Jeff Mangum - Gardenhead - Live at Jittery Joe's

this is off the Live at Jittery Joe's CD. it's kind of a crappy video, but it's an awesome song.

i love how he's like, "i don't know what to play next."

"Gardenhead!"

"Ok."

ditto.

[miaokatze]

i am so jealous you got to see this

[joshman800000000]

don't be too jealous... because i didn't. oh how i wish i had, but this is a segment from a video someone took of this entire performance. it was on the CD, Live at Jittery Joe's. i put these up because they were some of my favorite versions.

[miaokatze]

oh, i thought you had recorded this yourself. i'm not jealous anymore!

[joshman800000000]

told you. i did try to be forthcoming about that in the description though.

Wait, what, wouldn't you save Anne Frank?

@sebytheman Not really, I've read the 33 1/3 book about the making of ITAOTS. Keep in mind that it was a solid few years between the recording of the album and Jeff not playing shows anymore. It's largely attributed to him having a nervous breakdown, something that he said he'd experienced before - you can hear him talk about it in chatter sections on one of the best known live recordings (it might be this one, before or after he plays 'Naomi').

@FlaminFingaz "now she's a little boy in spain, playing pianos filled with flames" i think he's into reincarnation.

heres just one reason i love NMH.. my roommate is an absolute antithesis of myself, and this song applies to each of us in a completely different way, but for each of us, its a good mother fucking song.

"some lives you live and some you leave behind"

Would I be suprised that Jeff Mangum has been reincarnating into different forms over history? Not one bit XD

[toymachinethunder]

"uhh i dunno what to play next"

"Gardenhead!!!"

haha

[Swiftlygothedays]

Oh my. Just when I though I couldn't love this song more. Perhaps I like this version a bit more than the one on Avery.

A bit more sped up. But showcases Jeff's lovely voice. Excellent.
