IROCKE continues its quest to organize the "global marketplace of live streaming concerts" with a look back at the top live streaming sources, music moments and festivals of 2012. Their choices are a clear indicator of just what a busy year it was for live streaming music and just how busy 2013 could get now that a solid foundation has been laid.
