Daniel to perform at Sundance January 2005

[dejected]

The feature-length documentary on Daniel's life, "The Devil And Daniel Johnston" (great title!) has been accepted as a finalist in the documentary films at Sundance.   I understand that Daniel will be there the entire ten days of the festival and has been invited to perform at one or more events during that period.

Why is he going to be there all 10 days? Is he going skiing?

Daniel is going to share the stage with Will Oldham at Sundance - on Wed Jan 26th.   Wow!

Oh JEEZ-UZZ!!!  With Will Oldham at Sundance, huh?! That does it. No bills get paid, nobody gets any XMAS presents, Ramen noodles for the next 7 weeks...I gotta get to Sundance!

Hi Everyone


There's no chance of me getting to Sundance, I have a 10 month old one on the way just brought a house and live in the most issolated city in the world (Perth, W.A., Australia)

PLEASE someone record these performances both Daniel and Will Oldham.

Please with a cherry on top...

This just in:

They were unable to work the details of Will Oldham being there, so it will be
    Craig Armstrong and
    Yo La Tengo

who also perform that evening (Jan 26th) at the Music Cafe.  I don't know any more details than that.  To keep up with current info, see:

In brief, the performances on Wednesday went over well.

Daniel followed Craig Armstrong with acoustic guitar numbers and then some numbers on the baby grand piano.   They quickly set up a chord organ after his last piano number and Daniel did "Walking the Cow".

Halfway through the Yo La Tengo show, Daniel got on stage with them to do the Beatles "909", and then "Speeding Motorcycle".    Daniel's voice was pushed to the edge in the last number but he managed to end the song well!
