I've had these two Jim O'Rourke videos under my "favorites" for a long time. I watch them often. I am a huge O'Rourke fan. Thank you so much for sharing these videos.
interesting deviations from the studio version. So much musicality. Revealing vocal performance, i think. Quite the retiring violet. Such a shame, how can he walk away so easily from songwriting with that much talent!? Unique lyricist as well.
@@louisgardner5580 Manchester City had maybe won promotion back to Premier league that same day (note. having to fact check this - was definitely something related but maybe not promotion) and a fair few of the audience were in celebratory mode (i.e. steaming). I'm not sure what people were expecting from this concert - Eureka was still relatively new so I guess they thought they may be getting a full band show to play all those lush tunes. There was a restlessness in the audience. I remember someone shouting "do you know any Smiths?" whilst Loren Mazacane Connors (not sure of spelling) was playing his avant noise guitar set and then whilst Jim was playing this pissed dude just crawled up on stage and lay there mithering for a coupla songs. Jim was great, unfazed and didn't say a word and the guy was eventually coaxed off.

I don´t have words for how great i think these two videos are...Thx a lot!
Nice work! I love this song, and have never seen Jim live, so really enjoyed this.
his new album The Visitor is absolutely fantastic.

It was promotion for Man City but they were relegated again in 2001
