    Alameda/Ballad of Big Nothing - Beck
    originally by Elliott Smith

    A few days after Elliott’s death, musicians and friends gathered together at the Henry Fonda Theater to play his music and pay tribute to him.

    For six years, there has only been audio from this show, but today some kind and wonderful soul uploaded this video of Beck’s brief set to YouTube.

    Elliott,

    I love you man, and rest in peace and all that, but I gotta tell you:
