To coincide with the recent reissue of Neutral Milk Hotel’s essential albums On Avery Island and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea on vinyl, Merge Records has posted to YouTube a couple videos of the band playing at the Knitting Factory in 1998. The videos, of tracks “Two Headed Boy” and “April 8″ are pretty good quality, and it’s always good to have footage of the ever reclusive Jeff Mangum. Check out the videos below, as well as a clip of Mangum playing “Engine” during last year’s E6 Holiday Surprise Tour, captured by your friends here at Tangled Up In Wires.
