I love stumbling across this video and seeing people say it is the greatest video on youtube. I was at this show and I can tell you that it was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in my life. That church basement is legendary.
I know. I always go to this video whenever I need to remember how important music is to my life. There's something so raw and beautiful and pure about this video.
this is without doubt the best video on youtube. Best performance of this song by a MILE. I want this played at my funeral... you know, just to cheer everyone up =)
I didn't pay attention to the lyrics to this song much until I saw this video. He says it's about death. The words are so powerful; Go read them 5 Stars
@lanvids Saw him and the gang @ the Monsters of Folk show earlier this year and it was amazing. Crazy, emotional, wonderful Conor... far from distant and extremely engaging.
I love how into it he gets, I don't think any other musician does that. I mean sure some bang their head and roll on the floor lol but he's different :3
HerrAmn nice job lol, I love bright eyes and anything...but the shine is starting to dull. The fact that I can flip through the channels and land on fuse to see a video playing of his. Hey, It's great his band is making it; and his art is being acknowledged. I'm truly happy for that...but I miss the feeling. If you understand what I mean, then I shouldn't have to describe this feeling.
One of the best Bright Eyes songs. I hate how basically every live performance of theirs since 2004 has completely ignored their older material and consisted of just songs from I'm Wide Awake and Digital Ash and maybe one or two from Lifted, while the audience sits 2 miles away in the balcony of an enormous theatre or stadium. I miss the crazy, manic, screaming Conor Oberst and the intimate up-close shows...but those days are pretty much gone forever, I'm afraid.
He is a human being like anyone else... things change... he changes... he ages... What the hell do you expect? You have no idea who or what he is... how dare you make any statements on what is going on with him or his performances.
@lanvids You have to understand that Conor's grown up. Although those albums were all classics, I guess he's grown tired of that image of the whiny emo kid we have all known and love.
The feeling that you are the only one who knows about him? that you just wish that only people you approved of like him? I mean, if he has a bunch of emo fans that only know lover i don't have to love then yes, thats shit, and they should probably not ever get to listen to him, but now he is getting attention for his music, not his "emoness" which in my opinion, isn't emo at all.
I'm just tired of bands preaching against the evils in the society; for example Bright eyes "boycotting" Clear Channel. When they are now playing on AOL sessions or selling tickets through ticketmaster, which are in a sense just as bad. To put it plainly; I have a feeling the greed that was buried deep within the roots of Bright Eyes a while backis starting to reveal itself in this new CD release.
if i had a time machine this is exactly where i'd be.
Thanks UA-cam recommendations June 2020. Hit me up in another 13 years so I can reminisce again.

I remember when This Day Forward had their last show - same basement, no?
I am going to a Bright Eyes concert in 2022, 20 years later.... Never seen them and I am stoked! Such a good band!
The best

Josiah Alstott couldn’t agree more

This is not exactly a cheer up song lol. But I get you. My funeral songs will be: Time forgot - #Artifact - this song and Easy/Lucky/Free.
I'd sacrifice a lot to see 2002 bright eyes.
I honestly believe that this is the most beautiful performance ever recorded. Honestly.
I believe it too!
This performance brings me to tears every time. What an incredible song.
have been coming back to this video for over 10 years. thanks for the upload.
I never thought I'd see such a great performance of one of my favourite songs!
One of my favorite songs by far!
this was the dary after my birthday, what a 10th birthday present this would have been...too bad i wasnt even into music back then...
From that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake
That you put around her face!! Glorious
'i wrote this song about dying'
wow.
this man is higher than god to me.
beautiful.
Good lord this video gives me chills...."....around her face!!!!!" Woa, so intense and amazing!
Best song ever written
i dislike the fact that there are only 2 videos of this song live!
His voice is just so raw and real that it tickles my ears.
I just love him his soul
IT IS!!!
I didn't pay attention to the lyrics to this song much until I saw this video. He says it's about death.
The words are so powerful; Go read them
5 Stars
this is the greatest thing ever
happening happening happening happening
wow gave me chills
I love this song. Does he have an all-girl back up band? Nice one!
brilliant!
4:23 the female singer is wiping tears from her face
Conor is the absolute best singer/song writer out there
Conor, Michale Graves and Colin Hay are my favorites!
@@skifullydone8165 based misfits enjoyer
@@OctoberCountryy Misfits are awesome. Never got to see Danzig's Misfits and Graves'. Only Jerry Only Misfits lol.
How the fuck does one come to write something like this? My god...
one of a kind
Wow.
he deserves it cuz he writes all the songs
Woah.
Kills me. Every damn time.
Intense!
I wish I had been into Bright Eyes back then, but unfortunately I was only 9 and had no idea what good music was haha
Dope back-up vocals.
@papillon786 well that's what i meant, his posthumous albums. i still count those as releases from him :P
@papillon786 well fair enough, but you know elliott had releases in the 00s and bright eyes had releases in the 90s :P
@lanvids Saw him and the gang @ the Monsters of Folk show earlier this year and it was amazing. Crazy, emotional, wonderful Conor... far from distant and extremely engaging.
absolute classic shit
If this was in 2002, that would have put him at 22.
@lanvids yeah except for center of the world, is from fevers not im wide awake, or digital ash
I love how into it he gets, I don't think any other musician does that.
I mean sure some bang their head and roll on the floor lol but he's different :3
He says that in the begining of the Austin City Limits video i think..

hilarious... my friend and i filmed these
always wondered why it looked like stop motion, like Nightmare Before Christmas you know?

Where are you getting all of these badass videos?!
@papillon786 and Nick Drake+ The Beatles was the original Elliott Smith. I love Elliott Smith and Conor is one talented dude.
I LOVE THE ASIAN GIRL. LOVE. HER.
He is a human being like anyone else... things change... he changes... he ages... What the hell do you expect? You have no idea who or what he is... how dare you make any statements on what is going on with him or his performances.
ahhh
this is the end of the world.
This isn't happeningx5 IT IS!
Also, does anyone know the name of the woman preforming with him?
Joji Miller jiha lee
This songs about dying lol
How old is he during this show? He seems young..
Ouch...
where is mike mogis ?
yep it is. maria is left handed and the drums are reversed
Does anyone know what kind of guitar he is playing in this?
A falcon of some sort.
Grestch
@lanvids You have to understand that Conor's grown up. Although those albums were all classics, I guess he's grown tired of that image of the whiny emo kid we have all known and love.
isnt she the drummer for white strips?
oh and mac, no; you are completely wrong in what I was hinting towards in my first post.
I will kill myself to this song someday soon
Grow up

That guitar looks oversized slung across Oberst like that.
@lanvids 2nd place, ONLY to lets not shit ourselves, IMO
