There is an electric demo version he recorded during the Roman Candle era. As with so many things relating to the handling of Elliotts music post death, I have no idea why the powers that be haven’t released it.

He reminds me of kurt cobain where he let you think he was messy looking to hide he was actually cute lol

Anyone know the guitar both Elliott and Jon were playing??

Every time I listen to Elliott Smith, I want to be a better person afterwards. I hope that in his short life he enjoyed knowing that he had that effect on people sometimes.

He’s beautiful, I mean that in the most hetero way possible. Ahhh fuck

Jon, have you ever heard of a Technics KN6500 work station? I have been using it for years and when I remember what you were doing in jr. high, this workstation would have helped you with all your organization of musical creations. You would realy get a lot out of this workstation. Mr Fortino Whalen jr.high

Jon you are something else. In a good way. I find you a very interesting person and so creative.I saw this while you were in jr high school and I am not surprised at all you have accomplished so far. Wish I could have helped more. Fortino

Apparently filmed by Mary Lou Lord at the Horseshoe Tavern, Ontario, 1995. If this was from their first tour they were in Vancouver 2nd March 1995, Seattle on the 3rd, Portland 4th, San Fran 6th, Los Angeles 7th. I suspect this is from 1st March 1995 or before. They were also in Olympia, WA playing shows on 8th Feb and 12th Feb. He also played Alphabet Town at this show, but the video was uploaded by someone else.

Elliott Smith is a kindred soul to me. Like Matt Kearney, we both had a creative literary indeed musical peak in Portland, Oregon during the same period. Unlike Kearney, I was not aware of Elliott in the same city; he was underground. But when I heard Miss Misery later, after Elliott supposedly died not sure about this, I was instantly soul-touched and started a process of cultural connection, B-sides research, and artistic promotion that was to last years.

Anyone know what guitar he’s using? That tone is so nasty

I was at this show and when I heard the start of 'Needle In The Hay' at that tempo I knew I was in for a treat. Gone too soon... "Would you say the one of your dreams Got in you and ripped out the seems..."

i love you so much elliott.

Thanks for sharing. I love you elliott smitt.

Woah one of the youngest clips I've seen of him. Looks like it was before he got heavy on the heroin.

SO GOOD!!!

So incredible. Absolutely love the melody

magic

loovelovwloveLoveeeeee

Shed a tear or two or three or four😊🥲

just so wonderfully good

He pee’d yellow. He jus like me fr </3

He was so talented it's unreal.

thank u elliott :)

Great, Great, Great Elliott's music and voice! I miss and I love him so much... Luckyly I can find exellent live records.. thank you so much for posting!

They act like Canadians with out the accent

I smell bacon ! Canadian ???

I wish he did more of the hard rockin shit.

…..

incredible performance

i loved his blonde buzz cut

Had no idea Eminem could play like that

Slim Smitty

live version of needle in the hay is wonderful

Why did he play his songs so differently? This wasn't supposed to be fast paced rock music. Was this corporate pressure forcing him to turn his songs into something people could bop around to? This sounds more like a cover band than Elliot himself. If someone else was playing his music like this I'd hate it.

<3

The bit at the end. I’m 💀

Impossible don't compare him to Nick Cave

Does anyone know when/where this recording is from?

this song gets stuck in my head for days

These are some of the best songs ever written.

Why are there no clear, pristine soundboard recordings of Elliott? Did no one on the road crew or in the engineering booth EVER think, “Hey, it might be great to have a listenable copy of this, just to listen to myself someday?” WTF!

i wish he was still alive 😢

hi, who can name his co-musicians, please ?

il sera en France en Avril 2023 -- super news

The more I listen, the more amazing this is!

The film score of STONE is my favourite ong 2022x

Amazing Performance! Powerful lyrics, stunning instrumentation, WOW
