Yeah, that is an amazing recording, I've listened to it many times. I don't think she's ever been better than in that period.

ugh no i know i am the minority but i liked her as a noisy loner not as a mannered decadent

ya don't know if i can agree with that statement but she's definitely too iconoclastic for that to become her primary aesthetic

The Bottletree gig is an awesome recording indeed, a classic in itself. I think I still have a CD-R with it burned somewhere lol.
Worth noting that fairly recently a guy on YouTube cleaned it up (getting rid of the glitches in "Emily" and "Monkey & Bear"). He also uploaded high-quality recordings of shows from every one of her tours, all with links to MP3 320 kbps downloads on Google Drive as well. Well worth checking out!

This tour was the first time I saw her perform, exact same set, and still my favorite version of her band. As soon as she started "Bridges and Balloons" it was clear that she had been working on her singing, and had added much more breath, control, and subtlety than on the original recording.
