Directed by Nick Maher

[@TheErikrust]

Such a talent. Impossible to replicate. Miss you Jay.

[@albendea1641]

The outro of Oh It's Such A Shame here is awesome

[@brainglow_lightbright]

For real

[@onlyboundaries]

Check out the live at golden plains version

[@cancelcouple380]

One of the best to ever pick up the guitar!!!

[@guitartedphil1335]

I wish the outro would go on forever

[@Mad_Cattle_Records]

❤❤ tragic and beautiful

[@CaptainPancakes]

I discovered Jay probably like 4 months before he died. It was a huge shock. As someone who grew up in the 90s though I got used to having my favorite musicians suddenly die (Cobain, Nowell, etc.)

[@ghalirock3053]

This should have MILLIONS of views. RIP JAY

[@spedracer4U]

All things in time.

[@SickAunt]

I caught him at the Gaelic club Sydney show during this tour. I’m glad I did, but it wasn’t a comfortable watch. He seemed uneasy and agitated. I wish him peace.

[@seanmcdevitt956]

Had been a fan a year or so. Then saw him/the band in Dublin in Dec' 09 a few months before the end. I thought I was seeing the start of something. Gig was great but weirdly subdued, midday/early day of the week, Whelans in Dublin

[@madzen112]

Saw him on his last tour as well, had the same feeling. His earlier shows were something completely different.

[@DylanJ138]

Amazing upload! Never get tired of seeing Live Jay footage! ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY!!!

[@hautehead]

Aw Hell yeah.

[@pb6274]

I might just watch this daily. God bless MTV for once.

[@jasonperry5789]

I would like 1,000 times if I could

[@daysofgrandeur]

🙌🙌 Praise the Lord for her 3 for 1 offer 🙌🙌

[@uncooldispatch5438]

?

[@mikehblack]

Amazing footage, thank you

[@fokyoushima4343]

Ya!

[@butchcassidy2500]

Special version of "Trapped Here". Blown out shoe gaze gonzo fest...as good as any My Bloody Valentine or Ride single but Jay played with more heart.

[@sn1000k]

it has nothing to do with shoegazi

[@skeets2409]

dude didnt even need a rhythm. man was a machine.

[@duncecap65]

I liked when he was more B.Idol/Generation X than TV Smith

[@isaacsandoval7249]

Fuckin wow

[@PineappleStickers]

What happens to Stephen's mouth during the second song. Theres black liquid everywhere

[@collinjasper5127]

Jaben Betz blood

[@andresanugraha]

It's brownie, I think. You could see they're munching something.

[@telequacker-9529]

little victor couldn't relax

[@stewdoon3415]

i dont know, kinda looks like his hair but the filter makes it look like liquid

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

@@andresanugraha whose they

[@ezee4687]

Why is yr mouth painted black, steve? Bc people leave and they're never coming back

[@canislupus2146]

Better than Syd Barrett, Love you

[@hautehead]

BWAHAHAHA. Nope.

[@RadioactiveHipsters]

maybe just your opinion, his expression goes far beyond anything syd did. I would much rather listen to any of jays records than pink floyd@@hautehead

[@PMurray2694]

​@hautehead using modern homo internet laughter while using old washed up kook "it's older so it's automatically better" logic. You are the scum of the earth

[@asd-foot-lettuce94]

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but I think if Evan Peters put on a few pounds and grew out his hair/put on a wig or whatever, he’d be a great pick to play Jay in a biopic if ever a thing was created. Also, Stephen Pope🥵

[@glenmchargue5461]

Hell yeah. Evan Peters is really great. Looking forward to anything else he does.

[@NateB1976]

The end is like a whale song. Which is only fitting fitting since Jay would die shortly after.

[@brr8275]

Stephen, what is that all over your face please clean yourself up!
