Hey Kyle! Thanks very much. Looks like Much has quite a few of them in their archives, but no embed link or code.
Where can you find that?
I think your missing Kid Rocks intimate and interactive performance
Where’s the Kid Rock one? The one was one of the best!
There was an I&I for Moist that can be found on you tube. Thank you so much for this.
Though the Prince 2004 Much More Music special wasn’t technically an I&I…it pretty much is!
Where is a the spice girls link? I was at the intimate and interactive when I was 8. Baby spice pulled me from the crowd
Hi Leah! I thought the whole thing wasn’t online but it looks like maybe they only did a few songs? Happy to put up what I’ve found.
Where is the Kid Rock one? It was one of the best.
You forgot about Moist.
It’s missing Sarah McLachlan!! Such a good one!
I use to sell so much blow and ludes on Queen W in the late 90s
Such a glorious time
No R.E.M. live on Yonge St? Hope you upload and share it.
Thanks for this! MuchMoreMusic (remember them?) made some of these as well … I went to one with Gordon Lightfoot back in the day.
Could you provide a link to Much’s archives, if they’ve got more?
Iggy Pop 1993, I was the fried looking guy in the fractal t shirt and leather jacket. He came out and did a song beside me. Anyone have that?
How bout Kim Mitchell? Think it was around 1992.
Missing Sarah McLachlan… pretty sure there are some clips on YouTube
Wow! Found the BNL I&I I was at in 1994! Amazing to see myself in the crowd!
