Elliott Smith Live Performance of In the Lost and Found

Venue: Southgate House Location: Newport, Kentucky, United States Date: November 2, 2000

In the live recording 'Elliott Smith - In the Lost and Found,' captured on November 2, 2000, at Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky, Elliott Smith was in a pivotal moment of his career. Just before this performance, he had released his self-titled album in 1995 and followed it up with 'Figure 8' in 2000. The latter showcased a more expansive sound, moving away from his earlier lo-fi aesthetic. This was also a period when Smith was starting to gain more mainstream recognition, particularly after his song 'Miss Misery' was featured in the film 'Good Will Hunting.' Often noted for his poignant lyrics and emotive voice, Smith's performances during this time exuded a raw authenticity, drawing fans into his world of introspection and melancholy. This recording encapsulates that intimate connection he forged with his audience, reflecting both his vulnerability and artistic evolution.
