For digital the first thing that came to my mind that has any sort of real historical value is my personal recording of Boards of Canada's latest full-length
Tomorrow's Harvest. After a very long wait and mountains of hype , on June 3rd, 2013, BOC live broadcasted the full album online a couple of days ahead of release. I remember the broadcast time happened to line up very inconveniently with the end of my shift that night, so I had like 10 minutes to make it home on a walk that normally took 20. I made it just in time to launch Audacity, open their site, and hit record, missing about 10 seconds of the intro track. I've since bought a genuine recording of the record but that recorded stream has some pretty memorable personal significance, especially with the missing first 10 seconds, I had never been that hyped for a record release before.
