As a person who often plays in similar settings where a good amount of people are more interested to chatting then listening, seeing that this has happened also to great artists makes me feel a bit more confident 😁 thanks for sharing!
17 years ago I moved to Seattle from the Midwest, and one of the big reasons was the influence this album had on my life...lame thing to say online, but definitely true. Saw Mt. Eerie live in Anacortes for the first time in late 2005, and quite a few times over the two years after that. Now many years later, I have lived in Asia for a decade (really hoping to move back to the US soon) and definitely can still say this album has a profound effect on me and my artistic pursuits.
I miss these days. I can smell the beer sticky floor. The Need toured with Blonde Redhead that November. Forgot all about Battle Bots. They cancelled Strangers With Candy for that crap.
I listened your music the first time in 2002-2004 on a radio show from Chile called "Super 45". I recorded it on a cassette and then listened on my walkman on the way to high school. An analog time without youtube or spotify... Then downloaded it from soulseek (sorry, it was the only way). "The Glow pt 2" and "Don't wake me up" albums felt back then like a huge hug in the midst of so much loneliness, saying to me "It's ok to feel like shit"; I felt very very sad in that period, learning about love and heartbreaks, about how the world really works. That's called now containment. I'm 37, I listen to your music and I can connect with my feelings back, in such a vivid way. Thank you
I wasn't even born for another 4 years ish and still something about this is super nostalgic idk if its the quality or the sheer amount of times I've listened to this song but I'm all for it. Absolutely beautiful
Why couldn’t i be alive for this. I don’t know if Phil will ever return to my wonderful bluegrass state, but if he did I’d sell a kidney just to see a minute of the show.
Thanks for sharing Phil. It's really inspring to hear an artist I admire a lot in their kind of "awkward amateur" stage, makes me feel like there's still hope for me and fellow artists who are kind of figuring things out.
I was so excited to see this new-old footage upload, as an old school fan. When the video started, I was infuriated with the crowd's chatter. Soon, though, I was reminded of the Daoist absurdity of life, and how this rude crowd over this monumental song is actual PERFECT, by about the second stanza- "I took my shirt off in the yard. No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden. Now it's not. My shirt's back on. The Glow is gone...." In short, this group of normies who showed up to a show to chatter instead of intently listening to the performer (which I'm proud to say, EVERY Microphones/Mt Eerie show I made it to in 2003-2010 had instead), their ignorance is PERFECTLY PARALLEL to the "No one seeing" the golden shoulders of Phil's lyrics. Phil if you ever see this--your music has helped me through countless crises, especially recent deaths (which are always too soon for those who love the deceased). Even when people transgress against us, like the chattering Kentucky hipsters in this video, let's try to remember that this is a defining element of life itself, in its chaos and its churning. Phil's music has always helped me keep that in mind, and try to keep my head up consequently.
I live in Lexington Ky and I promise you this is still how crowds and venues treat artist.Especially opening acts literally no respect, gotta go to Louisville for a decent show. The mountain goats get treated like kings her atleast
Nowadays people mostly tranquilized with phones. Lot of bars are/were like that though. They have no obligation to listen. You hypnotize them with performance.
y'all were in Winnipeg earlier that year? or in 1999? and i think that, instead of headlining, you opened for local bands. so i missed your set and regret it. the end.
that crowd was not ready for the glow pt. 2
they didn't know they were hearing one of the greatest songs of all time from one of the greatest albums of all time
but their children's sure going to love it
@@BlackDog53097I was literally going to write this 😂
"that was pretty shitty, huh?" haha, little did Phil know that this would be just the start of one of the greatest indie-artists in existence.
i think he said "sounds pretty shitty" in regards to the distortion he just put on his acoustic guitar. And he's right it sounds perfectly shitty 👌
Impressive how the camera person was doing a handstand

Not lame, you lived
Wake up babe Phil’s posting his own live clips and they’re solid gold
Thank you, father for restocking The Glow Pt. 2 LP
This video is such a fever dream

What an artifact, thanks for posting this
HE RE-STOCKED THE GLOW PT 2! i just ordered mine :0
I'd love to hear more live recordings from you, your performances are always out of this world.
white ashes

people really talking through one of the best songs ever made smh
fr😒‼️
I think he’s playing in a bar. People won’t be quiet no matter what you do
oh wow! i hope you post more of these old videos
Sometimes extreme contrast can bring out and enhance the beautiful energy otherwise hidden or missed. Thanks for sharing (and creating)
This is like coming across the music video equivalent of an endangered vaquita: rare and quite precious.
had to pull up some battle bots on mute to watch with my peripheries for maximum immersion. Thanks for everything man

Hell even just like a book publishing event or to see him on the street would make me feel as though the universe truly is listening to my prayers.
I really feel you, I wish I was there to experience this too

Best song AOT⁉️⁉️
It’s really cool seeing something like this archived, thank you for sharing
Loved seeing this
i live in Lexington. i know it’s 22 years later but i would kill to see you perform here lmao
낭만이 넘친다...
wonder what the cameraman is on lol
Phil could get through this show without a battle bots
Thanks for sharing Phil :)
I am so glad this video exists. Thank you Phil.
this is absolutely beautiful
best song of all time 🌌
Wow, I didn’t know you ever played around here. This was about a month before I was born
Exact same thing for me, born December 2000 in lex

This is actually hilarious 🤣

I LOVE BATTLEBOTS
This is excellent
Love it!
Nice
How does one even deal with this type of crowd? without going crazy
Nowadays people mostly tranquilized with phones. Lot of bars are/were like that though. They have no obligation to listen. You hypnotize them with performance.
Woah
Neat surprise!
Really captures pre 9/11 happiness
Great stuff!
