clementine bottle up and explode angeles waltz #2 st. ides heaven oh well, okay jealous guy say yes alameda division day between the bars independence day
...I recorded this video long ago...I went with two friends and we were able to get really close to the front of what eventually became easily over 200 people...there were two guys right in front of us that were cool enough to move a little bit out of the way because they saw that I was recording...it was pretty amazing...I felt a little guilty being right up on top of him but I figured screw it...it was pretty awesome...also saw him later that night play with quasi at Liberty lunch...he came up and accompanied them on "the poisoned well" which I believe may have been about the guy to begin with...afterwards, I was approached by a guy who wanted to trade a soundboard recording of the set for the tape of the show which I did, but before I was able to trade the tape, I went to a hypnotist performance at Utsa with my buddy...that would explain the weird recording at 28 minutes in...ill have to post that sound board recording in here soon...after the set we met him and gave him an antique photo of my friends' and i's artistic interpretation of "southern belle" and told him the reason we did it was because we figured that he was sick and tired of pictures of him...it was a memorable few moments with him...
If he was alive and I met him I’d definitely express how much I love his music but I’d also ask him where he got those chord progressions/inspiration from..at least his influences if any to make sense of how he could write so many beautiful but completely out of the box chord progressions..he has the Beatles flare with a lot of chords/Melodie’s but I feel like he combines classical influences or something..to have progressions that sound that amazing but haven’t been played before is pretty insane to me. Elton John could do magic with chords/melody too that was similarly complicated but obviously very different..he was a classically trained musician so I just wonder. It comes from your heart and your ear but there’s a lotta creative/technical thinking that makes it so masterful all together.
Greatest song writer ever since in my opinion. The Melodie’s he felt were so emotional and unique it’s like a John Lennon..a creativity that surpasses any technical boundary too..tho his songs are pretty complicated, he could write a song that does so much without ever showing off..every note and lyric was so genuine with melody that was so eerily beautiful. No one like him and sadly no one will ever be..I really wish he was still here.
17:36 - I just love how some guy told him to play a song backwards and he playfully obliged instead of rolling his eyes or ignoring him like some other performers would. He was so sweet, humble, and adorable! What a loss to humanity, never mind the world of music.
I remember this like yesterday!!!! i was so excited to get to see him at Waterloo, i was 14years old! I had seen and met him at a set couple months before at SouthBy and was just awestruck by what he could do, this was back when SXSW was, well what it was meant to be, no longer.... Rock on Elliot,you will forever be in our hearts...
Every single gig of Elliott Smith is an ultimate masterpiece. Thank you for sharing, Elliott's music will never die thanks to you cool guys who like it and share with us all!
Mookie Blaylock man that’s some really uncalled for bull shit. It’s TOTALLY fine to be fond of a band/musician. Allow people to like things you butthole
I was there! I saw him several time in Austin, first at Liberty Lunch with Sebadoh. At the Electric Lounge with Pete Krebs. Sadly, great Austin venues that are no longer around. Elliott's music really saved me in my twenties. RIP, dear Elliott! You are dearly missed.
Thanks for sharing, awesome setlist. And he sounds great, voice and guitar. Cool that it's a texas show too when you know how much of a problem he had with dallas. Love the absolute silence during the music, sign of respect. I didn't discover elliott until I saw The Royal Tenenbaums and went home and downloaded Needle in the Hay. Wish I would have known about him sooner so I could have caught some shows like this before things got all fucked up.
Grant Johnson What's up man! Thanks for sending this my way via E. I just caught Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield last night who did an Elliott tribute album. Very good renditions of some Elliott's songs.
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore. for me that lines all about resisting self-loathing and pushing away those that love you, break my heart that line
from Philadelphia,,, but now I live in Austin... 2015 though.. but always have loved Elliott.. he is so brave for Division Day.. for those who know what its about for him..
Elliott is so relaxed here that steven comes out :p Smaller audience perhaps? Dont know becausenither smallnones ive watches hes still been a wreck so my theory doesnt really pan out. 00:13:50 st ides I tried and i failed to play elliott guitar, get off me! Its difficult damn it, BUT this is deadly so beautiful! Makes me want to try again.
Wow, this is fantastic!! September 26, 1998, my 28th birthday and we took the train into NYC from Connecticut to bar hop in the lower east side, listening to bizarro hipster bands....I'd have much rather been here in Austin, a place I've never been, not even Texas.

I'm all ears if you would like to share your impression of him.
I was at both of those shows as well!
@@craftylibrarian75 You lucky, lucky lady!
He was so humble and inadequate. But out of this world Talented. The things he was playing and what I was hearing didn’t really register.
If he was alive and I met him I’d definitely express how much I love his music but I’d also ask him where he got those chord progressions/inspiration from..at least his influences if any to make sense of how he could write so many beautiful but completely out of the box chord progressions..he has the Beatles flare with a lot of chords/Melodie’s but I feel like he combines classical influences or something..to have progressions that sound that amazing but haven’t been played before is pretty insane to me.

these young kids will never understand how 28:17 happened
+Steven Anderson The "oh shit" when he realizes that he's recording on the wrong tape is fucking awesome..
So how many people by applause...?
I was filming my friend’s hypnotism event at our university. Hahahaha
im 20 years old n have no clue wtf happened there
Elliott: mmm....
random guy: Alameda!
Elliott: mmm....ok...
I love this dude!
17:36 - I just love how some guy told him to play a song backwards and he playfully obliged instead of rolling his eyes or ignoring him like some other performers would. He was so sweet, humble, and adorable! What a loss to humanity, never mind the world of music.
This footage is precious.
+Tar Crystalline couldn't of said it any better....

I love how Elliott Smith is not a mega superstar and yet there's plenty of footages of him of youtube. Those footages are so precious. Thank you.
I miss the 90's.
I love how he starts playing and everyone is quiet! Such an underrated musician!
What he did with Independence Day was incredible. Thanks for sharing this video.
You know it's really ironic I bought my first Elliott smith record in this store he played at and I didn't even know it at the time
Thanks for sharing, awesome setlist. And he sounds great, voice and guitar. Cool that it's a texas show too when you know how much of a problem he had with dallas.

I was there at Waterloo-you are right-everybody had great reverence for him and got quiet once he started.
Thank you so much 💗
Holy crap! I can't believe this exists. I was at this in-store and he played that night at Liberty Lunch. Amazing. Thank you.
Grant Johnson What's up man! Thanks for sending this my way via E. I just caught Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield last night who did an Elliott tribute album. Very good renditions of some Elliott's songs.
+Grant Johnson does that mean you saw elliott live twice on one day? must have been surreal
Me too! This was the first time I had heard of him and walked over to Waterloo to check this out. Glad it came out!
@@sevi1547 Most people say they had a good day and barely mean it. Grant Johnson truly had a good day.
please dont stop uploading elliott concerts!
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore.
for me that lines all about resisting self-loathing and pushing away those that love you, break my heart that line
真好听
Немного похоже на ранние битловские песни.
from Philadelphia,,, but now I live in Austin... 2015 though.. but always have loved Elliott.. he is so brave for Division Day.. for those who know what its about for him..

What an unfortunately placed bar, we don't get to see his guitar playing :(

Thank you!!
His voice is in fine form here. Perfect.
Thanks for the upload :-)
What a setlist 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for sharing!
Actual genius.

Whoever gave this a thumbs down can get punched in the face.
Alameda 26:48

Oh Well, Okay - 17:20
An underrated ES masterpiece

So how many people by applause...?
17:42
Abba "Waterloo" = hidden track
omg Alameda.... as soon as it started.... bro.. premature ejac.... u guessed it
Oh :D
absolutely ridiculous guitar player. that bottle up and explode solo...
Elliott was best with a full band. This is lame.
you've commented a few times about that, and yeah he was great with a full band, but that doesn't make this lame ?
U buggin
nah that was why i also liked his earlier work, its just pure elliott
How fucking dare you!
Eh, guess you’re just not an Elliott fan
