the way he whispers 'fucking freebird' after someone requests it while he starts playing 'independence day' always cracks me up!

.. and when he introduces (well kinda) his sisters at the beginning of 'stupidity tries' ,.. it's so sweet. i'm watching this one over and over again. he looks so beautiful in that show. he even fucks up beautifully. boy .. call me crazy .. but i am so in love with that man.

it's the best recording i have on my computer. btw i could upload it if it's not on trashtreasury already. just let me know

(i mean i could upload it in mp3)

I'm in love with him too Stevie. The only problem is that I've never met him and he's dead...

clearly...that was just me trying to put humor in a shitty situation and apparently not succeeding

trouble66 · 05-09-2006, 12:56 PM

this is the concert that i wrote "has anyone ever watched his eyes" its very child like and they are moving all over, its so interesting to watch someone up close and his facial expression are very interesting...

i never saw the "fucking freebird" thing im going to check it out right now.....

hehehee very cool....

the concert was way too short but interesting....he looked so nervous......

i felt bad.....

anyway,

cool beans....

There's an interview where he talks about that (not that particular moment, but the habit of people to yell out requests for freebird). I think the exact quote was something like "there's always some jerk in the audience yelling out for freebird" or something similar. Always made me chuckle.

trouble66 · 05-09-2006, 10:17 PM

i just re-watched it fuck dude he was pissed ...it almost looked like he was going to stop the song.....ooops......he really looks like he was going to lose his cool.......but he just rolled his eyes.......yikes......

pitselehxo · 01-11-2007, 08:19 PM

this show is great, deffinatly a favorite of mine, especially because my birthday is the 18th, just funny that in 99 i had no idea that this show happend the day before my birthday, i miss elliott

6thandpowell · 01-12-2007, 01:20 AM

I volunteered at that theatre for a couple years before I lfet Olympia.

The chair that he sits in is still in the building.......I sat in it just for the hell of it.

I hate that I moved there in 2000!

TheBlackLotusFox · 01-12-2007, 10:14 PM

I've lived here all my life and didn't even know about Elliott until well after he died...

such a shame

Janne_o · 01-15-2007, 01:39 PM

btw, what's up with that Freebird?

Paul Kemp · 01-15-2007, 01:46 PM

Freebird!

Janne_o · 01-15-2007, 01:54 PM

yeah, i get that someone is always shouting freebird, but why? Is there some meaning?

okay, so it's the same thing as we have here with "play Paranoid!".

Adam981 · 01-24-2007, 07:06 AM

Whoa that guy is scary!

Who's that ? "Freebird the mantra of the moron."

This is really dark humor.

It's not available for sale; none of these recordings are.

I'd do a B+P trade, but all of my DVD's are in Ohio right now. Once I get them back, if you haven't gotten it from someone else, I'll let you know.

elliott_forver · 06-19-2007, 10:41 AM

how do you download these shows so its just one big file so we can see the stuff inbetween the songs?

Paul Kemp · 06-19-2007, 02:15 PM

I added the link to a DVD quality version of this, but I don't think it has any more content than the reduced quality.

elliott_forver · 06-20-2007, 03:00 AM

ok, thnx.....

cbm · 08-17-2007, 09:59 PM

can someone upload this as a .zip, when I download the files on bootlegs it comes out as html files.

It would be several gigs as a .zip, so probably not.

cbm · 08-17-2007, 11:35 PM

shucks, oh well i got the "low quality" version, it looks same to me though.

Anthony Cronin · 11-19-2007, 01:39 PM

Hey,

I'm thinking of buying this DVD for my girlfriend. But i've heard before that he hasn't got a good live voice. Is the DVD good?

Please give an honest opinion
