Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis - Going For the Gold

[LalitaShaktas]

i've seen bright eyes 6 times and the Austin City Limits (ACL) show (the one they did for the TV program on PBS) was the best of all five (all five were great). It obviously has special meaning for me but I actually saw them twice before this with my dad. :) My dad is awesome haha. :) anyway thanks for this and did someone say you can get the entire concert through pirate bay? i will check that out :) p.s. Check out "Monsters of Folk," Conor and Mike of Bright Eyes, Jim James and M. Ward's band

@LalitaShaktas Nice :D I know Monsters of Folk - I saw then live about a year ago, I think :)

[LalitaShaktas]

I was there. Austin is my city. 2004, I was 13, had my first boyfriend, this was our 1st date. Indescribable. Austin City Limits is a good show, they let Bright Eyes feel at home, the workers do well. Bright Eyes is beyond words- almost magical. We went to what's called "tune-up" the day before at the studio and got to meet Conor, Mike and Jim James (Jim wasn't in this song he was in others-the 3 are now in "Monsters of Folk"). All were very sweet to us star-struck kids. Thanks for this so much

@LalitaShaktas OMG, that's incredible :D

[mancheromanchero]

mike mogis is the back-bone of bright eyes

[LalitaShaktas]

@mancheromanchero yes he is really really really talented and good, he doesn't get half the credit he deserves. don't get me wrong i LOVE Conor- im absolutely certain conor wishes mike got more credit too, i got to meet conor, mike, and jim james day before this concert in 2004, all were really nice. mike and conor have been great friends for about 14 years, and are now in "Monsters of Folk" along with Jim James with whom they've been friends for I think 11 years and also with M. Ward. All good.

hmmmmmmm he is a brilliant song writer.

[ninjakz2]

I would like to know how he doesn't just start crying during his performances? I get tears streaming the first couple seconds of just listening. He needs to realize how amazing his music really is.

[klarolivia]

@ninjakz2 Yeah, you're right!

[hotgluefingerboard11]

@ninjakz2 a musician is never aware of their good or bad they actually are. In fact, if Conor is anything like me, then he's a perfectionist who is never happen with his work

[BrightEyesAtheist]

WHY THE FUCK COULDN'T I OF BEEN THERE?!

[klarolivia]

@BrightEyesAtheist Me too!

[klarolivia]

I, off course, downloaded them somewhere, but I really can't remember where... I'm sorry... Hope you find them.

[midnight260]

omg, do you have any idea as to wear to get the rest of the videos...

[shelbithefro]

you can find it on the pirate bay.

[jbentz1966]

It was this performance on Austin City Limits that got me hooked on Bright Eyes.

This song always brought tears to my eyes.

[klarolivia]

Great :) I have always thought that this was one of the best of the show too :)

[millerkv]

same here.  went to Brght Eyes' website and bought everything. Can't find the whole ACL show, in decent video.

Going for the Gold? Duh?

[klarolivia]

Is that the title? Thank you, but you don't need to be rude ... I just didn't know.

[klarolivia]

Sorry for the bad quality, don't know what's going on :)
