In 2020, Sturgill Simpson went on tour for his Sound & Fury album, which is one of my favorite records. Unfortunately, like every other tour, most of his dates were canceled due to COVID. I wasn’t able to see the tour just like the majority of fans in the US. Shortly after, I had the idea to stitch together live videos of each song he played on the tour and basically reconstruct a show using existing video footage. At the time though, not many people had posted videos from his shows, so I gave up on the idea and just assumed there wasn’t enough content.
After a recent deep dive, I found that more videos had surfaced and I was finally able to make this project a reality. I know it isn't perfect or totally seamless, but I think that this video gives a great idea of what the tour would have felt like.
This video is meant to represent what a typical night of the tour would have looked like. His set varied slightly night to night, so I tried to make sure that every song he performed regularly was represented.
This entire project was made possible through other fans who shared their videos of Sturgill's tour. Each original uploader is credited at the end of this video.
So all that said, please enjoy the video! I'm so excited to finally share the Sound & Fury tour the way it was meant to be seen.
