(G) Sufjan Stevens w/ My Brightest Diamond

Opening Act: My Brightest Diamond
Grade: A
Considering that I rarely see an opening act that I enjoy I have to say I LOVED My Brightest Diamond, though I probably would not buy a full-length album. I missed her solo show a couple months back but was pleased to finally see her. Sadly the best song of her set was a cover of a Nina Simone song but it was fabulous.

Headliner: Sufjan Stevens
Grade: B
Sufjan performed for about an hour and 40 minutes which is quite impressive. He was full of stories, and wonderful arrangements. I was able to bring home a souvenier (a blow-up Santa). During the show he threw out Santa's and Supermen. He performed a new song which had something about a 'Snowbird' in the title and that song was THE BEST song of the night, absolutely amazing. Everyone in the band was dressed in what looked like boyscout uniforms with wings attached. He had eagle wings while everyone else had butterfly wings. It was a wonderful show.

Did you go to the Wiltern show?? I was going to go to that but gave my ticket away cause I had a LONG day at work. What other shows do you have coming up?
