Just reading 'Things the Grandchildren Should Know' (highly recommended). E says they were not allowed to play Mr E's Beautiful Blues cos of the 'Goddamn right' lyric. So they did this instead, but E, in tribute to the Doors & the Stones, who were also forced to censor their own songs, sings - 'girl, we can't get much HIGHER! Read the book.
Okay, "Flyswatter" has always been one of my least favorite tracks on DAISIES OF THE GALAXY, but I have to admit that this performance is profoundly badass.
hahahaha..Man E was on a roll...

"I am the real slim shady."
I remember listening to the Eels in Junior High and downloading this video back then. Song still holds up, great band.

Yes, and seeing this performance was a letdown after watching Smoosh: watch?v=AVAy1VeU_wo&NR=1
He can play that telephone and screw that keyboard every way he wants, but it's never going to make up for all that disharmonious racket.

Awesome! Thanks for posting this! I remember watching it years ago and always wondered if I'd get to see it again.
