Maybe you can use this as a teaching moment for the performance.  Point 
out to the choreographers the difference in sound quality between the 
youtube video and the iTunes/Amazon sources.

We are flexible in our performance venues, but we rigidly enforce audio 
standards when it comes to the football stadium.  We've found that the 
larger size of the PA there really brings out the crap in poor quality 
sources.
