@TheBrocheese Not really. It's just that almost all of the videos on Youtube AND the wikipedia page (at the time that I posted that comment- it changed now) said magnum. I'm corrected now. No need to be rude.
@TheBrocheese It is true. Also, one of the very first things I read about him was an interview where they called him Magnum and even made a really bad joke about how Oh Comely was his Magnum Opus (haha, get it?)
@ZoeSquared21 Dude, stop lying. No videos were titled "magnum" and the wikipedia page would not have said "magnum" considering how long he's been known to the general public. You always thought it was magnum but you were always wrong, just admit it. I can tell you're a chronic lier, but even on Youtube man??
Great cover. I just bought this C.D. at Chicago's Pitchfork Festival yesterday. Easily the best solo performance from anyone. I wish that this wasn't the end for NMH's/ Jeff Mangum's music career.
The version on 'How it all caved in' i.e. a torrent of the final gig in New Zealand is so much better. The way his voice falters at the beginning is amazing. Jeff = joy...
im a young 15 year old musician looking to be heard, and i would really appreciate it if you go to my channel and listen and comment on my music , thank you.
Sometimes I get so sad, that I'd like to believe that love doesn't really exist like everyone says it does. But I know better. Everywhere I look, I can see proof of love. If nothing else were to exist, I'd like love to be that one thing that exists. In terms of music, this is one of the greatest songs that show such feelings of love. Especially it's sung by such a moving singer as Jeff Mangum. That Astra Taylor is one lucky woman.
I hold the opinion that, but when Phil Spector gets his share of justice, it will be recognized as his appropriate share of vengeance-- and, always, vengeance is uniquely individualized
I just heard "ANd so this is Christmas (War is Over)" and almost sang this song right in its place - I'm surprised Phil Spector never sued John for totally stealing this
I was just reading Albert Goldman's "Lennon Remembers" and Spector even knew he was ripping him off...Lennon responded by saying he was stealing from the best, so it was ok" Spector is obviously a sick f*ck, but at least he had some loyalty in terms of not taking Lennon to court.
With that logic I suppose all 12-bar songs should be disregarded then, right? Basically the entire spectrum of blues? Most of early rock and roll? Good music has nothing to do with complexity, it's about the soul.
woah woah woah. I was replying to the person who said this song was a rip off of War is Over by John Lennon. I wasn't criticizing the song and certainly not this amazing performance.
You can get this video if you just buy the CD. It's enhanced. I just bought it yesterday. It's sweet. Just look up "Jeff Magnum - Live at Jittery Joe's" on Amazon or it might be at your local record store. That's where I got mine. The guy that recorded this was a filmmaker named Lance Bangs.
