Elliott Smith

In July 1999, Elliott Smith delivered a remarkable performance at the Capitol Theater during the Yo Yo A Go Go Festival, showcasing his profound lyricism and melodic style. At this time, he had just released his acclaimed album 'Either/Or' in 1997, which catapulted him into the indie music spotlight. The album features iconic tracks like 'Angeles' and 'Speed Trials,' both of which are included in this live set. Interestingly, 'Either/Or' was a turning point for Smith, drawing attention from major labels and the mainstream press, establishing him as a significant voice in alternative rock. This festival performance is a snapshot of that transformative era in his career, featuring raw emotion and vulnerability that resonated deeply with fans and critics alike.
