    Love him, but the camera-person doesn't want to reconigze the other members of the band, pretty much static photo of Sufjan. Show some close-up's, pan to the right when the horns come in!!! Come on!

    I did the best w/ what I had ... I actually took the video using the video function of my still digital camera, and I can't zoom while filming with it. Had I a decent camera with me, I would have done a bit better.

    It's great, very good sound quality for a digital camera, or did you use an external mic?

    Nope, just used the built-in mic with the camera.

    At 0:55 everyone is making noise, and at 0:58 everyone is fascinate and silently listening to Sufjan.

    Yes the song is about Superman but it's a allegory about Christ.

    Seriously, is there any version without the background singers? They don't add anything to the song. If anything, they make it sound worse.

    this song is just so beautiful i can't believe i only just now started loving it. yeah the back up could be doing better.

    the horns sounded beautiful.

    incidentally, i love sufy's voice, especially when it does that little breaking straining thing, like around 2:50 and such when he's harmonizing on the chorus. reminds me of in seven swans (the song) at the end repeating seven swans. i love him desperately.

    Yeah I gotta agree with some of you folk and dissagree with others. The backup singers on this concert are just horrible. They're out of tune and their tone is just retched and grating. I love Sufjan Stevens, and of course, he sounds great.
