He played "Bye" like it was no big deal.Are you kidding me, Elliott?!! That's a masterpiece, it sounds like something right out of the Classical Era! Cigarette in mouth, Wow. Xo
WHAT?!! I've been looking for this exact live performance of 'Bye' where the girl shouts 'rock me!' ever since I lost the cd someone burnt for me containing a bunch of rare tracks. Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine that video footage of it existed. wow, thank you.
You can find this entire show, as well as dozens and dozens of other bootlegged shows, at elliottsmithbootlegs[dot]com. Archive[dot]org also has close to 100 shows, some of them in astoundingly crisp quality.
I understand what you mean! Truly though, of course he knew he was “good”, I believe he knew he was far far more than that. I have found that often those artists that actually are perhaps “genius” (what ever that really means) find themselves rarely if ever truly happy with their work…they will never be satisfied, how could they be… “you may write the perfect song, but you won’t live long”~Quasi “Poisoned Well” It’s a curse
Bye is actually in a movie, can’t remember what it’s called, but that version (on a cool synth) is played by Elliott in a movie. The version on TH-cam is called snow bunnies serenade. Same movie ends w/ his tune splitzville and he cameos as a bus driver i think. (This might b 2 separate movies tho idr lol)
This isn’t the channel I’d expect to see Elliot Smith footage, but a very pleasant surprise. Independence Day is one of my absolute favorites from him. I think we all wish Elliot could interview Elliot. Then again I count my blessings, one of which is that we live in a reality that we got to have him in the first place.
When he wrote the song was it Duracell bunny but Energizer bought the bunny and renamed it energizer bunny or did elliott mistake the energizer bunny for the Duracell bunny?
I love how he’s smoking a cigarette during Bye like some old timey barroom piano player :)
Sometimes a ray of sunshine touches the earth at the perfect spot at the perfect moment and that's what Elliott Smith was

i'm sure you've worked this out in the intervening five years, but still: there's a complete recording of this show on YT
Damn ... hope this never gets taken down ever ...
Bye is one of my favorite pieces by Elliott. If you ask me, it’s some of the most creative and well written pieces of his.
Totally agree 👍
He is so perfect. I can't describe how much I love him.
You still love him?
@@reeceburton7864 hope so :,)
@@reeceburton7864 I hope
Yes she does ❤
elliott on piano! beautiful. he seemed so modest its crazy, like he thinks it wasnt good, but in reality he was amazing. Makes me sad.

It’s a curse
He was a genius on the piano. I love this man so much ❤️
imagine him composing film scores. ugh
I've been thinking this all day.

Man, Elliott's piano playing is astoundingly good. Wish we got more performances of "Bye" because this is tremendous.
I play piano and he just makes this look so effortless.... Elliott Smith was a genius and I wish I could have seen him live
Elliott live on the piano this a rarity! Thank you so much for sharing
Fucking stellar is what this is. Two of his most mind blowing tunes! God elliott, what a mind and body you were.
God...he was good.
Sweet sweet Elliott💕☁️☁️

Bye 4:40 🎹
thanks for uploading ES i got see him live lawrence, ks
Thank you so much for sharing!!! It's great when I happen across an Elliott video that I haven't already seen.
Thanks soooooo much for the upload
Twesome to see a live performance of bye. Thanks for sharing.
This "Bye" version is way better than the original
He left his drink on the piano. I bet someone bought him another!
in brazil and some other countries there is an actual duracell bunny, so he's not wrong about that
Duracell adopted the pink bunny first and energizer stole the idea!
holy shit...bye
When he wrote the song was it Duracell bunny but Energizer bought the bunny and renamed it energizer bunny or did elliott mistake the energizer bunny for the Duracell bunny?
Duracell used to have a bunny mascot but they got rid of it
Hi
Its so weird. its the energizer bunny
