Notes

quite possibly the best sounding elliott show out there. an absolutely amazing performance and a must have.

many, many, many thanks go to pickacloud over at dimeadozen for originally seeding this and letting me transfer it to the archive... here's what pickacloud had to say about it:

this is possibly the best thing ever.

not sure where I got it anymore,

made flacs from wavs on the ol' harddrive

I think I scored this from the lost and found at the hostel I was living at a few years back.

I'm not joking!

it's FM quality, people,
and elliott is clear and ON IT.

enjoy, my friends!

Subject: not lossless

This has passed through some form of loosy compression (maybe minidisc source). It also has a 18900 Hz buzz (inaudible by most of us). Dynamic Range isn't very good but not very bad either (DR9).
Overall sound is good.

Subject: Great Elliott Smith concert

The sound quality is excellent.
His guitar playing and vocals are great.
Elliott's skills on the guitar are brilliant and this concert shows him at his best.

Subject: Great show!!

Pictures of me....Wow!!! Great performance from Elliott. Such a wonderful recording.... Thank you for uploading.... And of course thank you ES

Subject: Quality of recording that matches quality of Performance.

WOW, Elliott was ON in this show. To hear him like this and then to hear a performance from 2003 is absolutely heartbreaking and a night and day difference. This show he is ON and as good as he sounds on his studio albums! I'm astounded!!! Elliott is absolutely AMAZING in this show.

Subject: Great show, but a small question about the pitch

Thanks for sharing this great show, I think this is as fantastic as the one at Black Cat.

Apparently the pitch during the entire show is half step lower than Black cat or his original album version, does this mean he dropped the key only for that night due to his condition or just because of the tape speed? Just curious..

Subject: Nothing to add--just great

Just to respond to the reviewer below: I think there are so *many* great Elliott performances of lesser sound quality that everyone reviewing is just ecstatic to find great sound & a great performance *together*! This is arguably among the two best '98 acoustic Elliott Smith concerts I know of. (The Black Cat in April is my personal favorite--also here on the archive.)

i don't get why everyone on here is so obsessed with the quality of the recording. listen to him sing. that should be the real obsession. he is flawless in this show.

Subject: Amazing sound quality! Five stars!

Amazing sound quality! Five stars! This is the 1st download since discovering this site yesterday (researching films on TCM's Underground last nite). Already burned it to disc and in the process of Ipod-ing it. Excellent sound recording, probably a line out from the board mixed with a live pzm/audience mic, too. Great show, wish I woulda been there.
