Internet not always bad

[@kpdelaney6460]

Buck's got such a cool way of playing acoustic. So precise and unique. I love it!

[@ericbmusic]

absolute one of a kind. they both are

[@genesisescobar1001]

I’d give my kidney to get to see this session live six years ago

[@owenprice4072]

An extraordinary talent. I rate her alongside Elliott Smith.

[@TheGman858]

Totally agree they both share the same fragile, very personal and relatable quality to their songwriting

[@GeorgeCilley]

Just at the end of song one and was thinking of Elliott the whole time.

[@whatflavor5632]

Money reminds me of an elliott smith song

[@tsopuaifa]

Good rating. She is somewhat wider in her compositions I would say and hopefully not that destructive. But they are very alike in their poetry for sure and share the nerve... I'd say but that is only my humble opinion.

[@treebendsinthewind]

Beautiful Compliment, I'm going to let you finish your comment, but Elliott Smith wrote the best albums of all time. Of all time. It's like Na B

[@levraigabriel]

fuck i've been living almost ten years of musicians life without actually knowing that music could be played this way love you both Adrianne and Buck

[@wallacecarvalho5032]

I barely slept last night. I got home from work and spotify's random suggestions presented me "Paul". Now I've been listening to everything available from Big Thief and Adrianne and I just can't stop. It's unbelievable. Someone here said that would rate her alongside Eliott Smith... I don't know, may be the excitement of having found such good music in an unexpected way, but I would rate her a little above Eliott. Haven't found an Adrianne song that I don't like yet.

[@aleclynch7356]

Curious on your thoughts a year later? I would agree that with her combined solo and Big Thief works she’s surpassed him

[@captainsaitama8047]

@@aleclynch7356also curious. I think she’s up for the best songwriter of all time. If you break down any one of her songs the vast amount of substance, crevices and folds could fill a sea in so many ways too. Her lyricism but also her way she communicates her life through her “sound” Listing to different albums you can hear who she was then when she wrote it, and those sounds are like treasures, unable to be heard anywhere else And i happen to love who she is. Thats her sound, You won’t get that anywhere else

[@m1kel702]

Buck meek is underrated

[@ericbmusic]

not by anyone who knows what's up ;) the kid is brilliant.

[@private6523]

@@ericbmusic I dont rate buck at all, he was just riding on Lenkers talent and songs. His solos were always shit. i wish he would just shut up and let her shine

[@deadwith0utmusic]

@@private6523 his solos are fantastic your opinion is trash

[@private6523]

@@deadwith0utmusic Subjectivity is a bitch, isnt it! Still, he always sounds lost, not edgy, and I wish to heck he would stop singing along. THe fact you wont allow anyone else their opinion that is real triggered cry baby trash,

[@dylanward2599]

@@private6523 you’re entitled to your own opinion yes but the way you went about it is pretty shit hahaha. Bucks two saviours album is great, sure you’ll come to your senses soon enough

[@cernoso]

Being a relatively recent Big Thief fan, I have to admit it's such fun to dive deep into the rabbit hole.

[@JohnMcQueen]

This version of Jonathan gives me the goosebumps every time.

[@humphreyfilm]

so good

[@manicmidnighvisual]

Wanted to like this comment but it has 69 likes so….😂 but so true such a good version of Jonathan

[@dickeymckay8289]

Adrienne and Buck are the best in the biz in this present moment imo.

[@extraterrestrialbeats3590]

16:40 the switch is just lovely.

[@LonoStar]

Please never take this down. I feel like, for many of us, it brings home and sanity. Cheers. My heart thinks you.

[@dogsareboss]

Hey, Universe, thanks a lot for Adrianne and Big Thief. You did good! X

[@nd96_]

You done good Mrs. Lenker

[@outonemorning470]

So glad to find this...what a wonderful topper to a season in life where discovering amazing talent is like finding a soul mate.

[@Xelif]

"you're standing at the end of a story at the foot of a palindrome" hit me like a truck

[@ericbmusic]

she has SO many great lines. Kills me.

[@Sprtschk]

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[@Xelif]

@@Sprtschk I always imagined it as cyclical patterns in your life. A chapter closes for sone reason or another, and as you move on to the next, you know it's going to be defined by the same problems and traits that shaped the last one. However, bc it's a palindrome it could be that as one thing ends, this gives you the opportunity to undo those behaviour patterns moving forward into the next phase

[@leahcliffe3730]

@@XelifI love this analogy

[@djork6518]

she is such a beast on guitar. kerina is mesmerising to watch

[@TheGoldenRepair]

I can hardly beat to listen to Johnathan because it's so beautiful but far too short. It needs another couple of verses.

[@Jicama626]

The Golden Repair I know what you mean, it’s just so tender.

[@hidingplaces3150]

the sheer amount of times i have listened to this

[@ableroo]

Oh my god. Paul and Indiana are transcendental

[@adamsdan1]

I was there! Thanks Eric, this is fantastic. Adrianne has a greater sense of composition than any other songwriter, bar none. I am consistently blown away by her.

[@cougarman8]

Dan Adams agreed! She's a gem, best singer songwriter today

[@lisacolbert5987]

@@cougarman8 I don’t usually comment in superlatives about music artists , but agree - agree. And the last 6 years has continued to show it to be true. Hella prolific too.

[@lisacolbert5987]

Well, *this* is a treasure, isn’t it ? Thank you so much, Eric !

[@algaeben]

kerina is such a beautiful song

[@bradzukerman9141]

It’s one of the most incredible guitar duets I’ve ever heard

[@mckenziestrib9187]

I've watched this video multiple times this week since discovering it. I'm so glad it exists. So much of what Adrianne writes touches me deeply.

[@renatofr88]

Damn it, I can't like this video more than once.

[@hannahschliep6368]

What I would do to go back to this show!!

[@connormaurer3609]

This is the best version of Miss Misty I have found on yt

[@hidingplaces3150]

i keep coming back to this

[@jare___]

I’m from the Portland area, and stuff like this makes me miss it so much

[@terrybeaud9348]

Soooo FREAKIN' awesome !! The future of music is intact. :)) All is not lost !! Adrianne is my new fav artist, I listen to her all the time. :))

[@ectoplasma5]

Me too ! I always listen to her when i am in the countryside,i get a bittersweet painful melancholic feeling,i love it.

[@SuperEngel69]

If Lenker was around in the 60s 70s she would of been massive.

Hey she keeps mentioning she is opening for Eric. Does anyone know who that is? On another note good god this set is beautiful!

I don't really know, but I'd guess it's the publisher of this youtube channel.

It's me / this is my channel. plus in the description there's more info.

Thanks for recording this. I've enjoyed it on multiple replays recently.

So what was the setting here? Did they support another band and everyone was just blown away by a duo they didnt know? Or were they already well known at this point?
