Daniel Johnston - Devil Town / Live at ATP vs Fans 20/05/07

Daniel Johnston's last song at ATP vs The Fans! The guy in the audience next to me that I film briefly is my best friend Hamish, who is a massive fan!

What is better than a photo of yourself with Daniel Johnston? A VIDEO of yourself with Daniel Johnston!!

He was incredible, and we met him and he was lovely :]

I must have been a few metres to the left. How did you meet him? Incidentally were the other sets he played identical to this or different?

[alicaurusrex]

Yeah, they were kind of similar, he basically played the same songs each time, but he didn't play organ first time, and he didn't do Devil Town second time. Third set was the best!!

[alicaurusrex]

He was awesome!!

[pirateale]

good song, i feel bad how he shakes that much....

[jordanhackney]

chilling

[gregorisgod]

This fact could be true, I'm on anti-psychotics and anti-depressants and they do make you shake like nothing else.

I wish I'd been at this, ATP is the best festival around. Ten Years of ATP was perfect, sadly Daniel didn't play it.

[Chanitooo]

agree

[xGambitx]

Noah and The Whale did a nice cover of it too!

[iTubeQQQQQ]

It's not the band's fault if their fans don't realize it's a cover. I myself think most Bright Eyes fans are stupid.

But I love this song and what Conor did with it, and if it weren't for Bright Eyes then I wouldn't know who Daniel Johnston was. So I'm pretty glad they did the cover.

[iTubeQQQQQ]

The cover your talking about is found on the album Noise Floor, which contains rarities that aren't found on Bright Eyes' full length albums, like songs from EPs or compilations. I think if they were doing if for money it wouldn't be a rarity

Plus, in the lyric booklet for Noise Floor, it says "This Daniel Johnston cover was recorded for the Discovered Covered compilation... I relate to this song a great deal and it felt wonderful to sing." You might not like the band, but they're not sellouts.
