~ Release by Neutral Milk Hotel (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Earliest known live Neutral Milk Hotel recording. Great acoustic set by Jeff, with a few rarely played songs, including the only known live version of "My Dreamgirl Don't Exist". This bootleg is very common, and mp3s of it can easily be found online. Most mp3 versions cut out some between-song chatter, however, such as when Jeff mentions that the first song is actually two songs: one called "Oh Comely" and another called "Goldaline".
The unknown song ("swimming in your speakers") seems to be a sister song to "Snow Song Pt. 1".. maybe it's "Snow Song Pt. 2"?
