Elliott Smith - 14 - Ballad of Big Nothing

[flatrounds]

He's so awkward.

It gives me hope.

[kathylinn77]

If only we could wish him back...

[A2Z83]

@kathylinn77 people need to stop saying this one every dead person. Its annoying and we get it. What makes you think they would want to comeback anyway.

[kathylinn77]

@A2Z83 What makes you think he wouldn't?

[A2Z83]

@kathylinn77 what makes you think he would?

[Mordenth]

Applauding an empty chair for 50 seconds.

[nhonho23]

@Mordenth

bwahahahaha

[Equilombo]

wish I knew the chords!

[brunobliss]

man that was one minute of hard clapping at the empty chair

[nobeefbaby]

best setlist ever. If I had one wish before I died, it would to be on the front row.

[tbicklefc]

Im almost certain Elliott didnt kill himself from what ive read and heard its just another sad case of music being robbed us like Lennon,Marley,Hendrix and Elliott .imagine how many great songs they would of wrote if they were still here.

[juliekstroup]

when is this concert?  i think i was there.

[bradennn1]

My favorite thing is to watch shows where there is a fairly big sized audience (like this one) and listen to how silent they get when Elliott starts playing. It's amazing, and says a lot. RIP Elliott Smith, you'll always be known, and loved. :)

[angryhobo212]

On the "adorkable" thing. Elliott Smith reminds me a lot of Paul Dano, and I think they're both adorable in the same way. Except Elliott is a much better musician, but that goes without saying :P Oh, the things I wouldn't do to bring him back to life, Elliott was a god amongst men.

[athroughme]

man.the people love him. Listen to those applause! I'm from the west coast though. I think I like him in a different way then the east coast kids.

[gvlarchnili]

Hail to Elliot, the man who helped many and who nobody helped in return!

[SixSick6]

He stabbed himself in the HEART- that is BALLSY. I saw him play with Dido at a place called Numbers in Houston Tx once. He and Dido did a bunch of Acoustic songs and it was fucking awesome.

[pleased2freeze]

What is he saying at the very beginning?

[benmeltzer]

He asks the crowd "You want to hear old songs or new songs?"

[KiraXIV]

Haha, Elliott Smith is such a nerd. (I don't mean that in an insulting way. personally I think nerds are awesome.) His music is great, and I love this song very much.

[2write2sing2dance]

He was adorkable you mean. I got your meaning. Nothing wrong with being a nerd. The 'nerds' are the readers, artists (music, painting, philosophers) = hot ones = ones I like.

[zeliemike]

One of those drug addicted nerds? I love Elliott, calling him a nerd simplifies what he really was...

[tripsounds010rhcp]

the "big nothing" sang at the end is just great. very powerful

[blazerguy06]

i'd like a copy of the crowd screaming and elliott tuning pls

[WaMBaMkThNX]

[laxytaxi]

[bluefox92]

ooooooh i love him so much!!!!

[GiovanniBryden]

Is this on a DVD somewhere?

[alekschang]

i love how he has trouble saying "crowd". it's like he either forgot the word or had to swallow some flem

[Alexcantsee]

I have the whole show if anybody wants.

[lixi226]

yeah man i'd like to see that

[phaloola]

i would like to see it too! how?

[mookiedoi]

Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger

Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger

You can do what you want to whenever you want to

[skubz]

[archibaldspots]

Do you have the last four songs?
