Set - Girlfriend 1:23 / Winona 4:33 / Divine Intervention 9:14 / Thought I Knew You 13:02
Acoustic in-store by Matthew Sweet with Ivan Julian 9/24/92, Virgin Records Megastore, Yokohama, Japan. During '92 Girlfriend tour. Very nice HI-8 video work, just wish the overhead light wasn't so annoying. Many thanks to my friend Chigusa ;)

How do you get to see Matthew Sweet in his prime, with the energy of a live performance, without him messing himself up by being nervous? Who knew it was this easy? All we had to do was find a performance from Japan, where he felt anonymous enough to relax... Magic. This right here is the reason he is my favorite artist.

Historical footage....Matthew's voice is simple "BRILLANT"

Wow, that is indeed a time capsule of 92. How we looked, sounded and felt. Thank you.

I simply adore the autograph hunting at the end and MS's reaction. :)

Thx much. The great Matthew Sweet...

OMG,,,,I was in Japan then,,,,two problems to temper my sadness: I discovered Matthew in 95, and was 2.5 hours south of Tokyo

At the height of his powers! Brilliant.

Thanks for posting. Really cool to see these vintage songs.

Oh, God. I was in Japan then but still did not know of Lord Matthew. From 1995 onward I did, and I don't believe he played after this,,,,,while I was there

[@jerrymuzak4534]

Matt, Ivan, and Stuart were a good fit.
