I was so surprised when I heard Pluto on the album. I compulsively listened to this live song years ago back in early high school (maybe 2009) so I was like wtf? I still like this version better (something about this concert is utterly magical - like everything he performs in this particular one is stunning), but Pluto's a really strong song nonetheless
What if Sufjan had followed Illinois with an album that featured this, Barn Owl, Majesty Snowbird, The Lord God BIrd.... It would have been his masterpiece, because in all honesty he has never been so sublime as on the songs that date from just after his most famous release.
So Pluto is 10 years in the making? Damn.

I almost can't believe this is still here. Please archive.
I have saved 400+ videos of Sufjan. If you like something on the internet, save it.

OMG, I want to see it live too.

Rob Moose on 1st. The talent Sufjan brought to this performance was stunning.
I’m fairly sure that is Olivier Manchon on first violin.
Does anyone know where I could find lyrics to this?
Is this on an album?
