"The Jon Brion Show" 1/5

Playlist: • "The Jon Brion Show" 1/5
This is the whole unaired 1999 VH-1 pilot with guests such as Elliott Smith, Rickie Lee Jones and Grant Lee Philips - Nothing less than remarkable.
I had to split it in five parts in an attempt to fool my extremely slow upload bandwith.
There are already a few clips of some of these performances uploaded by kind youtubers and I did not mean to reupload them, just wanted to share the whole thing.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Part 1:
- Intro Sketch
- Jon and Butch from The Eels - "Walking Through Walls"
- Several song excerpts (including Aqualung and Say Yes) and another sketch
- Intro Grant-Lee Phillips - "Mockingbirds"
- Sketch
Part I - • "The Jon Brion Show" 1/5
Part II - • "The Jon Brion Show" 2/5
Part III - • "The Jon Brion Show" 3/5
Part IV - • "The Jon Brion Show" 4/5
Part V - • "The Jon Brion Show" 5/5

The fact that this show wasn't picked up is criminal. What does VH1 have now? Mob Wives? Basketball Wives? Fuck everything.

Damn right man!!

Saw Jon live in 93' at The Roxy with Aimee Mann. He was throwing down on an ESP Strat through a Matchless and I was decimated. They did a cool version of The Korgis and he was doing these weird jazz inversions that sent me back to the drawing board. In fact, everything he did and the way he did it was just mind boggling.

gymnopedies is one of my favourite songs, and hearing that snippet of it got me all warm inside yo

[@BuffPuffer]

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

Ah if only it were as fun for the viewers as it was for them

[@Tumtumtumenator]

@iagobroxado It is called Gymnopédie #1 by Erik Satie.

[@IanKrane]

Jon Brion is incredible, of course. Something has been driving me nuts, though, and I'm hoping someone can help me- what is that mystery song he plays during the 90s medley? It's probably something obvious, but I'm not up to 90s music too well. I recognize Nirvana, Beck, and Semisonic, just can't figure out the other tune.

[@codycampbellmusic]

even flow, pearl jam

[@Tumtumtumenator]

@IanKrane Not sure, but it sounds a lot like Even Flow by Pearl Jam.

[@lichtfilme]

what is this instrument he plays at 9:00, when he does "the 90s" !?

[@Snapdragontank]

wait did he make the nirvana lullaby renditions?

[@Derrekful]

sigmund and the sea monsters

[@iagobroxado]

Hey people, what's the composition Jon plays from 8:30-8:55? Thanks!
