Elliott Smith - Waterloo Sunset (Ray Davies cover)
Tonight at IFFBoston, I’m seeing “Searching for Elliott Smith”, a documentary about one of my generation’s great songwriters, and one of my personal favorites. Here’s a recording of Elliott covering “Waterloo Sunset” by The Kinks, featuring a classic Elliott moment. This was recorded at one of my all-time favorite concerts, Lou Barlow’s going away show at Green Street Grille in 1998. Lou Barlow was my introduction to indie rock, so it was a pretty bittersweet night for me. You can download all the songs from the show here, courtesy of the Internet Archive.
