I always get super excited to meet someone that’s seen Elliott Smith live, as I was only fifteen when Elliott died on this very day in 2003. It’s been ten years! I’ve had the pleasure of venturing out to the Elliott Smith Figure 8 wall three times now. It’s not the same, but it feels pretty awesome to visit that spot.
Here a few snaps from my most recent visit in April:
Found this brilliant gem this evening. It’s a solo show played months before his death:

He was awesome seen him at a in-store performance back in his early days. So sad to lose a talent like that at so young an age.
You are so lucky!
After listening to the entire show, I felt as though Smith was a bit lazy… Maybe that’s how he always was. There’s quite a few full-length recordings of his shows on YouTube… Time to see what I missed!
