it always ends up like this. getting drunk by myself and coming back to videos of my favourite elliott lives.. I always get a little sad that i'll never be able to see him play, but then again i'm also so fucking happy that i get to hear the music he made. Every day, whenever I need it. As always, thank you elliott, thank you so much. I miss you a lot, but it's sort of okay, I guess.
I've been aware to ES a couple of months agao bec I'm tired of listening to electropop nowadays so I checked Billboards greatest album of 2000's and I'm drawn to him an his music and his death, of course. But all is said and done I was captivated by this rare artist who creates such meaningful, clearly understated talent that the world has never been introduced.
(cont.) Instead here we are surrounded by untalented freaks conquering what they call Music. With no artistic something whatever! ES is such an inspiration, his music, his style, my God, the world don't make that kind of recording artist now! Def my favorite song of him as I run down thru his entire discography! I'm glad I met him by his music! RIP.
Essentially, this is the greatest songwriter of all time.
💯
agreed!!!
Him and Sufjan Stevens
Absolutely, for me at least
One of …
elliott's smile kills me every time man... i love what this man did - more than almost everyone i've met in my life.
I love that he calls them his sisters and not his half-sisters.
Why?
@@Lnninpz they don't have the same father as Elliott
I have a half-sister and I’ve never called her anything but my sister.
Elliott Smith fans are a great community, not a single comment on the first page is without a thumbs up.
RIP the greatest man to have ever lived.

I can totally relate man.
I got to see him in 2000 in a small venue. I am SO grateful for this. RIP Elliot
I really think he’s the greatest ever songwriting on another level those chord progressions are genius beyond belief
elliott on a stage with just him and his guitar is such magic.
His sisters have good taste. One of my favorites of his.
Mine too, ‘Figure 8’ was one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
One of my favorite songs too! Love that he smiled when he mentioned his sisters, it was cute.
The way his chord changes flow so perfect/natural with his melodies; just phenomenal...
So much emotion in that voice. One in a million. RIP Elliott.
This video has pushed me over the edge of debate in getting a ES tattoo. I'm thinking "Everything is exactly right" from St Ides Heaven.
Damn he was always so humble, like he doesn't think he deserved to play in front of a bunch of fans...
Love you Elliott. Wish I had been in Olympia back in those days.
I love how he subtly gives the finger in between chords at 2:12
this song is like a volcano
Yes
Elliott is my favourite songwriter of all time. So much beauty, soul and emotional depth in his songwriting that few artists can match.
His smile is a lovely intoxicant.
One girl in the crowd says Supidity tries hahshasj, thanks a life Elliot
I wish i was his sister too :~~ So cute and precious
damn
@Malocclusiontenfour He is so sweet!
there's no thumb down. it's a thumb up from down under.
From Australia
hhaaha

Is this full concert available anywhere? Or at least the setlist/song order
@LeopardPyrate I made a playlist of all the songs of this concert, in order called Live In Olympia
@Mestup998 I plan on getting Elliott inspired tattoos as well. There's really nobody better to have permanently represented on your body.
This guy went at 34. He looks about 54. He definitely had the soul of about infinity4.
Sophie Thatcher Just Watched This Video.
His honey voice with a bit of gravel..grave gravel
Concisely put my friend :P
standard tuning on the guitar?
I think so yes. There’s tabs on the site smiling at confusion which seem very accurate compared to this video
what were those marks/scars on his face.were they acne scars? not criticising just curious
yes
such a well written song. he must have been a smart guy. anyone dumber wouldn't be able to overthink themselves to suicide.
Er, by that logic no dumb person has ever committed suicide. 🥴
He changed the lyrics, instead of conquistador he says , "some spanish ____?" Does anyone know What he says?
+Derek Keller thanks!
+Derek Keller cool! Make sure you have it close up on your fret hand!! That's the most important part!! 🙂 i wanna learn!! I don't do well with tabs
he says 'Spanish Whore.'
@@celam1244 I think its "lord" when I listen to it. Those two words are basically interchangeable in the context hes given though, so who cares lol.
