Elliott Smith Live Performance of Happiness/The Gondola Man at Maxwell's
In June 2003, Elliott Smith performed live at Maxwell's in Hoboken, an intimate setting that perfectly matched his introspective style. This concert came on the heels of his critically acclaimed album, 'Figure 8,' released in 2000, which showcased his growing artistry and sophisticated arrangements. By this time, Smith was gaining significant traction in the indie music scene, and his emotional depth resonated with many fans. Interestingly, 'Figure 8' was the last album he recorded with a major label, highlighting a pivotal moment in his career as he navigated both personal struggles and the pressures of fame. The setlist for this performance reflects Smith's knack for poignant storytelling, with tracks like 'Happiness' and 'Let's Get Lost' shining a light on his unique ability to capture complex emotions in simple melodies.
