no way...elliott covering bob. there would only be one thing cooler in life than this. that would be bob covering elliott. my head would explode with an overload of joy.
Simmer down people; it's a Bob Dylan song. The Band covered it and made a couple small alterations: compare "where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece" in Dylan's version to "where I've got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece" in The Band's. So Elliott is covering the Band covering Bob Dylan.
Wicked awesome. Was this at the Newbury St location or the one Downtown next to City Hall? I work downtown very close to the Newbury Comics there and I was working when I heard about his death, I was so upset I had to leave and for some reason found myself wandering that Newbury Comics a few minutes later. I was so shocked by the news, but didn't want to tell anyone who there.
Damn, I really wanted to hear Elliott Smith covering Bob Dylan's song "When I Paint My Masterpiece". He covered several Dylan songs actually. But not this one, I guess :(
This version is a masterpiece.
Thats one of the reasons I love Elliott so much.
Youre so lucky that you were there, Im honestly so jealous.

Genuine...that's all I can use to describe Elliott to anyone...completely genuine
Oh my god, this was absolutely amazing! I can't even put into words how amazing this was!
i cant thank you enough for uploading this.
I have to say, although I love Dylan, and Elliot. I think "The Band's" version of this song is by far my favorite.
Thank you so much. You made my day.
damn! great!!! thx for posting this pure moment of joy
This video made my day.
I love how the guy from Boston described this as "wicked awesome."
A master covering a master
Love the Elliott wave.
WOW!! Newbury Comics!!
Simply the best
I lived like 4 blocks away at the time, why wasn't I there????

i think that it is awesome that he is playing next to a "korn" shirt.
God . . . that's Elliott Smith
Miss you Elliott
@whitestripebuzz That is an awesome idea!! Just trying to think which would be the best song for him to do.
Fucking brilliant
does anyone have audio of this? I cant find it anywhere.
He's the greatest
I can't stop listening to this. Is there anywhere to download it?

the melody sounds like, "lost highway."

Anyone know what elliotts shirt says in this one?
It's sad that this is all we have left of Elliott. I mean, it's a great video. But it's a video.
@howe5529 This guy is Elliott Smith, one of the best songwriters of the last years :)
Very good...
Gone too soon.
such a great song! does anybody know what he says right at the beginning?
“I’m not gonna crack up.. i will not laugh”
Damn, I really wanted to hear Elliott Smith covering Bob Dylan's song "When I Paint My Masterpiece".

Elliott Smith When I Paint My Masterpiece (Bob Dylan Cover)
no one could have done it better...
Friend, that's Elliott Smith. Just type in that name to the youtube search box. It'll open your eyes (and ears maybe).
he sings the lyrics as dylan wrote them
@ChesaDexter Cool, thanks! ^_^
Someone tell me the chords to this song ASAP!!!!
this makes me really sad.. youre some lucky guy.
@jennerich9
nope. Bob wrote it and recorded it first.
wow! really?!?! Awesome!
Is this tuned down?
@tatelabianca PAVEMENT REFERENCE
I know this was 2 years ago, but I hope you know that at least one person caught it.
actually, it's a BOB DYLAN song! The BAND covered it.
There's a better Elliott Smith version of this underrated Dylan song out there. I believe it was in a Portland club. Might be audio only though.
which ones man???
i'm not gonna crack up. i will not laugh.
ha yea yea elliott you make me laugh.
Did he cover this one?
@ChadReidSmith In time this video will also disappear, and so will everyone who ever watched it or ever knew anyone who ever heard this music.
@liracul "The Pirate Battalion; Army ROTC; Hampton University"
howe5529... thats not an amateur.. thats elliott smith...
@howe5529 that's hilarious
11 people never created a masterpiece.
Check out what my kitten did with Jokerman, it will change your world! =P
actually...THE BAND cover...
@ericellers he's dead. so he can't cover this song again.
.........wow bud lol
@howe5529 i hope you're being sarcastic. -.-
this shows how good a singer dylan is
lol
it'd be even better if he got the right chord progression for the middle 8
seen better on the streets
wow, thank you!
It's sad that this is all we have left of Elliott. I mean, it's a great video. But it's a video.
