Sometime you wonder how certain albums will translate live and “Carrie & Lowell” was one of them, how to create such a heartfelt journey to such a mass of people whilst retaining its intimacy. Well, if you ever want a lesson on how it’s done make sure you see this tour.

Hi Laura I noticed that you were one of the few people to see the Sufjan Stevens soundcheck things i put on YouTube. I've just put the last part up there. I've also put links onto Tumblr and Twitter. Cheers Laurie

Sufjan Stevens performs a soundcheck at End of the Road. Part 2

[scilly99]

Sufjan Stevens came to End of the Road this year. As well as the fabulous performance in the evening, he treated us to a soundcheck in the morning. It was a fascinating insight into how the band work together. And a chance to get much closer to the front than i'd normally ever achieve ! I took a few photos and short video and then left the sound recorder running on my phone. Hi-fi it is not but if you're a Sufjan fan hopefully it's something a bit different. There's plenty of much better footage out there - i dont know how they do it. I'm too busy watching the show ! This is a link to part 1

Do you have any more pictures? I was one of the five people he gently made fun of because we were sitting on the stands intended for four people; and I was the one he was suspicious of because I had my mobile phone out. He appeared to feel remorseful for even asking what that was in my hand, though. :P (I’m glad I decided against taping the show with my spectacle-mounted mics - he’d surely have seen them. The phone was really just a phone, and I wasn’t recording it.)

I'll put the unedited ones up - but you'll see why i edited them !

Yes i remember the reference to you all. Sadly no more photos. I felt self conscious enough taking those two hurried pictures at the end. Ive heard him enough times rip into people taking pictures ! Ive only seen one other picture which might be that day. https://twitter.com/deepy1975/status/638424498774126592 Yellow t-shirt - which is a clue ....

Tree If you haven’t seen it - you really should. Probably my favourite Kitson production. The interplay with Tim Key was marvellous. TK is very underrated as an actor. I first saw DK at @LatitudeFest 2013 talking about this play. He only had a couple of pages - but still managed to talk for an hour or so interspersed with the few lines he had. It was great to finally see the finished work.

Robert Wyatt @arnolfiniarts in conversation with his Biographer Marcus O'Dair. A great night out. Can't wait to read the book - Different Every Time. By the way - Robert Wyatt is on the Left.
