Elliott Smith - The Steamboat, Austin, TX, 5-3-2003

I was listening to some Elliott Smith music yesterday, and I noticed that I'd never posted this concert from him. So I want to fix that ASAP, since it's an excellent concert. It's the best concert I've heard from 2003, the last year of his life. (He died on October 21, 2003, at the age of 34.) This is a solo acoustic concert.

What makes this concert recording stand out is the sound quality. It's an excellent soundboard bootleg. He was in good form, which wasn't always the case in 2003. He hadn't toured much since 2000, and he was playing a lot of new songs, some of which would end up on his 2004 album, "From a Basement on the Hill." It also ends with a nice cover of "Blackbird" by the Beatles. 

By the way, I've noticed there's a video of this entire concert on YouTube. This isn't sourced from that, though. The video quality isn't that good, but I thought I'd mention it for people who might want to watch it. 

This album is an hour and three minutes long.
