Sufjan Stevens - Sister (live)

[erinmariem]

im from detroit - i saw this tour in london on my birthday in 04. whenever i felt homesick for the states in the uk, i would listen to this song. now, whenever i feel homesick for the uk, i watch this video. thanks so much for capturing a lovely song.

[CrimsonEmpire]

I like this version a lot more than the original actually. The chorus of voices is more to my liking than the electric guitar.

[mmathew88]

I can't get over this video. Idk how many times I've watched it.

[Parampurkh]

I enjoy listening to you so much.....you really are one of the greats of our time. There is such depth and truth to your music! :)

[DjTonino]

i just LOVE this song, i just LOVE Sufjan Stevens songs

[chukmaty]

I want to see a concert with Stevens, Phil Keaggy, and Arcade Fire in one show sometime before I get to heaven and such things will be mandatory.

[CrimsonEmpire]

I would love the chords or tab to this.

[Heligoland43]

oh my god, so lovely. wish i could've been there to sign backup.

[CrimsonEmpire]

is that capod on the first fret?

[lavadalareine]

@CrimsonEmpire 2nd

[CrimsonEmpire]

this is like a religious experience.  That chord progression is awesome and the choir is awesome. That's a great sounding audience

[zjh47]

his voice sounds incredible live i want to see a show of his really bad

[kiao1208]

i wish i wasn't 11 when he was touring with his music from seven swans haha what i would have done to hear him play this...

[SplinterCell37]

Hahahah! This guy's such a character!

[mightybruno]

great opening -- enjoyed the entire video was singing along

[joepickard]

if only the full song was filmed! great video, easily my favourite solo musician :)

[WillBraden]

I wish this went through the whole song! it's so amazing...

[ivetcoronado]

Oh my.... he's so amazing <3

[patrickpatrol]

is there anyway to find out the chords he plays while he's singing?

[clemzzz]

it starts with B then to G then to Asharp then to Em.. i think it's the same all the way through.. although the bridge could go to Fsharp instead of the Em

[clemzzz]

looking at it ,he has a capo on fret 2 , so it's the same chord shapes but 2 frets up ,so Csharp ,A, C , Fsharp Minor , ( and bridge G sharp minor

[eikogo]

you could play and figure it out

[RecentFuture]

@patrickpatrol Chords are: [Capo on 1, not 2, frets relative to capo] 22440x, 54460x, 44210x, 02240x

[mrdoppio]

Great video. Thanks for posting. When I saw him perform this in Dallas, it was his opening track that he played on piano.

[caitmach]

he is a babe!

[Osmun79]

That's a really young Sufjan.. must be 21-22?

[TheBoss2332]

No. He would have been about 29 in this video.

[clemzzz]

yeah he was 29 cos he was born july 1 1975 and this is october 2004

[meatpuppet128]

i like it best without all the electric guitar in it :) this is nice

[brokenimages]

hey GO FUCK YOURSELF

[madkaye]

Sans the anger and swearing, I appreciate your point. I hate how users will write a bunch of "OMG I LUV U" crap on videos of really great performances. I know people get excited, but theres no reason to write things like "I wish Sufjan was gay" or crap like that. Over the top comments tend to degrade the point of enjoying videos... Sufjan is REALLY good, but in a personal way, not in an in your face way, and people who really appreciate him need to give respect by posting worth-wile comments.

[EarthMomma]

Hey!!! Where did the rest of the song go?

[filmbiscuit]

SUFJAN SAVES.

[jpenns]

sufjan, so young! love it

[ridemyspiral]

i would cry if i saw this live, and i'm an only child!

[phrozen17]

he is by far my favorite artist right now

[supradude7891]

this man is genius.

if i was gay, Sufjan's my first choice.

[greatalex12345]

@supradude7891

15 likes for the gay comment vs. 19 likes for the hater comment...

[s9pohann]

genius

[jugzter]

The greatest Sufjan song, and so much better live!!

[ritapham]

I HEART SUFJAN

[letambourinnoir]

wow, thanks so much for posting.

[Amotisthekiss]

Could you please please please upload when he was explaining the song before? I would be forever in your gratitude. I love how he has a story for almost all the songs for that album, it makes it so much more intimate.

[Zlatan182]

so class saw it about 6 months ago and just watched it again there, serious microphone quality! did u just upload the video file ? how did the quality not deteriorate?

[yoamomusic]

this is freakin' incredible

[teaandcakeordeath]

CAN SOMEONE RIP THIS INTO A FORMAT THAT CAN GO ON ITUNES??? if you did id pretty much love you forever

[enthrutheoutdoor]

good quality man<3

[colmbroaders]

Wonderful performance.

[fireindresden252]

Amazing video and sound quality. One of my favorite songs. What did you record this with?

[freekorps]

sony cybershot p100

[coloradoluvsu]

Wow, I'm in physical pain both from the feeling of the song, and the painful ridiculousness of Sufjan's absurd hotness. That's just ridiculous.

Whoever posted this, this is one of the best videos I've seen.

[sssllloooaaannn]

wow this is amazing... clearly his european concerts have an entirely different atmosphere. thanks so much for this!

[freekorps]

well this is a solo show from two years ago, before he exploded. the next year he was back with the cheerleading and such

[sssllloooaaannn]

Oh, i didn't even see that it was 2004. Enjoyable none the less!
