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.
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

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

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

Well, here in St Louis this is exactly how he performed. Brilliant and so approachable. ❤❤Mathew
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
Thanks for posting. Really cool to see these vintage songs.

You are now my RUclips Hero forever!
Matt, Ivan, and Stuart were a good fit.
Amazing footage. Is he playing with Mr. Fujio Yamaguchi?
