[RUSKOFAN88]

im pretty sure those are my chubby hands clapping at the end. loved this gig

[bigseanmacca1]

Partyboy reckons the title of this song adequately sums up his day to day state of mind and explains his painkiller addiction.

[yawnslayer]

Oberst was also profoundly influenced by the work of Elliott Smith, saying in an October 22, 2003 All Things Considered interview that "sometimes when you're not feeling good, you have to listen to really sad music like Elliott Smith's" and that [Smith] "wrote the sweetest, saddest, most gentle songs".

[championofidiots]

great great

[TheMatthew314]

try simon joyner. and me.

[poisonrainbows]

i would do so many dirty things to conor oberst. he is the definition of sexy.

[misterreko]

what are these dirty things youre talking about? please do tell. ha

[NaomiLovesDifferent]

people ike you scary me.

[NaomiLovesDifferent]

*like*

[misterreko]

what are you talking about? it obviously was a joke.

[lacieburning]

he's so real, I love him

[ninjakz2]

i love him live! its just like listening to a cd. unlike lots of artists...he actually has talent beyond the recording studio. his lyrics are amazing also.

[littletriptoheaven]

nooo.. its not like a cd at all

10 times better

[Johnsoniscoolandya]

check out elliott smith, he reminds me of connor, so much.

[needleinthehay331]

Elliott Smith influenced Conor alot. I know I'm probably going to start a long unintelligible youtube argument by saying this, but I think Elliott has more heart in his pinky than Conor has in his whole body.

[thewayyoudance]

I laughed at the negative ratings you got for this. I actually agree...and I'm both a huge Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith fan.

[diedahero]

Both are great song writers, but Conor has been doing this from the age of 12. Hard to say Elliott influenced him when tec. he start recording music before him.

I'm not saying he hasn't heard like, "Roman Canndle" (1994) and wasn't like, "Wow, what a great album." Just saying "influenced" isn't the best word.

[CompleteRandomly]

well you can be influenced by things after you've started writing music, too

[ModestMousekateer]

woah, long hair.

[foshizzlekun]

He always writes songs with emotion and passion, not like all the other artists nowadays..

[mardybumrocky]

haha omg i was at this! it was ok, but i was upset he didnt play anything old like he didnt do anything pre-im wide awake... i misss old conor :)

[dancallahanbostonman]

u like the monkeys?

[whereartestaban]

Well this song was recorded long before I'm Wide Awake....

[mardybumrocky]

fuck you cockhead

[whereartestaban]

That was necessary.

[MuderousToaster]

._. Wow. Some people are just so intelligent.

:3

[mardybumrocky]

yo mamma is just so intelligent

[yoletsee]

this is my favorite song from conor

[devarkk]

great song, reminds me of mazzy star for some reason, must be the guitar =)

[sk8tolive123]

This song is so beautiful...

[Electron244]

I was there!! On my birthday seeing my hero. Best gig since We Are Scientists I think *nodage*.

[DonJim2705]

this gig was one of the most amazing experiences of my life...i was the twat that shouted 'with just our flashlights and our love' during at the bottom of everything hehe

[RUSKOFAN88]

lol thats the back of my head RIGHT there. excellent gigh. who posted this???

[clapyourhandss]

i did!

[wil6817]

I was there, twas the ultimate gig, couldn't get much better and touching him was a bonus!

[clapyourhandss]

I think they have that many songs that nobody will ever be completely pleased with the songs they play as everybody has their own favourites! I was hoping for a bit more from I'm Wide Awake and I was pretty gutted they didn't do my favourite from Cassadaga (Classic Cars)! But it was still the most amazing thing on this earth. They did brilliantly. :)

[KRELLSWORTH]

i know its just my preference and all but im dying for him to play haligh haligh a lie haligh live i would kill for that(also i think the support band let it down a bit) i saw them in leeds about 2 years ago and rilo kiley(i highly reccomend a little bit like the folky side of bright eyes) were supporting and they almost rivalled bright eyes for talent it was the best ever

[KRELLSWORTH]

yeah sharp but to be truthful as much as i like all of his music bar maybe 2 tracks out of his 100+ collection of songs i really wanted him to play a couple more songs from fevers and mirrors ,as cassadaga is probably my second least favourite album(which obviously he was going to play as it was newer stuff) dont get me wrong i still enjoyed it i just wish i could have chosen the songs

[KRELLSWORTH]

I liked it but i was a bit disapointed with the choice of songs he chose even so i tingled inside when "i believe in symetry came on"

[sharps5]

are you joking, the songs were amazing!!!! calendar, symmetry, southern state, first day, wont ever be happy, gold mine gutted!!!!!! and a shit load of cassadaga

[sixfoottallrabbit]

Whooo what a great gig this was! Loved it. The ultimate experience. =] I was over on the left somewhere.
