Sufjan Stevens Should Live at The Fox

Tonight's show was amazing. No other words can describe the swell of music, pride, and happiness that filled my heart when I heard the music play.

I couldn't breathe most of the time because my heart felt so full. And as corny and nonsensical as that sounds it's completely and honestly how I felt.

This concert was completely different than the one I saw a year ago at 40 Watt and for that I'm grateful. Much newer and rarely played music, plus a couple of the old favorites. I died with the acoustic version of "Romulus." Amazing.

"Chicago" made me smile like no other, "The Transfiguration" video made me deliriously calm, and the new songs made me so proud of him and all he and the band have done.

Key note:
The videos were a fantastic idea and I don't think the show would have worked without them. The Fox is too big without something else to watch, especially with everyone sitting down. The clips of the Illinoisemakers on the road were great, second to "The Transfiguration" clouds.

I am extremely and 100% (happily) satisfied and surprised with tonight's show.
