Oh my god thank you so much for this. Beautiful contrast to the released version which is one of my favourite songs of his. Love the falsetto instead of the shouting, both work so well yet portray the same feeling. It's almost like the 'original' is someone actually high and angry, and this one is someone coming down the next day just down.
You’re right - I’m hearing high tide too. He was always tinkering with his tunes. This is one of the better “angry” Elliott songs so thank you for posting.
I love this so much. It feels so raw and intimate in comparison to other version that he ultimately made. He obviously wasn't happy with how he sounded in this, though. Thanks.
Yeah I literally laughed out loud at that. Elliott was such a talented genius that this beautiful rendition was considered bad for him. Absolutely the greatest of all time.

"man i sing that one bad" -- was literally one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard
he is absolutely saying "high tide" here
I'm once again asking for more Summer 1997 Rehearsal videos.
You’re not alone. I want more too
“I’m so sick and tired trying to change your mind, when it’s so easy to disconnect mine.” Always love how he delivered those lines.
