He thinks as much through his guitar as his mind. I've seen him live, and its amazing to just hear his ideas flowing out his hands. Incredible... so genuine
I am just listening to and remembering how good the Face the Truth album is. Everything this guy puts out is really good. This song presages (along with 1% of One) the long songs that dominate Real Emotional Trash.
i think the best part about this performance is that he probably never practiced these songs acoustically before doing this. but he still fuckin shreds!!
@theredkatana. I loved Pavement and I love Malkmus and the Jinks. All I meant was, Pavement aside, this performance is really, really good and should be put away in a vault some where as an example of musical genius. I just think that it stands strongly by itself set apart from what Pavement did. It's just too bad, not more people are listening.
@McGuinty1 The album version (and this one as well) definitely has a Dancing Days tease in it when gavinadam noted. Not uncommon for artists to borrow a riff from one of their influences.
you know, I really agree with you; but at the same time, and this is a bit of a contradiction, there really is a consistency, a similarity, a foundation to his work such that most of his songs over these 16 years could have appeared on any of the albums and they would fit
actually he is famous among music lovers. i consider him extremely famous and so do my friends. it just goes to show you how so much of the world is unwilling to listen to anything but absolute crap.

Know the song well. You realise how good a song it is when you see what he's doing on the fretboard and with his right hand. An underrated musician
underrated where? only those who are embarrassed about their pretentions would dis this

First time I've seen anyone mention 1% of one, love that track
Pavement will be forgotten. This will live on.
you are wrong
This guy is incredibly talented
Thanks for the heart touching music Mr Malkmus :)
It's like an alternative Paul Simon, bravo, man...
Take care, God bless...
Haha absolutely.
Hope you're doing well a decade on.
guy is awesome
He remains me more of Richard Thompson and Fairport Convention by now.
how is he not like really famous
This is just great. I love Malkmus' music! He's sounding like troubleclef with that guitar.

Now there’s a leap
i wouldnt even have enough patience to write a song like that.... thats so cool
John Fahey would be proud.
Stephen Malkmus at sasquatch was incredible, highlight of the festival! I HAD NO IDEA HE HAD CHICKS IN THE BAND. they were amazing!

There's a program called Tubesock that will do it.
Everyone of you should check out Benjy Ferree...I think he has an NPR video here on you tube. He's also got a unique voice and style like Malkmus.
did i hear a dancing days tease in there? 3:20?
posthumous legend
