@tzohfeld lol, he forgets the lyrics as he's singing it
-
If I ever had the chance to meet him, I'd kiss those magical hands of his and thank him for all his music.
-
mmmm what a nice guitar...and how fitting that such a beautiful, beautiful man is playing it. no words can describe the things elliott smith's music makes me feel...unless, of course, he could write them. i'm sure he could have put them to words...
-
I agree and think that a lot of elliott's songs are probably like that (saying "he" or "you" when he's actually talking about himself). Most the time one can only wonder, so it's neat to see it acknowledged here. Though I also remember elliott being quoted as saying "sometimes I write songs and even I (emphasizing "even I") don't know what the song's about." I believe it.
-
I hypothesize (perhaps incorrectly) that a lot of times songwriters say "he" or "she" when actually referring to themselves. So little changes like this could indeed be important to the song's interpretation. Though I suppose in the end, our interpretations will always be subjective.

Hi - I am wondering if this show was recorded in Los Angeles? I think I'm in that audience - it's all very familiar but maybe I am wrong....thanks for posting.
-
I never heard this lyric change before at 5:12 ("that's the one thing that I could never do" was changed to "that's the one thing that he could never do"). Small but maybe very important. hmm. I especially love how he has the cigarette tucked in the guitar (at the end of the video he takes it out and takes a puff). I thought someone behind him was smoking, then I realized the cigarette was in the guitar LOL how clever!

Elliott should have started every show with "Miss Misery" so we wouldn't have to listen to the idiots shouting for it between every song. Almost every video of him performing live has some mongoloid shouting, "Miss Misery"...go home posers! I love that song too, but he had hundreds of other great ones.

this is the only time I've ever seen him play condor. He always "doesn't remember it"=P
it's one his best written songs, absolutely amazing
