We’re just one week away from Christmas — and, a few days after that, 2021. A new year is almost upon us, and this weekend will follow in the footsteps of those before it with a number of noteworthy live stream concerts to watch from the comfort (and safety) of your home.

Here are some of our picks for which live stream concerts to watch, Dec. 18-20.

Gordon Lightfoot Live from The El Mocambo — Friday, Dec. 18, 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT (Nugs.net, $39.99). 

Legendary Canadian singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot will play a special live stream concert event from Toronto’s The El Mocambo this Friday. In Rock Cellar’s recent feature interview, Lightfoot previewed the show like this:

We’re going to do an 85-minute show from the El Mocambo in Toronto, which is pretty legendary and also a newly reconditioned place, with great lights and a great sound system. I checked it out. And so we’ll have a wonderful show there for the fans. I’m going to do my best stuff.

We're less than a week away from Gordon @Lightfoot365's first-ever livestream performance! This Friday's show features a full-band production being shot in 4K with five cameras, LIVE from Toronto's @theelmocambo!
