Independence Day with Elliott Smith

. . . and sixteen other songs. On the 4th of July in 2000, Elliott Smith performed this superb quality set at the Embryo Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. Not your standard BBQ / beer / fireworks soundtrack for today -- but better.

ZIP: ELLIOTT 4TH OF JULY

I'm off to a neighborhood party, then to one of the ten million fireworks displays. Fourth of July would be a fun day to hike Pikes Peak, then see all the fireworks below. Maybe next year.
