Elliott Smith - Tramps, New York City, 4-22-1998

I recently discovered two Elliott Smith soundboard bootlegs that took place at the same New York City venue, Tramps, in the same year, 1998. They're surprising rare bootlegs because their sound quality is excellent. I'm going to post them both, because one is an acoustic performance and the other one is with a full band, plus the vast majority of songs played are different. I'll start by posting this acoustic one first.

There were no problems to speak of with this recording. I did boost the vocals of the banter between songs, but there were only a few instances of banter.

There's not much else to say. If you're familiar with acoustic Elliott Smith, this is prime stuff. I believe the only cover is a version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy." This concert took place a few months before the release of his "XO" studio album, but includes some songs from it.

This album is 52 minutes long.

I've posted a zillion album covers of someone standing on a concert stage facing an audience. I came across this picture of the backside of Smith, so I thought I'd post something different for a change. This one comes from a concert in Belgium in August 1998.
