Fucking legend

To only have had the chance to be there...The man has to be the most talented one to ever live

My old band opened this show, which to this day is one of the coolest shows I've played. It was one of the best times I saw Jason Molina. Got to hang out with him a little while before the show itself and he was a really genuinely nice, if somewhat shy and awkward guy.

I was actually in the band that played before The Strugglers. We got added late as a local draw and weren't on a lot of the promotional material.

I played bass in the strugglers for this show. Really great night! We hung out with Jason after and it was really nice

This show is not on the archive and really should be. If your recording is listenable you should upload it there- Secretly Canadian has given full permission to upload but prefers lossless recordings. I'd love if Josh Van Horne would put this gem of a show up from the uncompressed cam audio. There are only 69 live recordings up there from a man who played so many shows and won't be playing anymore. It would be a shame to lose all that music and only the tapers can keep it alive. The dark sounding parts of this show are spine tinglingly moving. Didn't it rain , didn't it rain.....

Hey, the video is all I had and it's a miracle that it survived 10 years and many different hard drive transfers/computer crashes. Wish I had uncompressed audio, but this 240p video is as good as I can offer. Cheers.

I would do anything to have been in this room.

Cool to see them in this transition period, presumably before Jason Groth and the rest of the crew joined.

Just recently discovered him. My oh my. Astonishing.

I only recently discovered Jason Molina's music and I will never be the same. His music touches a special place in my soul.

Perfect set. This is the good stuff. Ring the Bell to Don't This Look Like the Dark. Can't believe he didn't make it. Can't believe he didn't become the biggest act and sell out stadiums. Nobody comes close.

OH MY GAWD! My friend and I saw this show. I taped the audio with my Sony walkman. The sound isn't bad. I never thought anyone had video. The show originally had been set for the nearby Twisters club (maybe it was called the 929 Cafe by then) and my friend and I ran into Molina outside the venue just as he was packing stuff back in his car and he let us know that for some reason the show had been moved to the VCU Commons. Our loss has left me gutted but this lifts my spirits. Thanks so much.

I miss him

His name is Mike SLO MO Brenner. And it’s a lap steel. And yeah, he’s that good

Genius. The cutting irony of playing at a University of smart people (debt slaves), and saying that he'll donate 10% of his sales that night to the university... to dead silence.. says it all to me.

I miss you so much

I was there for this. Thank you so much for posting. I've been on such a Jason Molina trip (again) recently. My heart.

This is the first time I have been happy listening to Jason since he died. Thank you so much.

this is fucking beautiful. such gorgeous songs in such a short time here. too bad he never got help for his disease. you are missed Jason r.i.p.

Dunno if I would have ever come across "Nashville Moon" (the first song) if it weren't for this posting. Wow, what a powerful song!

For some reason sad music is more real. Consoling somehow. What feeling in that voice.

chills, simply the best, miss him immensely

Brilliant....and sad.

Jason - you are shining. Forever beautiful.

Thanks for uploading. Jason's songs are an inspiration and a medicine to many people.

Makes me wonder how many students in that audience, wish now, they had been able to feel the vibe of that great performance. Didn't know what they had right there with them.

Haha. I wish. I was so moved by great music in my teens and 20s and I got the message behind the song. We shouldn't underestimate a listeners abilities == if it's good. and this is.

RIP Jason ....

Wow, this is real beautifull. Thanks for uploading.

this is great! never seen video of Songs: Ohia as this kind of trio - Brenner's slide playing is ridiculously good. thanks for uploading.

It's an interesting line up for sure. I once saw MECo. as a 3 piece, with Pete on Drums & Michael Kapinus on keyboard/trumpet, that was kind of cool to see something different.

this video was posted to KZread two days after Jason's death. we are now two days from Jason being gone 10 years.

Thanks Jason.

Josh, thanks so much for posting this! I too was there. It blew me away. But to be able to watch it again, unbelievable. Truly, truly amazing.

thanks for sharing. beautiful. North star is immense. I'm off to watch Pete schreiners heartbreaking cover

Yeah, thanks for uploading this obscure footage....really really special!

I hope Alejandro Escovedo lands on this video some day. I feel like he'd definitely appreciate it. R.I.P. Jason. We're still wearing grooves in your albums buddy.

I was attending VCU at the time...wish i had decided to go to this.

This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for uploading.

thank you. it is simply beautiful.

wish I was there!

If you disliked this, I hope your toes start itching and it never ends until your cold, black heart dies.

This is so fucking goood

I can sure relate to his intro.

eternal

You always said that I'd make it out... somehow darlin, I knew I never would

thank you.

unreal. Thanks for sharing this!

It was called Nanci Raygun by this point, because right before the last song Jason says for everyone to join him after the show for a party at Nanci Raygun. Apparently VCU wanted 10% of the money they got for merch, and Jason said fuck that.

thank you for this josh van horne

Found this through Band Of Horses tribute to Jason. Hope others continue to find his music.

I know it's been 7 years... but you can find websites that will download youtube videos, search "download youtube" or something in google, think you can do just audio too.

Is your audio better than the video's (which is pretty good)? Can you sort it out out with Josh Vh? Jason is precious. He should be heard with the best fidelity.

You song writing capabilities are awesome, but the live performance is lacking personnel connection with the masses. You speak to a very small but comfortable market. But there is diffidently talent there and heart.
