Today’s post hails from the year two thousand and five when Sufjan was invited to play a live set for one of my favorite radio stations, KEXP. If you don’t know what KEXP is, or you’ve never heard of them, then please take a second to hang out on their site. They stream all of their old shows {including concerts} for free as well as webcasting their daily broadcast to anyone who is willing to visit their site. For those of you who are big fans, or have deep pocket books, then please take a moment and help support a great radio station. You can even volunteer time, become an intern, or join one of KEXP’s street teams.
These Sufjan tracks hail from a show he played for KEXP at a venue called the Triple Door. If you’d rather stream the entire performance from KEXP you may certainly do so here, or to make life a little more portable, and a little more convenient, you can download the entire set in mp3 format below. Enjoy this third installment of Seven Days of Sufjan Stevens, it was a total bear to cobble this set together.

The track order, as performed that night, can be found in the comments on this post.
It’s a beautiful concert broadcast by a great radio station I have been listening to for a long time. Visit KEXP and help support them and the great artists they give airtime to. Also worth noting is that this live rendition of John Wayne Gacy, Jr. is a full ninety seconds longer than its album counterpart. And let me say, each of those ninety seconds is well worth it.
