This film was uploaded to the original elliottsmith.net website years ago and seemed to be lost forever as that website no longer exists. However, YouTube user OKEYETHIN uploaded the film in four parts! Unfortunately, it seems that we are missing 6 or so minutes from the original 41-minute file posted to the website, but the bulk of the film has been found.

Special thanks to BabyBritain for sharing the film split into four parts and Lyn for making me aware of this film!

FYI, we are still on the hunt for the other two lost videos on that site, those being "capitol studios - aug 1999" episodes 2 and 3 (https://web.archive.org/web/200106111.... Episode 1 has been uploaded to YouTube for some time under the title "Elliott Smith in the Studio". If anyone has info about these, please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks!
