17:36 - I just love how some guy told him to play a song backwards and he playfully obliged instead of rolling his eyes or ignoring him like some other performers would. He was so sweet, humble, and adorable! What a loss to humanity, never mind the world of music.

these young kids will never understand how 28:17 happened

...I recorded this video long ago...I went with two friends and we were able to get really close to the front of what eventually became easily over 200 people...there were two guys right in front of us that were cool enough to move a little bit out of the way because they saw that I was recording...it was pretty amazing...I felt a little guilty being right up on top of him but I figured screw it...it was pretty awesome...also saw him later that night play with quasi at Liberty lunch...he came up and accompanied them on "the poisoned well" which I believe may have been about the guy to begin with...afterwards, I was approached by a guy who wanted to trade a soundboard recording of the set for the tape of the show which I did, but before I was able to trade the tape, I went to a hypnotist performance at Utsa with my buddy...that would explain the weird recording at 28 minutes in...ill have to post that sound board recording in here soon...after the set we met him and gave him an antique photo of my friends' and i's artistic interpretation of "southern belle" and told him the reason we did it was because we figured that he was sick and tired of pictures of him...it was a memorable few moments with him...

Greatest song writer ever since in my opinion. The Melodie’s he felt were so emotional and unique it’s like a John Lennon..a creativity that surpasses any technical boundary too..tho his songs are pretty complicated, he could write a song that does so much without ever showing off..every note and lyric was so genuine with melody that was so eerily beautiful. No one like him and sadly no one will ever be..I really wish he was still here.

Elliott: mmm.... random guy: Alameda! Elliott: mmm....ok... I love this dude!

This footage is precious.

I remember this like yesterday!!!! i was so excited to get to see him at Waterloo, i was 14years old! I had seen and met him at a set couple months before at SouthBy and was just awestruck by what he could do, this was back when SXSW was, well what it was meant to be, no longer.... Rock on Elliot,you will forever be in our hearts...

Every single gig of Elliott Smith is an ultimate masterpiece. Thank you for sharing, Elliott's music will never die thanks to you cool guys who like it and share with us all!

I miss the 90's.

I was there! I saw him several time in Austin, first at Liberty Lunch with Sebadoh. At the Electric Lounge with Pete Krebs. Sadly, great Austin venues that are no longer around. Elliott's music really saved me in my twenties. RIP, dear Elliott! You are dearly missed.

What he did with Independence Day was incredible. Thanks for sharing this video.

I love how he starts playing and everyone is quiet! Such an underrated musician!

Thank you so much 💗

You know it's really ironic I bought my first Elliott smith record in this store he played at and I didn't even know it at the time

I love how Elliott Smith is not a mega superstar and yet there's plenty of footages of him of youtube. Those footages are so precious. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing, awesome setlist. And he sounds great, voice and guitar. Cool that it's a texas show too when you know how much of a problem he had with dallas. Love the absolute silence during the music, sign of respect. I didn't discover elliott until I saw The Royal Tenenbaums and went home and downloaded Needle in the Hay. Wish I would have known about him sooner so I could have caught some shows like this before things got all fucked up.

Holy crap! I can't believe this exists. I was at this in-store and he played that night at Liberty Lunch. Amazing. Thank you.

please dont stop uploading elliott concerts!

people you've been before that you don't want around anymore. for me that lines all about resisting self-loathing and pushing away those that love you, break my heart that line

真好听

Thank you!!

Elliott is so relaxed here that steven comes out :p Smaller audience perhaps? Dont know becausenither smallnones ive watches hes still been a wreck so my theory doesnt really pan out. 00:13:50 st ides I tried and i failed to play elliott guitar, get off me! Its difficult damn it, BUT this is deadly so beautiful! Makes me want to try again.

His voice is in fine form here. Perfect.

from Philadelphia,,, but now I live in Austin... 2015 though.. but always have loved Elliott.. he is so brave for Division Day.. for those who know what its about for him..

Thanks for the upload :-)

Wow, this is fantastic!! September 26, 1998, my 28th birthday and we took the train into NYC from Connecticut to bar hop in the lower east side, listening to bizarro hipster bands....I'd have much rather been here in Austin, a place I've never been, not even Texas.

What a setlist 🔥🔥🔥

great upload, thank you so much

Thank you for sharing!

Немного похоже на ранние битловские песни.

Actual genius.

What an unfortunately placed bar, we don't get to see his guitar playing :(

Whoever gave this a thumbs down can get punched in the face.

Elliott was best with a full band. This is lame.
