Joanna Newsom - Sapokanikan Live

[bazingacurta]

She is one of the greatest musical artists ever, Jesus Christ. Pure genius.

This song is crazy. Just absolutely overflowing with whims and ideas and beautiful motifs, restless and unpredictable like a dry leaf in the wind. Watching her band (with all respect) _try_ to do it justice live gave me a new appreciation of that, so thanks for the upload! (Yes, I still get goosebumps from the «we all raise the standard» part and out)

Good to see and hear this complex song performed with professional audio and visual recording. Thank you for the upload.

This is awesome..does anyone else think she sings like she has an old world accent? I can’t even describe it it’s like from another world

[MasDouc]

How do you even write something like this? These lyrics are seriously some of the greatest written works in the past decade. Once in a generation talent.

This song is monumental. The lyrics are absolutely breathtaking and her performance is awesome, as usual. For everyone who does not get the meaning of the lyrics, I suggest checking the genius annotations. They are quite encompassing.

[kevinshay]

Absolutely brilliant. The best live performance I've ever seen.

The comment section on the original upload was a cesspool, Jimmy Kimmel fans are the worst

[hovhadovah]

The live version is somehow better than the recording, which is already amazing. I don't get how people hate her voice. It's so beautiful. Possibly the most unique singing voice ever.

[jenn]

she’s the best artist ever :( I love her so much!

[Michael-nsey]

So relieved this is just as good live. Amazing.

[sloanx]

She is and always has been a fucking genius. Along the lines with Kate and Fiona

[mpfmax]

They kinda cut short the outro, but amazing how good it sounds live

[waggawaggaful]

All her clothes are beautiful. I know she wears a lot of Rodarte, but she could easily design her own clothing line.

[iHeartCoolStuff]

Wtf Joanna newsom sounds amazing in 2021

[robertd]

As much as I dislike the compassion with Kate Bush (which I respect) she is an absolute talent, on piano and vocally.

[cardboardgod]

It's clear to me now that she's a robot. Nobody should sing the lines about the John Purroy Mitchel, about the alleged Washington's quote (Let us raise a standard) and about the caveman looking at the ruins of the civilisation without breaking their voice. There's just no way. I can't do it. No hot-blooded human that understand the weight of the matter he sings about can do it. She must think of these things as trivial factoids to put in her lyrics.
