This is the second in a series of recordings I am helping circulate. Most are previously uncirculated. Here is Elliott Smith with band, on tour to promote Figure 8. A great sounding recording.

I found the setlist info on the official ES web site, where it says there is a boot of this show circulating. I don’t know offhand if this is the same one, or different. If it is a different recording than this, I would like to get hold of it, so the two recordings could be matrixed together.

To my way of thinking, this was Elliott at the height of his powers.
