I love how weird Sufjan is. The costumes are amazing, it adds to the performance. I have no words for how amazing and lively this is. Everyone seems like they are having the time of their lives.
+Matthew padmore - You're not the only one. I was also there with a friend and recently saw him on the "Carrie & Lowell" tour at the same venue. It was a very emotional gig but that 2011 date was just something else!
There are VERY few times I wish I lived in the states. But the chance to see this dude perform live...this song. Oh man. I'm not sure my brain, body and heart would be able to handle it.
the way this song goes from such an uplifting section (part 4) to Pleasure Principle (part5) is one of the most beautiful and saddest things I've ever heard.
Best live performance of impossible soul hands down. Sufjan's voice sounds exellent here, alot better than most other live performances. The playfully bittersweet freekish euphoria of this song really translates genuinely here, as opposed to alot of other times he plays this live it just comes across as a bit cringy. Edit: Also best live performance of pleasure principal, his voice sounds really free and effortless here.
I’d give anything to see him perform any song off age of adz, let alone ALL OF impossible soul. You are incredibly lucky, thank you so much for capturing this whole performance.
Ooh-ooh, woman, tell me what you want and I'll calm down Without bleeding out with a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes I was wigging out, too much worry, I could not get you at all And you said what you want, you would laugh it off But I know you won't go, not for real, at last Must you write it off for the impossible soul? And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life to you, if I could get you at all Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself" But all I want is the perfect love, though I know it's small I want love for us all And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life to you, if I could get you at all Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Trying to be something that I wasn't at all Do you want to be afraid? Do you want to be afraid?

What can I say? It was life-affirming and inspiring and jaw-dropping and transcendental. And the friend I went with is so lucky because she is seeing him again in Gateshead on Monday - I am so jealous! I felt privileged to be there. Derek
This is awesome! The performance explodes with life and exuberance. Right now, there are not very many people that make me feel proud to be an American, but Sufjan Stevens is definitely one of them.
This was the golden age of Sufjan for me. I still love his work, I'm a big fan of his later stuff, too, but Age of Adz and All Delighted People are still my favorites.
One of he best songs I've ever seen performed live. I saw him in Boston on that tour. Hope he keeps doing music before he loses his most genius and creative and beautiful mind.
@Derek22464 I completely agree with you... it was so awe-inspiring... I felt so lucky to see him at London as well as Brighton... even though I watched him from afar in London, I could feel the energy and was completely blown away! I wish I could see him more times, my friend will be seeing him for the 4th time at Primavera!
Thank you for posting this. I enjoy Sufan’s music very much. It’s not just because I am a fellow Michigander. This is actually a tough song; attack, mixing sound, not to mention the notes and phrasing. So many face melting artists in this isolated State:)
@franienj i especially love his Rudolf Steiner stories as my boyfriend used to go to a Rudolf Steiner school too, so he can definitely identify with Sufjan! Hahaha. You're lucky you got to see him 4 times, I wish I had more opportunity to see him on this tour, this date was only my 2nd time. I will live with this and the Southbank gig as the best moments of my life though. AMAZING. :)
@Derek22464 I agree with you, it's especially annoying when the camera obscures your line of sight, so that's why sometimes my shooting goes off a bit because I am trying not to hold my camera too high to avoid disturbing anyone while enjoying the gig. :P I only wanted to catch one song, but I think I must be some sort of masochist because I had the (mis)fortune to have bad timing and got Impossible Soul... but in hindsight I'm glad I did because I can relive this over and over. :)
I must confess, I do find it quite annoying the modern trend of people just standing there holding up their devices filming instead of actually engaging with the show. But, I take it all back in this instance - thank you noheartbeats for recording this track in particular because, apart from an electrifying "The Age Of Adz", I think this was the highlight of the night for me. I listened to the album yesterday and everything becomes fuller and richer when played live, especially this! Derek
See I like these shows they're up on stage having fun and gettin the stage messy, unlike shows where everything is organized and too much for show instead of quality of music
OMFG - thank you for posting this! So happy to be able to relive the best gig I've ever been to (I'm just really sorry that my apparently gigantic head was in the way for some of it.....)
@Derek22464 Exactly, I feel the album is so amazing live! To be honest I haven't heard the album until the South Bank show, so I was pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and your lovely comments. :)
@noheartbeats yep I can see my head (can't really miss the bloody thing!) I'm sure it's not that freakishly big in real life :( & well done for keeping your hand up that long. I would have been in a brill spot for video but the security guy came and told people in the front row that we couldn't film but photos were fine (so took loads) 4th time I've seen him this tour. This was the best gig. Loved it!
@noheartbeats thats the only downside of being front row, can't dodge the camera police. and ta for the compliment on my photos :) got a lot of crappy ones but I'm really pleased with how some of them turned out. Would have loved to have gone to more than 4 but credit cards are now maxed out. Norway trip to see him was bankrupting! Worth it for the memories though. Can't wait for him to come back and tour his next album!
@franienj hahaha, that's not a problem at all! booo, that sucks! yeah i did notice him coming up and down telling people not to video or take photos with flash (is this right?) so I'm glad I was further back because I sneaked in my DSLR to take pictures, I think if I was at the front it would've been confiscated. ^^;; i saw your pics and your tumblr, really nice shots! I agree that there should be more gig banter videos, I wish I did record all of them as they are hilarious
Press: Sufjan is a folk singer
Sufjan: Hold my beer
That picture of Harry is just starring into my soul
I love how weird Sufjan is. The costumes are amazing, it adds to the performance. I have no words for how amazing and lively this is. Everyone seems like they are having the time of their lives.
He’s not weird the rest of the world is
@@hello50881yes
i was at this gig and i am still talking about it 5 years later!! in fucking sane!
+Matthew padmore - You're not the only one. I was also there with a friend and recently saw him on the "Carrie & Lowell" tour at the same venue.
It was a very emotional gig but that 2011 date was just something else!
I'd do unspeakable things to see Sufjan play this song all the way through.
One of the best experiences of my life
This man really played a 30 minute song live, if this doesn't show how much of a god he is I don't know what will.
There are VERY few times I wish I lived in the states. But the chance to see this dude perform live...this song. Oh man. I'm not sure my brain, body and heart would be able to handle it.
This is in the UK though. :)
you put how i feel about him into words
not sure if my brain, body and heart would be able to handle it
same
the way this song goes from such an uplifting section (part 4) to Pleasure Principle (part5) is one of the most beautiful and saddest things I've ever heard.
Yeah
iconic.. he really did that
the absolute madman
"But would you buy that record?"
Oh my god. I love this guy.
And then he starts hanging out with The National who’s lead singer, Matt Behringer, is a deep baritone. I probably would buy that record.
This man had the guts to perform the whole 25 minute song.
i would kill to be able to watch him perform impossible soul live
Best live performance of impossible soul hands down. Sufjan's voice sounds exellent here, alot better than most other live performances. The playfully bittersweet freekish euphoria of this song really translates genuinely here, as opposed to alot of other times he plays this live it just comes across as a bit cringy.
Edit: Also best live performance of pleasure principal, his voice sounds really free and effortless here.
If i witnessed this live id be on my knees bawling my eyes out
I’d give anything to see him perform any song off age of adz, let alone ALL OF impossible soul. You are incredibly lucky, thank you so much for capturing this whole performance.
I want to see and live this so badly...
Ooh-ooh, woman, tell me what you want and I'll calm down
Without bleeding out with a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know
My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul
Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes
I was wigging out, too much worry, I could not get you at all
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
But I know you won't go, not for real, at last
Must you write it off for the impossible soul?
And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow
Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life to you, if I could get you at all
Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all
Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone
To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"
But all I want is the perfect love, though I know it's small
I want love for us all
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life to you, if I could get you at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Trying to be something that I wasn't at all
Do you want to be afraid?
Do you want to be afraid?
For life in the cage, where courage's mate runs deep in the wake
For the scariest things are not half as enslaved
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Do you want to be alone?
Do you want to be alone?
For life isn't stained of righteousness pain
The seed and the hail
All impossible flights, for an interesting light
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Do you want to love me more?
Do you want to love me more?
For love is the breath
If water and wind is cursed by the same thing that nurtured its shame
Is it worth all the work?
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain!)

All my delight, all that mattered, I couldn't be at rest
From what I liked, from what I gathered, I couldn't be at rest
Stupid man in the window, I couldn't be at rest
And don't be shy in the window
Come down and give your best
Oh, delight in the window, I couldn't be at rest
Stupid man in the window, I couldn't be at rest
From what I liked, from what I gathered, I couldn't give my best
Oh, I know it wasn't safe

I felt privileged to be there.

I love that they look like they really enjoy this. They enjoy they're music. And that is so beautiful and cool ohmygod I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS

Not only is his music unique, the clothes he's wearing in this performance must be too, they really look good. I love all his songs.
This is awesome! The performance explodes with life and exuberance. Right now, there are not very many people that make me feel proud to be an American, but Sufjan Stevens is definitely one of them.
Awsome, he's like a modern Peter Gabriel
wtf his talking voice is way much deeper than I expected
I’d pay front row tickets just to watch him perform this song
We don't the deserve the clinically depressed gay archangel that is Sufjan Stevens
Patron saint, guide the way.
This was the golden age of Sufjan for me. I still love his work, I'm a big fan of his later stuff, too, but Age of Adz and All Delighted People are still my favorites.
the power of this performance and sufjan's artistry still echoes, almost a decade later. phenomenal
One of he best songs I've ever seen performed live. I saw him in Boston on that tour. Hope he keeps doing music before he loses his most genius and creative and beautiful mind.
this was absolutely INSANE to watch....man i would have sold my (impossible) soul to have gotten a chance to see it in person
admitedly Sufjan is a freak but I absolutely love it. Thanks for uploading
Shit, he's insane! Love this man.
Thank you so much for recording this. I cannot imagine what it must have been like to be there...
An amazing musical talent.
This is the best version on RUclips!!!
No but really how interesting it would be to see what kind of songs Baritone!Sufjan would produce....!
This music makes me incredibly happy! The performance is amazing!
perpetual chills.
He was totally worth the wait.

WHYYY DID I MISS THIS TOUR
This is glorious. Thank you!
Man, that's rough... so sorry to hear that... :(

This is amazing. Godddd i wish i was there.
This is my favourite song
thank you very much for uploading this
its genius
thank you for this!! was a lovely night.
amazing grace!

awesome....i love this xxxx
See I like these shows they're up on stage having fun and gettin the stage messy, unlike shows where everything is organized and too much for show instead of quality of music
This is so sick
many thanks for recording the full version!! brilliant video!
thank you so much. it was amazing
OMFG - thank you for posting this! So happy to be able to relive the best gig I've ever been to (I'm just really sorry that my apparently gigantic head was in the way for some of it.....)
Thanks! This is was so good!
@JPinto Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. :D
This is really really good!
@akaBerferd Thank you! Haha, don't be jealous, I'm actually envious of you as you have a lot more chance of seeing him than we do here in the EU. :)
@Derek22464 Exactly, I feel the album is so amazing live! To be honest I haven't heard the album until the South Bank show, so I was pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and your lovely comments. :)
Wtf! I can't believe I had to leave before this :O!
Amazing!
@noheartbeats yep I can see my head (can't really miss the bloody thing!) I'm sure it's not that freakishly big in real life :( & well done for keeping your hand up that long. I would have been in a brill spot for video but the security guy came and told people in the front row that we couldn't film but photos were fine (so took loads) 4th time I've seen him this tour. This was the best gig. Loved it!
WOW
@Niceaction No probs, thanks, glad you liked it. :D
@leeeeuwtje WHAT! No wayyyyyy, how gutting. :( I'm sorry you had to miss this... hopefully you'll get to stay for the whole duration of his next gig.
Holy s*** this Pyramid head is awesome !!!
Cutest man alive
@rekalena cheers, glad you liked it! :)
22:30 to 22:45 funniest thing ive ever seen, period.
@noheartbeats thats the only downside of being front row, can't dodge the camera police. and ta for the compliment on my photos :) got a lot of crappy ones but I'm really pleased with how some of them turned out. Would have loved to have gone to more than 4 but credit cards are now maxed out. Norway trip to see him was bankrupting! Worth it for the memories though. Can't wait for him to come back and tour his next album!
Hahahahaha JUST happened to me too! I love it..
gosh I’m so worried watching this that someone’s gonna trip. amazing video though!
@Astral1980 It is indeed!
Trombones!
@beckyhesilrige No probs, thanks and glad you liked it! :)
@franienj hahaha, that's not a problem at all! booo, that sucks! yeah i did notice him coming up and down telling people not to video or take photos with flash (is this right?) so I'm glad I was further back because I sneaked in my DSLR to take pictures, I think if I was at the front it would've been confiscated. ^^;; i saw your pics and your tumblr, really nice shots! I agree that there should be more gig banter videos, I wish I did record all of them as they are hilarious
@boggisman I like that part too.
@noheartbeats Yeah, I had to catch a bus :( And then (this is the completely saddening part) the bus was an hour late anyway!!!
indeed hilarious XD
I'm not sure my brain could have handled being at that performance. I can hardly handle it on 1/4 of my computer screen
