I skipped on the Age Of Adz tour because I didnā€™t have much money, and back then the thought of going to a gig on my own if nobody else wanted to go was mortifying, and I didnā€™t really like AOA at first, actually grew to dislike it a bit until I went back in the lead up to C&L. Really pissed off at my young self for that. I would kill to see Impossible Soul live. Didnā€™t realise how massive heā€™d go with it until the streams of the US fests he did around 2016.

Thereā€™s a decent enough yotube of impossible soul live. I watch it all the time. Have fantasised about throwing a fancy dress party for years just so i can go dressed as him on that tour but would require that black lighting be installed.

1st time I saw him it was just Sufjan with a banjo and a notepad he used to illustrate his stories between songs, he was 3rd on the bill (iron and wine was next and I canā€™t remember the headliner, I was there for the other 2)

Was quite the contrast with the next time I saw him on the AOA tour

It was an amazing night and itā€™s definitely one of my top 3 gigs (and Iā€™ve been to a lot). Iā€™ve seen him several times, I mentioned in the musical regrets thread that I nearly saw him supporting Rosie Thomas in Sheffield around 2000ā€¦ On reflection Iā€™m quite glad I missed him as this would be around the time ā€˜A Sun Cameā€™ and I may not have liked him.

In Dublin I remember one of the dancers climbing from the stage onto the speakers and up into one of the little boxes at the side of the theatre

Huh I thought St Vincent had left his band by then

This is a joke about St Vincent climbing up onto the balcony in like 3 of the live shows Iā€™ve seen her do, so Iā€™m hoping this is a recognisable bit of her schtick for people to go ā€œhahaā€ or something, and not just Iā€™ve happened to be there the only three times sheā€™s decided to do it
