My brother and I attended the high school with Elliot, though my brother was the one who really knew him. I thought i would share this recently unearthed video of him performing on a show that was shot for VH1... don't know if it ever aired. Here is the footage (43 min. and recovered from VHS, so there is some distortions to the video).



Link to the Huffpost article where I found this (link). There is more background on the performance and the unearthing of the footage.

RIP Elliott.

    Thank you for sharing this. I lived in Portland for seven years (1996-2003), and Elliott's music I lived and breathed for a long time, and was able to have a drink with him back when he was playing a show with Quasi at the (now defunct) EJ's many years ago. Great, great talent and amazing songwriter.
