Sufjan Stevens 2010 tour

[woogie846]

Even though so much of the new material is very energetic, it's not the type of show that is appropriate to be standing up and dancing. What's happening in front of you is way too captivating to be exerting energy in any way other than complete concentration and focus.

Absolutely. I was also really impressed with how silent everyone was during the quieter parts.

I've come to the conclusion that John Wayne Gacy Jr is one of the most moving songs I've ever heard.

[cormaic]

That was just absolutely fantastic

[ThomThom]

Fantastic show tonight, Jacksonville was an interesting choice for a closer.

[bmack86]

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dammit! Jacksonville is the song I would have preferred over Chicago.

Pretty fucking grandiose as a closer, definitely had everybody on their feet.

[cormaic]

Wasn't expecting Sevens Swans to be so explosive, that was a fantastic song to start the show off with. Definitely one of the better concerts this year.

[Ride a Tire!]

Glad he did Owl and the Tanager on Sunday. Along with everything else, of course. Great show. 2nd only to Arcade Fire, as far as shows this year are concerned.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

OK got my tickets for tonight's show. Will be my 1st time at the Paramount. Hopefully the show is as good as everyone says.

[bmack86]

It's better.

[xanman86]

Can't wait for tonight!!! :-)

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Pretty nice footage of 9 minutes of "Impossible Soul" from Saturday's Wiltern show has popped up. The sound isn't great, but the video is pretty terrific!

[TallGuyCM]

Take it down, Drinkey. Why ruin it for people who haven't seen the show yet?

[bmack86]

They shouldn't watch it.

HEY! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS SHOW AND ARE GOING TO , DON'T WATCH THAT VIDEO!

[MissingPerson]

Or they could just... not watch it?

EDIT: What he said.

[TallGuyCM]

Alright, alright.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Uh yeah, it's meant more for people who have seen the show, or those who can't go to any of the shows, or people that are really, really curious. It's not hard to not spoil things for yourself if you don't want to.

[ThomThom]

Hahaha, you guys are so cute.

[Boourns]

Sufjan's father is Darth Vader!

[thestripe]

Wow. I wish I was going to get to see him this time around.

[CoachellaBlood]

Which albums are available at the merch table? On vinyl?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I didn't actually go up and look but there seemed to be quite a bit of vinyl. The guy sitting next to me bought a copy of Michigan.

[MuseRadio]

Last night was awesome. Everyone got up and started dancing during Impossible Soul which was really cool. Bummed I didnt get to hear John Wayne Gacy but Jacksonville was a great closer.

ON a side note the t-shirts were awful. They look like the printed ones that those dudes always sell outside venues for like $5

[CoachellaBlood]

I want Seven Swans. Did they have that for sale?

[MuseRadio]

yes they did,

[Rats!]

Anyone have a video of Jacksonville?

[algunz]

Just out of curiosity . . .

I had a chance for tickets to the Saturday show, but I couldn't get a babysitter. Would this have been an appropriate show for a 5 year old?

[TallGuyCM]

I don't see why not.

I can't believe you didn't go, gunz! You should have.

[algunz]

I know. The drive to LA was the deciding factor. We ended up having fun that night regardless.

[dorkfish]

That was the oddest Sufjan show that I've ever seen. I think he played 2 songs not off of the new EP/LP. Pretty much the Wiltern setlists, minus Seven Swans to open, opening with Age of Adz followed by Too Much. Same set follows, more or less. Encore of UFO Sighting into All Delighted People.

Also, before playing Get Real Get Right, did he do a 10 minute rambling monologue at the other shows?
