Posting audio from a concert. Is it illegal?

Last summer I got the chance to see my favorite band live. During the concert, the lead singer did an acoustic version of one of their songs and it was beautiful. I recorded a video of it on my iPhone and I was thinking about stripping the audio from it and posting it as an audio post on Tumblr. I run a fan blog for said band, so I know my followers would really like to hear it. Is this illegal, though? It's obviously not a high-quality recording, and it would only be one song. Could I get in trouble for it? Thanks!

Added (1). It's obvious, but I thought I would just add: I obviously wouldn't be selling it, making a profit off of it or let other people download it. I just thought it would be a cool thing for people to hear.

Unless you own the copyright to the song or have permission to use it from the copyright holder yes, it"s illegal.

Tony's answer is correct, assuming there's a copyright. Most groups really appreciate the fact that they have fans. The best thing to do is to ask them. Most bands have some kind of contact info on their website. If you post it, disable the comments section to keep out the haters.

  • What should I bring to my one direction concert? I'm planning on bringing my iPhone and digital camera in a very small side bag. Is that a good idea? And how much money should I bring. Please only serious answers. Don't comment if you just want to diss one direction.
  • What if i can't print my concert tickets? I'm not able to print concert tickets for warp tour, but i have the file on my iphone, it clearly shows my tickets and the barcode, will i be able to let them scan that/would they?
  • What cameras are best for concert photography? I love going to concerts but my iphone camera is just not too good at taking photos at concerts. Is there any cheapish cameras that are good at taking photos and or videos at concerts?
  • Things to do before a concert? I'm 12 and I'm going to a concert next year on July 8th and all my cousins (I'm the youngest) have a tradition that in the year running up to the concert you need to make a list of 15-20 things to do and complete them before the concert or you have to pay 25% of the next concert ticket price and including me there are 13 of us. Really don't want to pay too much for the tickets next time because I'm saving up for an iPhone.
