Elliott Smith playing I Figured You Out Jan 31, 2003 Henry Fonda Theater, Los Angeles, CA If I labeled anything wrong, please let me know. And you can tell that half way through the show I realized that there was a balcony.
I saw him 3x a year before he died. Extremely grateful. His shows were beautiful btw. I remember being in awe, especially of good his guitar playing was.
he wrote this song off as 'a stupid song that sounded like the eagles' that he wrote 'in about a minute'. I would kill to achieve such perfection over the course of a month.
Wow, a couple years ago I got a bootleg, just audio, of an Elliott Smith show from a guy who wrote reviews on shows, and its totally this show. It has that girl telling him to move the mic and everyone yelling no, its definitely the same show, what a coincidence.
1:00 (Phone rings) "your every kind of a caller". I used to have a copy of Either/Or that skipped twice on the lyric think I'm gonna/gonna make the same mistake twice. Strange coincidences.
@@mattoconnell9291 why was Elliott crying after the concert? I understand why you might have been crying, but to read that Elliott was also crying after the show makes me wonder what was the matter. Was it because he was moved by the love his fans had for him, or was he just bummed because he felt he didn't do well enough that night?
"god i wanna learn this song so bad on my guitar but i dont get the way he strums...oh well i might get it soon...ive only been playing about a 8 months" You pick the melody with your index finger and strum with your thumb. Occasionally the thumb does individual strings, but mostly just strums.
He wrote great lyrics and tunes but too gentle for me, almost whispered and pitchy. Some folks go for that kind of thing and more power to you, it wouldn't be good if we were all the same!
is he pitchy? I've been a musician for a long time but don't have too great pitch unless I smoke a little herb, is he singing out of tune on this recording?
@@contactkeithstack he was a bit out of pitch but he just got back into performing after a massive heroin and crack addiction so he’s probably incredibly anxious
