[DecodeIndie15]

I can die happy after watching this....

[Vmusics]

SAM COOMES, JANET WEISS, ELLIOTT SMITH!

[heyjude97]

@Vmusics the holy trinity

[chabeworks]

now this is a good cover--not that satanic crap played by other covers

[novadrian]

Excellent cover. But then this is Elliot Smith and his band so you'd expect it to be good.

[Silentsin23]

Wow this is really good

[mspassiton]

I love Quasi!! If you like Quasi you will love this band:

Check out the music video Limbo Robot by Yellow Man

search for "limbo robot yellow"

:-D Feel good video!!!

[palmostositive]

suck on that, goths.

[neko8net]

drums is not good

[MrPitseleh]

In the song Thirteen it's referring to this song right?

[arturkenji]

such a nice bass...

[futurebutterfly444]

where did "The poison well" go

there was a great version from this show!

[mphurwitz]

loveishell7- did you also have the other song from this show where Elliott is playing lead guitar on a quasi song? I can't find it anywhere, and it's amazing.

[shinybeast78]

Holy motherfuck!!!!!!!

this is soooo good.

[MrNellonoma]

goddamn this was such a great tour.

[idntexst]

quasi is sooo good!!!

[bluebanshee3]

purrrrr..... :)

[shelley9000]

Fucking great!

[DirtyProphecyBand]

shitty cam ... public seems to appreciate it .. so do i ! nice cover

[bigmacattack05]

Are you retards really critiquing the sound thats being picked up by a piece of shit camcorder and coming out your piece of shit computer speakers.

[spasticteapot]

Some of us are running DT880s from a proper soundcard, thanks.

I think they do a good job. Very professional - not the sloppy mess you usually see on YouTube.

[ed1962]

hahahah my thoughts exactly

[990BlackOrb990]

whose actually playing the drums...? the drummer or the retard in the audience cous his beats r dead on lol

[Transmissionwould]

Janet Weiss

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

Who's she playing with these days? Still Bright Eyes?

[palendromebob]

@990BlackOrb990 Joanna Holme (quasi/steven malkmus) by the looks of it.

[thekidwiththerope]

@palendromebob That's Janet Weiss.

[Oxidized181]

@990BlackOrb990 her beats....

[rachelevil]

There is no "too loud" with Janet Weiss.

[potentialcarnie]

Yea could be the mic's or the levels on the mixers.. I'm not sure if this is house sound or what. But I agree nonetheless that its' overpowering

[isolationeitheror]

mash pit? drummere decides to K A

[PassionFriendship]

Drums.

[opemdagreat]

holy shit Janet Weiss rocks face

[plexusnexus]

fukin great drumming

[mooninites755]

haha look at the crowd, attempting to have a mash pit

[joecabot34599]

lol mash pit

[GenV]

Amazing performance. Thanks for posting it. I'm especially blown away by Janet Weiss.

[plexusnexus]

love you elliott

xo

[dopplegager]

Happy B-day Elliott. We miss you. R.I.P.

[blorg13]

I really don't like many of Elliott Smith's rock songs....a few are ok

but he's at his best by himself

which kinda seemed to sum up his life as a whole :-/

[Gammarklar]

some of Heatmiser's songs were badass. even the grungy first record... lowlife, still, bottle rocket, and the heaviest song elliott prolly ever did: stray.

[maddymud]

this ain't some geriatric note-for-note cover band -- it's punk rawk having some fun ...

[cvilay]

Dude, if you only knew what talent was on that stage you would then quit listening to your Good Charlotte CD's.

Some of the pioneers of Portland Indie rock is on that stage - have some respect.

[fivewerehigh]

You know what to expect from a gay, exclusively 7th grade battle of the bands? Have you been to one?

If they're this good, let me know when the next one is and we'll carpool.

[potentialcarnie]

No, I don't know what to expect. Please elaborate on the question YOU asked rather than spouting off rhetorical nonsense... Please tell us all how we should act and behave. You must have the answers. On with it!

[XJToshicult]

not to mention piano.

[nestorac]

XJToshicult :

try to pause the video at 1:50. You'll clearly notice four tuning pegs, or tuning pins, at the end of the guitar's arm, showing its a bass guitar.

[XJToshicult]

Is elliott playing the bass for this song?

I mean I know he plays bass, guitar, vocals, and drums, but I have bad vision and cant tell if its a bass or not lol.

[waterandsleep]

It's a Richenbacker Bass — the shape is pretty distinctive.

[demonunleashed88]

do u want the song or video? message me if u want the song. i can get it for u

[DontBAFartHead]

I wish. It's amazing isn't it?

[MasamiHirota]

Thats awesome! I love it!^^

[kingcrimson123]

GREAT cover! this band has an awesome raw sound.

[redqueen18]

she's not trying to prove anything to anyone.

she's playing because she loves it and is great at it.

sexist pig.

[DontBAFartHead]

My God are you serious? She is soooo much better than Meg White.

[basslinger]

Who is Elliott Smith?

[Playcircus]

Only one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) songwriters to ever live.

[supradude7891]

go discover him. look him up on iTunes. download all his albums and read his biography at least 3 times.

=]

[finn1beat]

janet is so fucking great!

[latin4buttercup]

[mhmm99]

pretty good.

keyboardist is awesome. great voice.

[googoogagmouth]

Oh my godD!!! elliott rocking out is so awesome!! haha he looks silly too! he looks around alot! but the performance is flawless.. it's a simple song after all, but they still did a sick version! way better than any other cover I've heard of it!

[Catnappers]

Whatever, get over yourself, you snobbist.

[desertgirl913]
