Elliott Smith

In this live recording from October 21, 2000, Elliott Smith delivered an intimate performance at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, a venue known for its incredible acoustics and rich history. At this point in his career, Smith had just released his self-titled album, 'Elliott Smith,' the previous year, marking a pivotal moment in his evolution as a solo artist. The songs performed, including 'Needle in the Hay' and 'Waltz #2 (XO),' showcase his signature blend of poignant lyricism and haunting melodies. It's interesting to note that by this time, Smith was gaining significant recognition, particularly after his song 'Miss Misery' was featured in the film Good Will Hunting. This concert embodies the essence of his artistry during a transformative period, where raw emotion mingled with the promising hope of wider acclaim.
