Bright Eyes "Waste of Paint" live in Seattle

[J0000OOOO]

The first verse sums me up so well...

[thepurplebottIe]

@samskipti

you say you have recording from the ny show from this tour?

you really should upload it somewhere on the computer so people can either see it or download it, id really love to see it!

[maariaa1995]

The last verse is the best part. Oh my. I've lost the count for how many times I've replayed it now.

[redparade]

Okay after listening to it again I am still in my memories. So many! I miss '98 - '02(ish)! Such a special time.

[redparade]

Oh man! Blast from the past! I remember those days so well...before tweets and youtube and pretty much most of the internet. And the old skool version of the Saddle Creek website :) This made the rounds on a burned CD, one of many shows that people would trade for. I haven't heard this in nearly a decade but I recognize every breath, every pause. Cool to see it on film. Thanks for taking me back!

[ChrisMarie93]

Aw. God.... This.... LIVE IS BEST. AHH. The recording didn't do it justice... God..

[CoyoteDeGrey]

I don't relate Conor to Beck or anyone else. Conor is just Conor. But if anyone I'd compare him with Dylan.

[BluffasourisRex]

now thats how your sposta feel the songwhen your playin it! he jammed it out!

[MartsMovement]

music that is so much more then just music

pure art <3

[usaholes182]

I don't see how he can play this song without breaking down in the middle of it. He probably has to totally detach himself from it emotionally.

[Diablo112687]

@usaholes182 No way... this is not detached...

[crobyn]

modern day Beck...

[crobyn]

modern day Beck!!! truly one of the greatest song writers of our time...

[samskipti]

this was taped in 2001 right?! i have a tape from the acoustic NY shows I went to in August '01 (i think it was the one he refers to in the video) & this video totally brought me back to that night. thanks for uploading these & tfor he trip down memory lane. it was conor at his very, very best.

[khunopie]

@samskipti not sure. could have been.

[iamgreenshoes]

Thanks for uploading this! I was there :D

[joementum5]

she was free

[RUSKOFAN88]

whoever you are who uploaded these. thankyou :)

[zoethefaerie]

nice quality, great song.

[grego16]

he said "son of a banker" in this one. He sometimes says "brother of a folk singer"

x

[erikanewman]

He says son of a banker on the itunes download of the song... great song though... wonder if its about his brother.. if he has one

[LukeReindl]

Maybe because his dad, Matt is a banker, and his brother, Matt, is in Sorry About Dresden?

[Baxxter101]

@LukeReindl who cares where true artists originate? Many of the 'great' artists were born into a life of unusual privilege. Background has little or nothing to do with wisdom, insight, or expression... For Christ's sake the Buddha was a prince and he discovered and articulated one of the most fundamental truths ever uttered... This young man follows in this tradition.

[Masterofquarters]

@grego16 i have never heard the " brother of a folk singer" one. send me a link.

[sunhoney1]

what year is this?

how does this only have 18,000 views?

gifted. 5* post.

[XiXheartXretardsX]

sweet jesus he looks so young

[CaseyCatastrophe2323]

I love him dearly. You're so lucky to have seen him live.

[johnmorisi8]

the best.

[gaymeledeush]

AMAZING!!!

[PrettyMaryK9]

My favorite Bright Eyes song :DDD

[bee989]

that was so good i forgot i wasn't there. amazing song, amazing quality footage.

[dm8ns]

Truly one of the best song writers of our generation.

[DankeRainer]

this footage is really good quality. nice

[lipswhisperedliesx]

i swear, if i was blessed with seeing this song live, i could live the rest of my life happily.

[urchinau]

Do I really hear so much chatter from the audience?

[chrickeconor]

MY GOD! have this 8-track consert on my iPod, but just the music. but when I see him.. I´m out of words. it never gets better than this, that´s for sure. it´s insane that he can express himself like this. someone out there who does not LOVE this? go see a doctor.. thanks "limpty" for filming this.

[saviorxxself]

you're right. its unbelievable how much emotion he can put into it. that's why I love him so much.

[nostrand41]

wow! where did you download the concert from?

[chrickeconor]

A friend sent it to me, I have 17 live conserts if you´re interested I can send some to you.. give me your e-mail. my point with this is that I really think that every bright eyes fan deserves to hear it.. have a nice day!

[BrianViper1]

amazing post thanks for it

[loveloveme93]

his voice is amazing! <333

[dylanyoung22]

wow that was masterful. that man can write some music, and then write some words for it. and he really feels what he says. that was incredible

[johnmorisi8]

[SpinyNorman0]

[DeathAwaitsYouAll]
