Elliott Smith - St Ide's Heaven - Live @ Newbury Comics

A live performance of Elliott Smith playing St. Ide's Heaven.
- This isn't a "new video version" of this presentation. The original one is too dark. I've just decided to give more "life color" over these videos then, I took the chance to finally upload these items here.

- And unfornatelly, it wasn't me who made this footage. But I am really grateful for who made it, for sure!!!

I'm so grateful for the guy who suggested St Ides's Heaven

[JunkBondTrader]

lol when the guy suggests St. Ide's Elliott instantly jumped into it, like "yep that's the one".

High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking

RIP - E.S.
He is probably the greatest musician that I can think of, he was special.

me and my ex went here while we were mucking about in Boston, simply because Elliott played here.
we both bought vinyls of his.

This song is fucking unbelievable all around.. and this particular live version is just perfect. God he's good!

If you were the one who recorded this video, thank you so much. This is probably one of my favorite elliott smith songs. Your so lucky to have been there.

[struanmillar]

This song makes me feel a certain kind of way I can’t describe

[cabwaylingo_]

i love that this footage exists. seeing elliott just fucking around and taking suggestions from fans is lovely

[Missjunebugfreak]

I love how he immediately launched into the song without any hesitation. Elliott is a gem.

[Messihaz]

I just fucking love this man so much, man

Elliott Smith in a comic book store? I would have bear-hugged him like a crazed Morrissey fan. After he finished this beautiful rendition of St. Ide's Heaven, of course. Better than the original, I think.

So cool to see old videos like this still up! Newbury Comics is such a great place!

[sarveshphoenix]

what i would give to see him play live 😕😕

[jollesracing]

I love how he bends down to pick up his pick at the end. Must have lost it during the end of the chorus lol

[claralinnea]

I can say after a little incident today: this song is so good I feel of my bike

[bipedalprimate]

He's the only artist I can look past the singing ability because he's just that good. His guitar abilities and melodies and lyrics are enough for me. But his voice is very sincere and chill

[LtGregoryStevens]

Hes like the only musician whos live songs are just as good as studio versions

[incessantmurkysmuggler]

Does anyone know the exact location this was made. Boston is near me but there’s tons of Newbury Comics there

[beefcakepantiehoes]

Just an incredible fucking songwriter. He was too good a musician to stay alive I guess. Hendrix. Lennon. Cobain. And Elliott. What a shame.

Love you Elliott I always cover your songs when I play live
