We're memes, we have dreams, get used to it or go lick an ice-cream! LOL I dunno what I'm saying really. In fact I've not been around long enough to understand the memes surrounding NMH.
I love how he just stops in the middle of Two-Headed Boy, all of a sudden... haha. He doesn't even explain himself, he just seemed to not want to play that one anymore.
After he bungled two-headed boy a little bit he seemed discouraged. Then someone recommended gardenhead and he gave the song the greatest rendition I have ever heard. Glad it brought his confidence back up :)
+Elijah Johnston This is a good musician to draw inspiration from. His music still sounds good and he draws chords and riffs from basic structures but makes them fun rhythmically. I mostly think he is awesome for his lyrics. Not only are they amazing but phonetically they sound good when sung. i.e. "your father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies". Just say it and you will know what I mean. Idk if you're still doing music but either way always practice and watch music wherever you go!
that verse, follow me through the city of frost covered angels i swear i have nothing to prove i just want to dance in your tangles to give me some reason to move it's one of the most wonderful lyrics i've ever heard
"What song should i play?" he was/is ithe man. you dont see a lot of bands casually take requests. What a gift to be able to create such music whenever you want.
Adrian Brown Fucking brilliant. So earnest and unabashed. I love his variations on "leave behind" and "gardenhead" and my god how he just belts out "Name" !! I've seen them twice the past couple years, and he has Scott Spillane hit the trumpet hard on that part. But yeah this is incredible. Glad you like it as much as I do.

Same here! I saw him live with a few friends and it was hands down my greatest live experience. The energy was amazing. You knew they were there for him, to see the elusive man. We even stood out in the freezing cold for over an hour to get his autograph. So worth it.
My favorite thing about Jeff is that musically, he doesn't try to do something different. He plays simple music, but makes up for it in his unique voice and lyrics.
Anyone else catch at about 9:39 to 9:42 how he goes "and this is the part that I didn't write any lyrics". Anywho, Jeff is amazing and a huge inspiration. Thank you for posting the video.
It's funny how people automatically point to drugs when someone like Mangum's brilliant imagination surpasses their simple minds. I don't think anyone will ever fully understand, exactly, the feeling he injected into these songs, but I can definitely see the beauty of them shining through, clear as fucking day.
This performance happened almost exactly a month before I was born. I wonder if the sound waves managed to travel north to Canada and into my developing brain, resulting in my future love of the band.
I have to say thank you for putting this video on here. And yes it was weird he just stopped like that, but oh well, he can do what ever he wants. :) I wish he would still do concerts, I would pay a lot to see him live like this. My brother had the luck to see him recently, he was at a 4 hour music festival, and Jeff came out and played engines in the crowd, and my brother has always wanted to see him play, so he got pretty luck that day.
My latest video features the holy herb 🌿 so UA-cam won't promote it. Don't miss it ua-cam.com/video/cnEiUoSVr_s/v-deo.html NCB also wants Manisha's location, how should she answer them?!?
well apparently NMH could do another album. I read it in another comment. Jeff Mangum said he wanted to when he was ready for the workload of another album. I live in CO, so if there are some reunion shows, maybe they'll play in Denver!
because he was meant to sing "put on sunday shoes" instead of "with pulleys and weighs", and it messes the whole song, because then you either finish the song earlier than normal, or you repeat the verse in the second half, I think. Sorry, 6 years later, I shouldn't have even necroe'd it but, y'know, almost all of the comments are 6 years old by now so.
"This is a song that we put on our new album"
*strums Gchord*
*applause*
"Play it again!"
Dying
The people in the audience of this show were memes
Every NMH fan is a meme
We're memes, we have dreams, get used to it or go lick an ice-cream! LOL I dunno what I'm saying really. In fact I've not been around long enough to understand the memes surrounding NMH.
That was genius. I wish the guy had the microphone so the entire audience could hear it, cause it was awesome
thats aweomese
I love the, "What song should I sing?"
"Gardenhead!"
"Okay."
WpgHotDog I know right it’s just such a thing he would do
i swear he mustve planted some guy in the audience to say that cuz the same thing happened in live at jittery joes
"my name jeff" lel
+Tommy Ticklebum top kek
+Tommy Ticklebum especially since at the 40 Watt in 1997, that audience would have pretty much just been his friends and acquaintances.
Hope you're not referencing that shitty 22 Jump Street meme.
kekekek
He was way ahead of his time
"my longest 'jesus christ' ever"
I was just gonna make this joke
Dat lung capacity tho.
CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST
He is seriously good with that.
I love how he just stops in the middle of Two-Headed Boy, all of a sudden... haha. He doesn't even explain himself, he just seemed to not want to play that one anymore.
He skipped a verse so he messed it up
The strumming in two headed Boy is so tiring and singing your heart out at the same time is pretty difficult.
After he bungled two-headed boy a little bit he seemed discouraged. Then someone recommended gardenhead and he gave the song the greatest rendition I have ever heard. Glad it brought his confidence back up :)
never fails to make my eyes teary, jeff's voice is so fucking beautiful, i kinda feel gay
nah b, you're just feeling. Jeff's voice makes my heart sing, i'm so grateful.
That may mean you’re gay
fair enough
He could probably break the world records of longest breath and note held.
Being that I'm 15 and want to be a musician.. This man is such an inspiration.
+Elijah Johnston This is a good musician to draw inspiration from. His music still sounds good and he draws chords and riffs from basic structures but makes them fun rhythmically.

Just say it and you will know what I mean. Idk if you're still doing music but either way always practice and watch music wherever you go!
whats so golden about him is he doesnt rely on technical playing to impress, just pure melodical gift
Well, are you a musician now?
Elijah Johnston You’re 19 now, how are things?
Girlie update us!
that verse,
follow me through the city of frost covered angels
i swear i have nothing to prove
i just want to dance in your tangles
to give me some reason to move
it's one of the most wonderful lyrics i've ever heard
How can you not love him when he sings the trumpet part? That was adorable.
"What song should i play?" he was/is ithe man. you dont see a lot of bands casually take requests. What a gift to be able to create such music whenever you want.
This version of gardenhead is so great

last verse gives me goosebumps, outstanding
the emotion in Jeff's singing voice TRANSCENDS and PERCOLATES the barriers of tangible reality!
This whole thread brings my soul to a tear. This music is incredible.
If I play a cover of gardenhead/leave me alone, it’s this version + the version from Jittery Joe’s

he writes so perfectly, everything flows together with absolute fluidity. i cant wait to see him on april 29th.
Was it a good show?
And he was never seen again....
You mean the 31st?
You don’t understand how lucky you are
_Leave Me Alone_ is one of the most beautiful things ever written.

i love the total agreement when he asks what song he should play instead. "gardenhead."
ma nama jeff.
9:35 is the reason i love music and live performances. so good.
Jeff's little thank you after gardenhead is so cute
This little extended ending for Gardenhead is wonderful
Jeff Mangum is one of the most beautiful and unreal yet real ive ever seen
He really is beautiful.
Jeff Mangum would kick the shit out of Chris Brown.
8 years have passed and this is still true
That is the most excellent version of Gardenhead I've ever heard.
2:00 "i'm sorry :("
My favorite thing about Jeff is that musically, he doesn't try to do something different. He plays simple music, but makes up for it in his unique voice and lyrics.
...And this is the part of the song I didn't write any lyrics..!
Miss him. Make more music, Jeff.
this is still maybe my favorite live performance vid to watch on youtube. Sooo much passion in his voice. sheeeesh
I am so incredibly glad that someone recorded this.
@9:37 "UP AND OVER WE GO THIS IS THE PART OF THE SONG I DIDN'T WRITE ANY LYRICS"
We need you now more than ever, Jeff.
Your voice rattles my soul, tears it apart, makes me whole.
ha i love how he sang the trumpet part.
Anyone else catch at about 9:39 to 9:42 how he goes "and this is the part that I didn't write any lyrics". Anywho, Jeff is amazing and a huge inspiration. Thank you for posting the video.
so good it hurts
that garden head was so fucking good
awesome, pre album performances. i love how he doesn't even have two headed boy finished :D
"up and over this is the part of the song that i didn't write any lyrics [...]" so awesome.
this is my favorite recording of gardenhead
He sounds just as good live!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, what the man can do with a few simple chords.
It's funny how people automatically point to drugs when someone like Mangum's brilliant imagination surpasses their simple minds.
I don't think anyone will ever fully understand, exactly, the feeling he injected into these songs, but I can definitely see the beauty of them shining through, clear as fucking day.
I love him and his sweaters
Golden footage!
such a shame he never did actually "come back to that one" though
Ik I'm 6 years late but this is just a snippet of a 1.5h long concert that you can find on youtube too
Thank god these tapes exist.
i am a straight man, yet i find myself falling in love with Jeff Mangum
This is awesome, thank you for posting
that whole album was the most beautifulest thing ever
god, hes so adorable.
i like it. it enforces the surreal imagery and lyrics.
His guitar is slightly out of tune in King of Carrot Flowers. I love it.
I have to see this man live
I wish i had been around to see them tour
This performance happened almost exactly a month before I was born. I wonder if the sound waves managed to travel north to Canada and into my developing brain, resulting in my future love of the band.
+writerofbaddreams yes, yes they did. Because Jeff can send his musicgasms to whomever he wishes.
Mason Clark
I figured. What a power to have, eh?
Crazy how much lung capacity he has. He also sounds really like the record on here.
Long live Jeff Mangum!

incredible performances! jeff mangum is a huge influence for me as a singer songwriter myself
Thanks so much for posting this. Jeff is incredible. What a voice.
he hit a wrong barre chord earlier and it took him out of the groove I guess

He broke a string
@@glowerworm i think he was talking about two headed boy
@@pukeii stop it
@LadySweetCherries im 15 and i also grew up listening to Neutral Milk Hotel thanks to my Dad. I'm so thankful for his incredible music taste.
god he is so awesum
I was only 3 when he did this show, but Neutral Milk Hotel is my favorite band. :)
Jeff is so attractive
He also played the third verse in place of second, but that doesn't matter enough to stop a song.
Maxim Maunz it does when the verse doesn't matches with the rythmn so you are playing the song like 1 3 2 instead of 1 2 3
thats gotta be the best gardenhead ever
JEFF MAGNUM DOES WHAT HE WANTS
this is amazing, thank you for unploading.
even with the poor quality this exceeds amazing.
Aeroplane Over the Sea... Best Album Ever
Yes you do. :) A better concert experience cannot be had.
I've spent months trying to beautify my voice like Jeff's...all in vain.
Long live the Mangum!
@TigerBait45 If you are referring to the Orange Twin stuff, it was Bulgarian field recordings of local music. Pretty interesting stuff!
thanks so much for this!! i've been looking for a video of king of carrot flowers part 1, because there really aren't many
I love the trumpet solo :D
This man is a legend
well apparently NMH could do another album. I read it in another comment. Jeff Mangum said he wanted to when he was ready for the workload of another album. I live in CO, so if there are some reunion shows, maybe they'll play in Denver!
fav vid on the internet

and i wan tto et the live thing album soon
everthing is on it is so nice =)
7:14 crazy how long he goes, massive lungs
he's so cute. He didn't even mess up!
what about when he messed up?
@yakisgewd
I like the loud vocals, different strokes for different folks i guess.
just a few days more than 16 years, he'll be right back at this venue with the rest of the guys.
Wow, Hes pretty amazing live. Thats some intense vocal talent. Why, Jeff Mangum, have you stopped making music? D:
@LadySweetCherries Shine on you crazy diamond!
i wonder why he stopped after "moon across her face"
because he was meant to sing "put on sunday shoes" instead of "with pulleys and weighs", and it messes the whole song, because then you either finish the song earlier than normal, or you repeat the verse in the second half, I think.
