This honestly might be one of his best live performances recorded and it has the quality of a VHS you'd find in the back corner of a library's basement.
It was so sad when he passed. I just found out we were born just days apart the same month of August and the year 1969 me the 2nd him the 6th. It's just a crazy coincidence. 😮
Weird how I knew this only from good will hunting and didn't hear anything else about him for about 2 more years when I discovered Angeles it was a sealed deal I then re met a friend from my younger days who I lived w briefly who also loved elliot I then explored the rest of his workings It's interesting to share music discovery stories w other people
@@SmittenKitten. it’s also pays a bit of homage to me because I see myself in Elliott - dark, guitar player, addiction issues, etc. If I had the same talent as Elliott, my result could have been similar but I don’t so I had to make a normal life for myself.
It's so sad these are all so grainy. It's like 1930s video but it's not. Amazing dude who is missed. So sad, I never got to see him live before he died, I remember the day. You're not forgotten, buddy.
I’d prefer to hear the organize conversation of smith n O’Brien more than the rest of the shows dialogue other than the music , these guys are both great
Thanks for putting this up. Couldnt find it for a while. Really like Conans seemingly genuine enjoyment of the song. Wish Elliott was still with us. I woulda been more excited about being in the same room as Marc Maron tho
Americans don't chat about, we talk, we converse, and we even shoot the shit, but never do we chat about. We leave that to you pansy ass Brits while you talk on the telly wearing your trousers.
@@xXD0MMOXx hey, I'm an American myself but have no issues with Brits. Actually, I love the history of your country. I'm curious as to what a gun shagger is? Or however it was put? Is that like a common use for an insult? Like douche bag or something? Please advise. Thank you. P.S. my curiosity is genuine.
@faster jonny well it's not obvious to me. I'm not sure why you gotta be a dick about it. My bad for not understanding that gun shagger translates to a very high percentage of U.S. citizens own guns. I think that's what you're saying anyway, you did finish your sentence with a question mark indicating you are asking me.
I can't listen ti this. Mainstream success was the worst thing that ever happened to Elliott. Not in terms of artistic integrity, but it just teared his sense of community apart. Peace
Suicide is heart breaking, but very courageous. Some people just can’t stop their own pain so they end it. To take your own life is the single most intimate and terrifying moment an individual can have with themselves. But judging from your comment you don’t understand. I hope you never have to experience crippling depression like I, Elliott, and many others have to feel. It would surely change your mind.
This honestly might be one of his best live performances recorded and it has the quality of a VHS you'd find in the back corner of a library's basement.
thanks for this comment
This performance was the first time I ever heard of Elliott Smith and that was it, I was in love for the next few years, then he was gone.
his music isn't gone tho..
💜🙏😥

Shoutout to the guy that recorded this on VHS and ripped it to the computer.
I love the way he's trying his best to vibe along the music at 3:34, it makes me smile.
😭❤
The sustain at the end was crazy good
3:58 What I could make of it in my own imagination is Conan asking him: "How do you even come up with such brilliant lyrics and melodies?"
I really like to see Elliott smiling!!!
Elliott was an angel, one of a kind
The greatest songwriter of his generation
Named my son Elliott for this guy. ;)
I did too! Middle name though - 2 ll’s and 2 tt’s. Not that I want the same result but man, Elliott was the man.
@@beck204 I love that!!! Does your son know? Everytime I listen to Elliott, my son says, "I'm named after him." Haha!
@@beck204 Elliott was an incredible human being. The world failed him, not vice versa. Dont ever be afraid that your son will be like him.
@@SmittenKitten. he’s only 5 so I don’t think it would land on him yet. I will though. You?

Fair play to Conan - he appreciated Elliott.
Thank you. I remember this so clearly, thinking “holy shit he’s MADE IT.” Thank you for posting.

I find it charming
This song kills me
God bless you Conan for this and so, so much more.
Conan was obviously excited to talk to Elliott Smith.
I want to know what conan and elliott are saying to each other
Conan asked him does he sit or stand when wiping
@@larmoran4885 man was asking deep philosophical questions damn
@@bigchickentime7391 Elliot had a profound answer im sure
I’d prefer to hear the organize conversation of smith n O’Brien more than the rest of the shows dialogue other than the music , these guys are both great
♡
Thanks for sharing
what's the best besides elliot rocking is the vhs fuss.. that will run off the kids who never had to track their VHS!
I've never seen Marc Maron so young 😂😂😂
He used to live in my neighborhood in Portland Oregon. He was living in Los Angeles when he passed though. Sad story.
TRACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tracking won't fix the noise. A dedicated tape head alignment for this particular tape would result in a noise free video.
so pretty and sad 😢
2 videos in n it's been awhile since I fell into a Elliot bingep0rtal
Nice upload thanks
Marc Maron and Elliott Smith in the same room is like my favorite thing.
That's so cool, I love Maron as well.
Incantevole
I miss a time where regular guys like Elliott Smith could casually be on national TV and people actually watched it
4:25 jordan schlansky
I'm trying to see him but whaaat? I can't
@@delucksedition he is in the credit text
oh so he's a unit manager
whatever that is
@@ferouihamza It involves various duties
@@painiscupcake5433 well done
holy shit marc maron definitely grew into his looks lol. miss old conan ❤️ and elliott 🥺
Thanks for putting this up. Couldnt find it for a while. Really like Conans seemingly genuine enjoyment of the song. Wish Elliott was still with us.
I woulda been more excited about being in the same room as Marc Maron tho
Conan is into guitars and stuff so I wouldn't be surprised if he was genuinely into Smith's music and acoustic dexterity
I wonder what Elliott and Conan were chatting about
Americans don't chat about, we talk, we converse, and we even shoot the shit, but never do we chat about. We leave that to you pansy ass Brits while you talk on the telly wearing your trousers.

Heroin
Same, seems like they got along alright. Conan has always had good musical guests on, too.
wow
Jimmy Vivino just casually DESTROYING that solo at the end there. 😅(in a good way)
would have loved to see Elliott interact with Jordan Schlansky.
I can't listen ti this. Mainstream success was the worst thing that ever happened to Elliott. Not in terms of artistic integrity, but it just teared his sense of community apart. Peace
whos here after reading his wiki page?
Why? Does it mention this?
Hahaha absolutely actually
Lmao absolutely.
me
This time he didn't have Jack Nicholson staring Him down.
Wow, there was a time when musicians actually played music live really well without using a playback... Beautiful....
For the record theres a fuckton who fit this criteria just less who are popular.
You're looking at the wrong musicians mate, there's a lot of good music being made today.
Agree with the above. It's more "who" than "when."
You sound like your parents :)
I'm just a smudge on a screen to you.
do you miss me, miss misery?
shy and successful
You're cute
Thank god the masturbating bear didnt come out and destroy Elliotts concentration
Reincarnation of Nick Drake? RIP, both missed.
The person who disliked this is doing it for attention
Is that a confession?
Can you confirm that?
Why does god take away the good ones?
The broken ones are usually the loveliest, and sometimes they kill themselves.
@@harxciii or their girlfriends kill them
So they become immortalized

Someone should use AI to take out the fuzz and make the quality better.
Why is the screen crumpling???
old footage man
It wasn't suicide... no one misspells their own name on a suicide note... even if it's a moniker they go by.
his name was misspelt on the coroners report, not the suicide note
im sure silverchair ripped this for their song 'miss u love'
is this supposed to be funny? I don't get it
what lmao
Suicide is a selfish, disrespectful way. Sickening
FUCK OFF, TROLL.
Yeah because people who stab themselves in the heart are capable of making rational decisions in that moment.
Foda-se
wasn’t a suicide anyway
