They do a few more. "Happiness", "angeles", and a cpl more I cant remember

Elliott Smith was extremely important to me in my formative years as I dealt with a lot of trauma and learned to understand and cope with my mental health issues. I'm also happy to see the world hasn't forgotten about him. I hope they never do.

Same. When I put the most precious thing I’ve ever had into the ground I said “I’m never gonna know you now but I’m gonna love you anyhow.” When I started writing music i made goals of Austin City Limits, Grand ‘Ole Opry, and this rlly cool Cave venue in Tennessee. Only then will I play this song and it’ll be the first one I do. Shit always puts a knot in my throat.

Anyone who appreciates Elliott’s music is a good person I think. I like this guy, superb cover.

@@krusher181 Well who can say what's part of the act? his later stuff is actually way less "sad sack". And apparently he was doing much better in terms of his substance problems at the time he died. Mind you, he died of a stab wound to the chest with no hesitation wounds which is very strange for a suicide. The case is actually still open technically I believe

The Live From Here covers of Elliott Smith are such a remarkable act of love as expressed through music. This is how we should respond to suicide: not with silence, not forgetting, not with euphemism or a glossy version of the person who is gone, nor a picture that is overly morbid; not with fake pity, or overreaching empathy, but with real love and admiration for what was expressed while they were with us, in all its complexity, ambiguity, and unreachable otherness; all its pain and all its beauty. Elliott Smith's music and his life was a gift to listeners, to musicians and songwriters. He was one of our best. And I appreciate very much how these covers recall that.

Can’t listen to this song without crying. Thanks for such a moving rendition. RIP dear Elliot

To quote Ben Folds, "The songs you wrote got me through a lot". I wasn't aware of Elliott Smith's music until long after his passing, but his work has certainly helped me through some dark times.

This isn’t about displays of virtuosity, it’s about understanding, appreciating and interpreting one of the greatest musical stories of our lifetime. Well done everyone

First time I ever understood that this song was about his mom and step-dad. And it has been said that his suicide was in part a cloaked message to him. It's amazing how long we can carry trauma.

Slowly, surely, Elliott Smith's catalogue is going to seep into the global music lexicon, and the world will see that they missed the greatest songwriter of his generation while he was alive.

performed with such reverence... simply wonderful

How do you all keep finding new ways of convincing everyone how cool this show is

Goosebumps around the "xo mom" lyric , the music quietens down to compliment the sheer heartache 💔

So perfect from every angle. They pay tribute to all the subtle elements of the original song while still adding the solos and all so tastefully. Loved the violin playing the sliding string parts in the end. What a moving & incredible performance.

Chris Thile covering Elliott Smith. FAN. FOR. LIFE

I never saw Elliott perform. Though part of me thinks if he had his way, few would have gotten to. Like countless artists, music lovers, conflicted youth, tired adults, and everyone in between... his songs get me through the best and worst times. Thank you for continuing his legacy and sharing his work with the world.

I think whatever demon's Elliott struggled with, he knew himself quite well. After all, he graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts with a degree in philosophy and political science in 1991. Who studies philosophy? I wish I had. Looks like he enjoyed some of his success but he did say "I'm not the kind of person to be really famous". He knew he wouldn't be able to handle the toxicity. That the media attempt to portray him as "sad-sack" (not my word) druggie when in fact, he was neither for what seems like a large part of his life just shows how lazy they are. His music is hauntingly beautiful. I hope more people discover Elliot for the beautiful human being that he was.

Always love a surprise Elliott Smith song. This band nails everything each time.

This might be the sickest cover I've ever heard

Yep he was channeling some rare shakiness in his voice in the first bits of this awesome respective. Love it!

I just bought a Mandolin and randomly come across this piece of perfection.

it makes me cry. Unforgettable Elliott.

Chris Thile always picked his songs for this show in such a reverent way. A true artist respecting other artists and paying tribute as such. What a cool dude.

Aoife is awesome too. Chris giving a nod to Elliott makes perfect sense. Elliot influenced a ton of people. Great songs.

Here today, and expected to stay - on and on and on...

wow! devastatingly beautiful and haunting... have to listen a few more times... to dive deeper.... thank you I LOVE wanting to dive deeper.

Elliot Smith never wrote a bad song. This is very soothing. I wish the guy still was with us. The music is amazing. Brings tears.

Chris Thile reviving a classic Elliott Smith song, and he does it great justice!

Another great cover. Always impressed by the band's ability to cover such a diverse range of songs and to capture the feeling of each. This is a tough song to play live! What a beautiful song it is.

Man, do I ever miss this show.

There are 8 people in the world that need a hug. How can you downvote this??

I listened to the encore performance tonight and it broke me a little. We love you and miss you, Elliott.

One of the greatest songwriters ever played by one of the greatest musicians ever.

I can't believe this!!!!!!! This is so amazing! I love Elliott Smith and I really like how Chris plays the mandoline. I discovered him when I listen to his interpretation of Partitas from Bach 👌🏿

been a fan of you since early 2000's chris thile, play mandolin because of you and elliott smith is one of my favorites... this is a dream come true!!!

Achingly beautiful.

It's a wonderful interpretation, a real homage to one of the greatest artists. Thank you for doing this.

So thankful to find out I can still be moved to tears by music.

For those of us who never knew you Elliott, we still love you

Sometimes the most tormented souls leave us the greatest musical gifts. Elliot, Chris Cornell. Thank you and sorry.

I heard this on the radio today, and had to pull over. Beautiful work by you and the band Mr. Thile. Thank you.

Beautiful! I Love Ellioth Smith! Greatings from Brazil! Brasil 🇧🇷

Chris I've been following you for nearly 20 years, this may be my favorite vocal performance of yours.

A wonderful song by Elliott and a very beautiful cover. Well done.

Chris, I have been listening to you for 19 years....you never cease to amaze me. Bravo my friend, thank you for sharing your talents with the world!

Such a sad clever beautiful song and a beautiful cover, and superb playing from this band. Elliott Smith carried the torch of the Beatles - big call I know.

This is one of the best covers I've heard
