i decided to go with one of the lesser obvious choices.
EDIT: well, the video i posted was available last night, but not anymore. stupid copyright infringement. less than 10 of you watched it, right? wait, silly question. anyway, let's go with the acoustic version.
1999
see if you can hear smith's under the breath response to the obligatory idiot yelling the "freebird!"
Love Elliot, though his voice is a little ragged on this version. (FWIW, the original "full band" version worked for me this morning around 8-ish. And I thought the band rushed it a bit on the original clip.) Still, it was Elliot Smith. Well done, sir. Well done.
*another sort of appropriate ES number for today:
Bottle Up and Explode
