Elliott Smith Technical Difficulties

[mrtahiti80]

PERFECT!

[Brouf7]

hahahahaha @ :30

[ruukaoz]

i love the way he just says "shit..." into the mic :D

[inputmodule]

the backwards stuff was cool!

[jomosamify]

@inputmodule yeah digital delay pedals are awesome. but very expensive

[portsy101]

Thought this was going to be a Racer X cover. That'd be pretty... interesting.

[Suryavideo]

at least we know he never lip-synced, lol

[lucas3112]

I thought this was gonna be a Racer X cover lol... R.I.P Elliott

[WIIRULESMAN]

I've been to this place before, when I was a little kid. I recognize that big Y shaped sculpture in the background, and I remember walking under it. So surreal seeing it in an Elliott Smith video.

[TOGO54]

yeah....... i would love to see this dude live.....

[candymiser]

*orgasms* at 1:20. i have NO IDEA how to get that effect!!! or what pedal to use!! i've heard it's something called reverse tape delay. the beatles used it to. =[[

[NKOITH]

@candymiser

YOu can use a boss DD7

[candymiser]

sorry for the late response.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! <3 =]

[dummytree]

@candymiser  Yeah but the Beatles and other people actually played their tapes backwards to get that sound, it wasn't a pedal :) I've seen Billy Corgan use that same effect.

[nicofitz]

This song works way better live.

[NismoBdon]

he makes my world rock. RIP man.

[moz7777]

sweet solo Elliott

[slaughterxsandii]

aww elliott! <3 I wish I could have seen him live.

[Wodey25]

PLAY SOME GUNS N ROSES!

[mooninites755]

plainclothes man,

someone knows whats up

[bacardi119]

His reaction was funny.

[mark1800]

the fucking bassist/amateur backing vocalist who was with him on this tour CANNOT SING IN TUNE. argh. so frustrating.

[Disappearer88]

thats sam coomes from quasi you fucking moron. calm down.

[runnersdialzero33]

@Disappearer88 Agreed - don't diss Sam Coomes, he can sing just fine.

[mwilliams333]

how did he do that part when the guitar first starts to come back on and it sounds backwards?

[jacmas]

like hendrix on castles made of sand! i know what you're talking about!!!

[wisesatyr72]

elliot looks like john lennon's stepson

I love this song's intro, the guitar tone everything..

[tripleb88]

..............shit............­... haha classic

[getgus]

Looks good.

[potentialcarnie]

haha, axel what a joke.

my favie audience grab is, "play freebird" from another show... Elliott is in mid independence day intro and just mutters something like, 'Fucking freebird'

hahaha, elliott was truly one of a kind

[LynneDiann82]

I've seen that, if only I could remember which video. Should have favorited that one. I distinctly remember him muttering it under his breath in a way only Elliott could...

[potentialcarnie]

Haha sweet. Yea its a solo acoustic set Elliott did at the Olympia (17-7-99) and yea its independence day for sure :)

[maiden666guitar]

Why would anyone want to listen to GNR anyway...Elliott imo is better than that...

[jacmas]

you can't compare the two... TOTALLY different, cmon dude

[maiden666guitar]

Let me guess, you felt the urge to comment, and this is all you had to comment? Cause if you knew how to read you'll notice I wasn't comparing anyone to anyone else.

[jacmas]

i'm just saying that you said that Elliott Smith, an acoustic musician, is better than a full 80's rock band... no comparison dude, they're in their own fields, for example when you compare Guns 'N Roses to Motley Crue, that's a fair comparison, because they are quite similar, that's all i was saying...

[maiden666guitar]

Really, cause from the looks of this video he is not playing an acoustic. Their is actually a band playing along with him. Just cause he made mostly acoustic music doesn't make him what you are labeling him to be. I know where you are coming from, but get your facts straight first. Sorry if I came off as a dick, but "you started it"...LOL. Again Sorry.

[jacmas]

i'm talking about his solo career... he was an acoustic artist... not his heatmiser years.... or whatever his band was called... i didn't like that sound much, i LOVE his solo stuff, like roman candle, his self titled, and either/or all the way to a lot of figure 8 and new moon, since new moon is a lot of his older recordings... they're awesome

[jrmagic43]

i miss you Elliott smith much :(

[Gothick49]

Let's go. Good to go. Ready to go. sigh.

Rest in peace, sweetie.

[feinmotorikopfa]

rip elliott

love you...

[jaywoolsey]

play some guns n roses.

dick

[TaylorKingMusic]

Fuck off you wanker.

[cregitarian1]

...jaywoosley was quoting a guy in the audience, and then calling him a dick.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Oh sorry were you quoting a guy in the audience? My mistake.

[h0b0ch1c]

dick

jk ;)

[jhonfuncc]

hasta en las mejores familias pasa

[ysteinar]

that is a gibson es-330 which has p-90 pickups and is fully hollow. 335's has got humbuckers and some sort of a block and is therefore not completaly hollow. casino's are made by epiphone but it's pretty much the same thing. he wanted a casino since j. lennon and g. harrison of the beatles used them but he bought the 330 instead cause they were cheaper. he also had one in sunburst from early 60's, and this one is from the late 60's i think.

[Stilltouchinyourtitt]

And, not to sound like a complete music nerd, but the Epiphone Casino and the Gibson ES-330 have differently shaped inlays on the fretboard. You can't really see it in the video, but the 330 has rectangles, while the Casino has trapezoids.

[ysteinar]

oh yeah, I forgot :)

[pvill90]

um Gibson doesnt make casino's....only epiphone does

[bitchbutcher]

What song is this?

[rubberneck26]

Amity

[ShokyShrox]

could anyone tell me wether this is an epiphone casino or an es 335? and wher eI could find one in this color?

[alexclark123]

it appears to be gibson, guessing casino, not sure tho

[kmd843]

its a gibson 333, not really a popular guitar... it actually sounds much diff from a 335

[kmd843]

its a gibson 333, not really a popular guitar... it actually sounds much diff from a 335

[ShokyShrox]

I dont know if he played soccer but he did play american football*

[jlipp133]

this is awesome. also, one of the best bridges in any song, ever!

[dopplegager]

Happy B-day Elliot. We miss you. R.i.P.

[sk8tolive123]

The people yelling out songs are so fucking annoying...

[sub4lime]

@sk8tolive123 i know! if u dont respect the artist enough to let them play what they want, why go to the show?

[jbell92]

that would be one of my worst fears if i were a musician

[sucramnormark]

Yeah, thats the only thing that has scared me when I´ve played live. That stuff is gonna break, strings are gonna break and so forth

[lewismatthews123]

Haha I love it when he kicks that ball away

[Spox]

he used to play football (soccer) when he was young ;)

[ShokyShrox]

I dont know if e played sccer but he did playe American football.

[mooninites755]

hahahahaha

"shit"

[Vamphaery]

LOL that part made me laugh too. He's all "*looks around* *raises eyebrows*...shit..." lmao

[Vamphaery]

I love this performance. He seems really into it. I think mix ups and technical problems help loosen everyone up.

[sexymexijesse]

THats Why You Stick to Acoustic. HAhaHa

[brokenimages]

"god don't make no junk .. "

[ShokyShrox]

This is awesome. If you could possibly upload the whole show that would be awesome.

[mymayapapaya]

Yes, please? :)

[Stillillgal]

and can you please upload the full show?

[Stillillgal]

hahaha thanx very much!!!!
