Elliott Smith "In the Lost And Found" 5-19-00 New York City.

[francy150207]

He is so tender and at the same time physically addictive. I want to feel his arms wrap. In this movie looks like a boy, but then you listen to him and there is pure poetry, and it is amazing! Elliott come in my dreams!

[acousticbeats808]

wtf! elliott not playing anything?!! what a rare video

[forgetmenotaromas]

Sweet!

[stainedglasseyes1]

This is so sweet..

[HarryHayesMusic]

RIP Elliott, i fucking miss you man

[AaronCarterRocks]

I'd fist him

[goldflakedpaint]

The ever so slightly awkward hand-on-hip is really quite something.

[villasixx]

it almost seems like he needs to hide behind his instrument to preform and he isnt playing

[kman3000000]

Elliott's made a huge impact on me, his music even though at times is in ways depressing, its made me feel better. My dad always talks about seeing him live at waterloo records in austin texas. i really wish i could of been him on that day..

[darkhorsegirl]

Oh, to be "Angelina."

[guinnes842]

they really nailed this one

[pojo1017]

(ps neither do I, thanks in part to you.)

[pojo1017]

"i don't feel afraid to die". OH ELLIOTT.

[KillUnicornsx]

I really wish I got into him before he died. His music is so real.

[Truggy]

awkward butt scratch at 1:02 FTW

[PuppyKillerEcho]

I really love this clip. Thanks very much for putting it up.

[hidroensayo]

tremendous masterpiece. elliott really had an orchestra on his brain.

[YetAnthony]

"Ok time to.. shit I don't have a guitar... Where do I put my hands -.-"

[mynabird777]

Elliott's voice was so sweet.breathy,and harmonic.Nice to see him. Standing alone. The song was given so much vitality with the other vox,piano and keys.One of best musicians\ songwriters ever born. Really folks. He changed the world of music forever,myna

[TheSWAFF]

awkward without a guitar maybe, but man his singing is king here!

[BangsMacgee]

he looks like.. awkward without a guitar or piano.

wish i'd met him. :/

[genaphir]

Every time I think I love all of his songs, he surprises me with another one yet again. miss you elliott.

[JamesGrady2]

its strange to think that their are other people in the world feeling the exact same emotions as me

[JBobTC]

forgive elliott for blowing ur mind.

[sasquatchmedicine]

some people are just better with the drugs

[TheRubiksCube]

This is so great. I love this song.

I agree with the older comments that it'd be even more amazing if he could've been his own back-up singer(s).

[Amulius]

So good :)

Learned this on piano - one of my favorite songs to play

Elliott is a genius, and his songs have changed many lives, helping people to cope and relate. A sort of cynical optimism, developed in often strange yet outstanding progressions and melodies ... That's how I would describe Elliott's music in only so many words... But If a picture says a thousand words, Each individual song of Elliott's would tell 1,000,000

[cyrussink]

@Amulius well put!

[Amulius]

Thank you!

[whitestripebuzz]

What a truly brilliant songwriter.

[Alvin2K4S]

rest in peace, elliott.

[bluebanshee3]

the internet can be a very strange place in which to dwell.

[azrial4421]

God I need to stop listening to him, Ive just been getting fucked up and laying around.

[bluebanshee3]

lol. :D (not to be listened to while in severe depression either IMO.)

still and all: just love him. :) :) :)

[azrial4421]

Prolly right, but he makes my hole warm and cozy.

[stellarlove21]

I just have to ask-- what exactly do you mean by "he makes my hole warm and cozy?" Do you mean what I think you mean?

[azrial4421]

lol Im a straight guy, so my hole is metaphorical, but I dont know what you mean so maybe its both....

[crimmy0204]

best since the beatles just misssing something :(

[vegastr0n]

awkward-feeling performance in the most beautiful way.

[isolationeitheror]

good

[Villageiddyit]

This is wonderful, it's nice to see Elliot upbeat. Poor dude I wish he would've hung around a bit longer :\

[tutani]

He looks so different with that hat and singing without a guitar.

Great vocal performance anyway.

[lemonxjuice]

sweet

[mark919]

On the album ( Figure 8) track, he used the same Abbey Road studio piano that Paul McCartney had played on "Penny Lane". He must have loved that.

[AlexStevens42]

Gosh, I love this song. If only I had discovered him when he was still here

[pokefreek789]

Come back!

[Spartacuswolf]

watching this felt a bit weird...

I've always thought Elliott for his songs and guitar melodies and not as a singer...

[BeccaHonk]

Elliott smith looks so lost with out his guitar

[AlexStevens42]

haha this is my favorite comment about elliott :) i don't know why, it just made me laugh. I love Elliott Smith!!

[yourzoidberg2]

how does this get 10 thumbs up?

[angryhobo212]

If my math skills are correct it could be 5 people putting both thumbs up, 4 people putting both thumbs up and 2 people only putting one up, 3 people putting both thumbs up and 4 people only putting one up, 2 people putting both thumbs up and 6 people only putting one up, 1 person putting both thumbs up and 8 people only putting one up or 10 people putting only one thumb up.

And they are probably putting their thumbs up because this song KICKS ASS.

Zoidberg is awesome but you should fuck off.

[yourzoidberg2]

my comment wasnt about the song, i love elliott smith. it was toward someone else who got quite a few thumbs up for no reason

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

kind of appropriate for the song though don't you think? The only thing I don't like about the live Elliott Smith is that he can't do his own backup vocals.

[hectorleon87]

one elliott smith just wasn't enough right?

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

It's not that. It's just that was kind of his thing. If his backup singer were better I could probably enjoy it more though.

[hippieman128]

@BeccaHonk indeed without his guitar or piano, he really should have been playing the piano part on here.

[wendweeb]

He is soo cute!

He looks a little uncomfortable without anything in his hands but the song is brilliant and he sang it so well!

[0mayon0]

here it would be... 'I'm in love, love i'm sure'

xo

[BeccaHonk]

Elliot smith was the greatest man ever. His songs are so beautiful

[annaleestar]

I love the keys i this song. Amazing- what I would give to have been able to see him live.

[moonshinestreet]

It's nice to see Elliott on stage like that without playing an instrument but just singing. Unusual but cool.

[falcostrife]

well, yah, he is amazing

[bababarrel]

I think that Elliott Smith was on heroin during the writing and recording of Figure 8. The songs on that record, to me, sound a lot more uplifting than the material on it's predecessor: XO. Or maybe because he'd achieved a certain amount of recognition and success he could afford to use without worrying about withdrawel. Just floating on a cloud in his own brilliant universe of thought. And I suppose From A Basement On The Hill was the wretched hangover from that.

[MeestiMoore]

hahaha yeah!!

what a brilliantly beautiful soul

[c1h2e3s4t5e6r]

It takes brass balls to do this at a rock show trust me. He is/was straight up artist.

[ModestMousekateer]

Haha, Elliott looks so out of place without his guitar, trying to figure out where to place his hands. It's great. Then he takes a little break to get some attention off him (since he wasn't doing anything for a while). I miss him so...wish I could have seen him live at least once.

Thanks for this.

[PinkPopRockOutbreak]

Man i luv it

[sixxers]

what a pimp

[mymayapapaya]

LOL!

[sixxers]

Aw, hey what's up man. I <3 your videos. Just wanted to say since I you replied to me. :D

[mymayapapaya]

Aww, thanks. :)

[c1h2e3s4t5e6r]

you don't see this a too many "rock shows" --way to go elliott--you are my guitar and songwriting hero

[plexusnexus]

honky bach

XO

[mymayapapaya]

I'm pretty sure he was the cutest man in the world. Love this.

[DiceQuad]

I'd have to agree. The way he just decided to sit down in the middle of the song was priceless. And I loved that at the end of the song he was just so relieved to get his guitar back. This video is great.

I only wish that I could've discovered him when he was still alive. :/

[ModestMousekateer]

Haha yeah. And I love the hand on the hip after he gets back up. Such a terrible loss...and I also discovered him after his death, unfortunately.

[shizzle412]

is that quasi there? or just sam and elliott?

[Nangsuuh]

It's a shame I never got to see him live.

[jelx2323]

I can't believe I found this. I was at this show, the only time I got to see him unfortunately. Incredible.

[XX12music34XX]

haha I love how he just stands there and sings <3

Elliott Smith is my hero

[romancandle96]

ahhhhh

hes adorable

[M6O1BZ]

i love his little stance up on stage...and then he grabs a drink of water and sits politely until it's his time to sing again. absolutely adorable. i wish he was still here

[filmito]

always wanted to see this song live

[cwruomar]

so great!

[ilovelux]

hehehe its almost an I'm a little teap pot pose :) I looooove this song!!!!!

[homemadealliance]

oh man elliott. what a cutie pa tutie. :( i miss you. sing to me in heaven? or maybe my dreams?

[Boingoloid]

Somuchlove! Thanks for posting this up, it's truely wonderful!

[speaaksloww]

ahhh oh man elliott is amazing.

[musicalchains]

i meant screen.

kfsjdkj.

[musicalchains]

when he takes in a breath his entire body goes up-down sort of in a heave.

this could have turned out so awkward looking without his guitar, just standing there.

but its...

wonderful.

i wish i could steal him off this scream.

[drhammer]

hehe look at him with his hand on his hip. this video is so cute

[hserokdivad]

I have to admit that was extremely sexy.

[twins15]

great song.

[ipris]

superb
