Wow, you're so lucky! I wish I had gotten to see him live. Elliott's music has made me feel a lot better this past year. I feel bad I hadn't gotten into his music much earlier. He was a beautiful performer.
The silence of love as the chords started for Pitseleh are so overwhelming you can feel the emotion. He was loved, if only it had helped. You were lucky to see him.
It's a bit of a shame the last note is cut off. But oh well. This is the cleanest Elliott's ever played at a live show, and it's really beautiful. Not that his other performances aren't, but this one especially.
I love this song so much. I just got out of a hard relationship. I can relate so much to the lyrics "I could never be the puzzle pieces", and "They say that god makes problems, just to see what you can stand, before you do as the devil pleases, give up that thing you love, but no one deserves it" I love Elliott. May he RIP.
i made a mix cd for a guy at work. it had a lot of elliott smith on it. the guy said all the music was really depressing and said no wonder youre depressed all the time. i hate closed minded people like that. whatever, i hope he continues listening to good charlotte.
I was at this show also.. I remember thinking wow he playing all those guitar parts at once and his voice is angelic. I saw him many times. This was special
for all the mess ups and him saying he was loosing his voice, this may be one of my favorite live song ever performed by elliott!!! his voice sounds so beautiful
The community of Elliot smith fans makes me feel a connection that words can hardy describe. I come to his music sometimes at my lowest points in life, and seeing how many people do the same is a stark reminder that I’m not as alone in this world as I’d like to think. Thank you for your music Elliot and thank you to all the people who take the time to read this.
@@LynnSanders-g9u Thank you for reminding me of this melodramatic RUclips comment! 15 years ago is almost half my life, so I find it find it funny and a little endearing. Never too late indeed.
@@TrevorCrown Of course! Thank you for responding to my response! 😅 And you'r right, it is a funny thing, perspective paired with time...I think it's wonderful you can see the endearing twist of that! Something I personally find really funny, is in a song I loved two years ago: 'Dying Is A Beautiful Thing To Do'-which is not nearly as sad as the title suggests...is that the opening line mentions how she likes Elliott Smith, and I remember always wondering 'who is that?' but never looked it up. Then of course, I find his Music about five days ago and it finally clicks that I've heard that name before! But I was meant to find him now. 🫀
goddamn it’s so scary how quiet people got. I guess it should make someone feel less alone, but it makes me think other people feel like me and that sucks. I would have done a lot to see him though even if it’d be scary.
@roark0806 it makes me wonder how many of us discovered Elliott so much later and now watch his ghost wondering what it would have been like to have been there.
I had a dream that Elliott sang at a house party I threw, so in that case you would have to say that his soul lives on....let go of all religions and preconceptions...this mans "soul" will drift forever
wow that was one rude crowd at the beginning. At least they had the opportunity to see him, who cares what he fucking plays. Just let him play a damn song and be happy with it. ^Sorry, done the rant. Great vid and song by the way!
@@arielyaari2508 honestly I didn't understand what u were saying, but I appreciate the universal language of music when it speaks to the soul. I dig Peter Fox who sings in German and I'm not sure what he's saying but I know that I like it 😄
Elliott was super depressed. But people make the best music when they are feeling something, if he was making bullshit songs that didn't make people feel anything he would be forgotten already like 99 percent of the bands from the past decades. Elliott kicks ass!

I was at this show. The thing I remember, above everything else, was how intricate his guitar playing was, and how completely the audience adored him.
Wow, you're so lucky! I wish I had gotten to see him live. Elliott's music has made me feel a lot better this past year. I feel bad I hadn't gotten into his music much earlier.
He was a beautiful performer.
@@TheDreamingJune 👍
Wow what an experience that must have been!!!! I wld have loved to be there

i wish I could have been alive when hee was.
tattooed "pitseleh" on my wrist yesterday. I love you elliott - as long as I am alive, you will be remembered. xo
Still love him?
@@khairulridzuan6286 she probably does. he's not alive to get cancelled for anything - not that he would if he were
@@will6176 Yeah you absolutely right.
His best tune don't care wut any fans say
Elliott himself finds this song rather plain and boring. I love it but just sayin
Elliott you have helped me through so many times
do you still listen?
me too
I just want to give him a hug
same I wish he was still here everyday he doesn't feel gone
It's a bit of a shame the last note is cut off. But oh well.
This is the cleanest Elliott's ever played at a live show, and it's really beautiful. Not that his other performances aren't, but this one especially.
i just cried... i miss him and all he did for music.... people will never understand.. some people were just meant to do something and then go........
I still can't stop listening to Elliott
do you still listen?

Pitseleh makes your heart break and your soul hope to find that kind of love again. A real legend.
Can't help but enjoy his reactions/conversations/attitude towards the crowd.
Even through the 2007 youtube compression this song is still amazing.
Love hearing the piano solo played on the guitar
he played pisteleh perfectly!!
it was destined to be the encore IMO!!
MISS U ELLIOTT!! XO
Such a warm song manages to make me feel cold inside every time I hear it.
They say that god makes problems just to see whay you can stand, before you do as the devil pleases.
I love that line.
for all the mess ups and him saying he was loosing his voice, this may be one of my favorite live song ever performed by elliott!!! his voice sounds so beautiful

sweet jesus he was a sad sad man.
I don't think anyone (including the blues artists) has ever expressed themselves as eloquently. I nearly cried.
Underrated guitarist!
Love you, Elliott.
I'm really glad he picked Pitseleh over Miss Misery
heartbreaking to watch and endlessly beautiful.
"MISS MISERY PLEASE!!!" hahahah
My favorite song
He is so amazing. 🥀
Such a great track. Makes me sad but feels nice to be sad at the same time. Fills me with wistful melancholy.
SUCH A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The emotion here is intense
Damn. And to think that I'm only just discovering him now.
:(
do you still like him trevor?
@check 1-2 1-2-3 I'd like to think so as well
I found him three days ago lol, it's never too late :)

Beautiful.
I love this song, very hard to decide what's my favorite song from him.
Perfect voice, perfect song ♥
the audience annoyed me at the start, elliott smith was a genius! thanks for all these vids!
They're pretty demanding
I love his voice
2000, i have the entire concert on my comp
A hero ! real Musik..Makes me cry..Love him
That in my top ten fave elliott song quotes
haha i love how he messes up "everything means nothing to me"
goddamn it’s so scary how quiet people got. I guess it should make someone feel less alone, but it makes me think other people feel like me and that sucks. I would have done a lot to see him though even if it’d be scary.
The audience keeps hollering around 2:10 and when he starts strumming round 2:15;
silence.
=)
genericsavings so true! Seems like the crowd respected him deeply, mostly.
The brightest lights burn out the quickest.
it must have been cool for Elliot to play here being a Bob Dylan fan cuz i think this is where Dylan had his first public show.
perfect lyrics, love them a lot

i fucking LOVE pitseleh. my fav song by him. soo good! :) :)
I really like how everyone claps and cheers for him when he coughs. Idk why he thought he wasnt loved
finally done uploading, enjoy all of the vids :)
be glad you found him now! :)
no one will ever know why elliott thought everyone didnt like him and why he was the way he was. it was going on inside his own head.
Gone too soon, dear Elliot
wow that was one rude crowd at the beginning. At least they had the opportunity to see him, who cares what he fucking plays.
Just let him play a damn song and be happy with it.
^Sorry, done the rant. Great vid and song by the way!
G
oosebumps...
The appropriate Son of Sam opener for the New Yorkers ...nice
fuck, his voice is beautiful. if i had my way, he would sing me to sleep every night. well, i guess he kind of does...
yes
This life is a myth
all I do is drive around listening to Elliot Smith
Exactly what I do the last few weeks.. I'm in a relationship with a dead person which I never saw alive.
@@arielyaari2508 I watched a couple of your videos, great playing and great singing!
@@stevenfoster1569 Oh, thanks! You liked the Hebrew Language?
@@arielyaari2508 honestly I didn't understand what u were saying, but I appreciate the universal language of music when it speaks to the soul. I dig Peter Fox who sings in German and I'm not sure what he's saying but I know that I like it 😄
Elliott was super depressed. But people make the best music when they are feeling something, if he was making bullshit songs that didn't make people feel anything he would be forgotten already like 99 percent of the bands from the past decades. Elliott kicks ass!
i dont think he wanted to play miss misery........ this performance of pitseleh is fucking amazing
What the fuck is the audience yelling in the beginning?
Just - is that the best chair they could get him?
eveyone loves pitseleh aka little one!!!
hahahah
"Miss Misery! Pleeeease!!"
this song is sad because I gave up the thing I love :'(
SWEET ADELINE!!
haha me too. and then everyone cheers and he responds, "you like that one?"
A video with no dislike!!! Yeah!!! :)
he wassa frickin god
My god.
song starts 2:25, so mellow
@onlyeyesabove i think your right. saddest one ive heard
Is there anyway you can up that whole set?
That setlist is amazing.
@wheelerlatenite "little one" wouldve been fine :P
I truly believe when Elliot died his soul receded from his body and proceeded into my being I can’t describe the connection
Lol why does it look like he’s at a high school talent show?
Jesus, listen to the crowd :O
the audience sond so aggressive!
I mean what is he saying in the very beginning? :)
What is he saying?
What now?
what's "pitseleh"?
Its jiddish, and yes, little girl
He's 18 in this?
No. He was probably around 31. This is apart of a full concert. Highly recommend u try n find it its a treat
@@KevinSting do you know how I can find it my friend? ❤
