This recording is Jeff Mangum at his rawest (you can hear a little kid whining, people talking and laughing and rJeff trying to get someone to get him a glass of water). Playing a lot of songs which would later be ron his NMH masterpiece "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" along with some earlier songs and a cover, this is a rgem of a live recording. Anyone who likes NMH or just great folk music should check this out no matter what, rand try and track down the video of the performance as well.

Just how I've always imagined the divine being that is Jeff Mangum would sound live. Just as good... hell, even better than he does on 'In
an Aeroplane'. Packed chock-full of emotion and beauty, nary missing a beat. Beautiful in every sense of the word. Jeff Mangum, you are
now officially on my "I'm Completely Gay for You" list. 4.4/5

Released a year before Mangum's masterpiece In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Live at Jittery Joe's shows Jeff Mangum at his most lovable, and that's saying something. His inimitable voice carries naively on his studio records, with a child-like simplicity so innocent, that many times I've just wanted to hunt him down and hug him (no homo, naturally). Live, Jeff performs with even more cuddly initmacy, nervously noodling on his guitar, stuttering through personal stories between songs, and asking for requests. Despite his apparent lack of confidence in his work, Live At Jittery Joe's is a killer performance from Mangum, flipping between past, present, and future Neutral Milk Hotel tracks (and a bitchin' Phil Spector cover) seamlessly, en route to a disc essential for anyone enamored with the legendary indie-folk icon.
