Jeff Mangum - Engine - Live at Jittery Joe's

A clip from New Years Eve 1998 which is pretty crappy like most live footage of Magnum either with his outfit Neutral Milk Hotel or solo. Out of many of his clips available on Youtube I chose this one because it portrays Magnum's flat tonal voice, conveying true emotion, as compared to other options, which were halfhearted at best, in terms of performance of otherwise brilliant songs. Give him about a minute to demean the song before he starts playing. And please listen all the way through it is truly beautiful. It's a short one.
