[@gaylothropmissinformed1046]

Damn, he actually played Going to Georgia back then.

[@MsCocohaha]

That utterly bizarre version of Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton is probably my favorite.

[@alexlaporte2755]

Love the slow Palmcorder Yajna like... 2 years before WSABH released, very cool.

[@mitchkraan8736]

FIrst few bars I briefly thought it was going to be Tetrapod

[@jimmysmite7388]

Comments on Mountain Goats videos restore my faith in humanity.

[@jacobalarcon5171]

I'm getting goosebumps watching these songs come to life. I would give anything to see John in those early years and this is pretty close. Thank you so very much!

[@mogwaifeartexas]

Jacob Alarcon No problem, that was my goal... I wanted to provide an experience as close to actually being there as possible.

[@wholewurld]

+mogwaifeartexas You certainly did. First time I saw them was in about 2003 I think, at Walters on Washington in Houston. This is a gem of a video

[@halfwrittentale]

I can't love this enough. Source Decay is my absolute favourite mountain goats song and this is a really nice version & recording.

[@Alistair_Spence]

I've watched a lot of Mountain Goats videos on KZbin over the years. This one would have to be in the top three for me for sure, it might even be my favorite. Thanks for uploading.

[@knowjop]

See America Right at 40:50 is off the hook

[@gleefulincent3115]

I've been looking everywhere for source decay live, thanks for the upload.

[@Yoshimitsu4prez]

Fuck man this might actually be the best mountain goats boot

[@inreversal9409]

That cymbal placement.

[@SpencerArinhaveamom]

No joke shadow song makes me ball my eyes out every time

[@guiramos3733]

Me too my friend, such a powerful, sweet song

[@emptRx]

John just played palmcorder yajna in portland.... I cried

[@androidalmanac4641]

A clear version of going to Alaska!!! Watched it 27 times so far

[@aliencorporation2001]

I keep coming back to Mountain Goats whenever I need to ground myself, so happy to find this video :)

[@bobscomic1]

Thanks for uploading this. I love when I stumble across things that make me delay what I thought I was going to do by an hour because I had to watch it. You rule!

[@joshpearson1870]

I went to that Ames show, and I did buy a copy of that album

[@fountainsowayne]

i like the audience member trying to do the harmonies on neon orange glimmer song :)

[@TommyBaysMusic]

i wish alpha omega was always played in the style it is here.

[@mikogale]

probably one of the only times i've seen him use a pick :o

[@emmasnyder9718]

I wasn't even born when he played this.

[@IElrekkaI]

this version of tollund man is amazing

[@lizartpix]

Amazing recording! What a great set!!

[@StevenRoby]

Your cousin, John, is an expert on the Mountain Goats, and I think he personally knows them.

[@travisr3528]

[@MadameKasumi]

… did he say Chris in best ever death metal band??

[@philardo]

Jeff got cancelled

[@TommyBaysMusic]

Awesome show all the way through. This is my favorite version of alpha omega that I've found.

[@gaylothropmissinformed1046]

That song is legitmately lyrically horrifying

[@gaylothropmissinformed1046]

Sorry, was thinking of Alpha Insepiens

[@troopykid]

what a great recording. i've listened to it often over the past year. going to georgia is probably my favorite part :)

[@d1e1c0k2]

That performance of Palmcorder Yajna, huh

[@sarahhorn3326]

i'm so grateful for this, thank you

[@mogwaifeartexas]

Sarah Horn Glad you like it!

[@southmauldin7809]

***** Thank you very much for this - what a great show with old stuff. I saw them (him) early in their (his) career, and haven't seen them in years, but the next time they are within 300 miles of SC, I'm gonna be there.

[@zopilote_4000]

thank you so much for posting this :')

[@mogwaifeartexas]

Yeah, sorry... didn't think it'd go viral since there are no lolcat memes in it or anything

[@moskita]

Pure gold.

[@jekyll7115]

Nothing but gold.

[@TheWingus]

No, the song is called Jenny. Pure Gold was on Ghana and Songs About Fire

[@jekyll7115]

There's more than Jenny here... and I was actually referencing Tahitian Ambrosia Maker, which is on Sweden. Pure gold is what this recording happens to be.

[@freakofnatureIO]

Thank you so much for uploading this! Is it at all possible for you to upload the video somewhere for us to download? I really would love to have an HQ mp3 of this.

[@mogwaifeartexas]

freakofnatureIO Just drop me a line if you want the high-res version

[@cmonkee9]

I realize I'm responding to a year-old comment, but can't hurt to ask: Any chance of still getting a copy of the high-res version? This is pretty much my favorite thing on KZbin.

[@joseppi1121]

this show happened two weeks after I was born!

[@hella_lugosi]

Can we get more Peter please?

[@emptRx]

Na. More john
