Bon Iver: Full Concert | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 гру 2016
- On Dec. 4, just before Bon Iver took the stage at Pioneer Works, an old ironworks warehouse turned nonprofit arts and culture space, these prophetic words from Union Army officer Sullivan Ballou echoed off the Civil War-era brick walls:
"Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me to you with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly on with all these chains to the battlefield."
A week after writing those lines, Ballou was mortally wounded, dying for a cause in which he firmly believed.
At first, these words struck me as disconnected from the evening's music. Bon Iver's new record, 22, A Million, feels so distant from the Civil War and the words of Sullivan Ballou. But there's a very real kinship between the letter and this band. Believing in what you do is essential to Justin Vernon and the music he creates for Bon Iver, and impermanence and duality are prevailing themes of this album.
So, here in Brooklyn, at Pioneer Works, a space Vernon believes in and actively assists as a member of the Advisory Board, he and his team created a very special evening - a transcendent night of voices masked, faces hidden in darkness and a performance aimed at soul-searching and purpose over pop and stardom.
This music was performed by a powerful big band, with two drummers and a sax ensemble backing upfront processed sounds, like vocal alterations and sampling, alongside electric and acoustic guitars. It was a visionary performance, fit perfectly to brilliant lighting and sound, seemingly executed down to fine detail by a guy in a Tipitina's T-shirt, loose pants and high-tops: unassuming, seemingly uncaring, but most certainly in control.

Hey Tiny Desk Fans,
Check out NPR’s Black Stories, Black Truths - a collection of podcasts hosted by journalists who speak truth to power. Our voices are as varied, nuanced, and dynamic as the Black experience. And stories should never be about us without us. Listen now: www.npr.org/podcasts/510372/black-stories-black-truths
No thanks.
"White stories, white truths, speaking white excellence into white power." See how weird that sounds
Wow NPR sux, “hey guys, here’s our next marxist trope to try and divide you and sow racial hatred”
Yeah n p r sux, they are spreading hate and they keep deleting my comments that criticize their racist agenda
I'm a trauma nurse. I've had this set on repeat lately trying to get through these days at work. If anyone reads this, please know, you matter.
Thank you
Hail to all the medics on earth, and you especialy for being with Bon Iver. I wish you all, ALL the best.
@@tisiaan love ya brother
An OR nurse here. Loooove Bon Iver. Him live takes you to another place. Music heals 🙌
Bless you @beardedspeed.
I feel like attending a Bon Iver concert would be a spiritual experience
Jake Welch it really is brother! It really is!
Jake Welch will
I can vouch. Absolutely a spiritual experience. Even when he was shredding a guitar at the end of Creature Fear, it felt oddly serene. It's amazing
yes. 'tis
One hell of a trip 😂
Who's here in 2020 and still feeling it?
Yep. With all the youtube ads >:{
Me. I physically cannot atop watching.
Still feels like the first time
**raises hand**
too soon... se you in 2030
I legit watch this 3 times a week
hehhehehe I'm watching it three times a day.... obviously addicted 😀
Me too. Still!
RockinMidnightMoon a
I do the same for the AIR Studios acoustic songs.
We do have a Life Dustin, as an example, i am now at work and use this as my background music
So much credit to whoever mixed the audio. They did an incredible job
credits are at the end
audio engineer: Xandy Whitesel
We love you Xandy
Word
Yeah. This is my headphone test track
this version of 33 'GOD' may be the best piece of music in recent memory
it blows away the album version. After listening to other live versions, this is the best by far
I feel this way about the 666 version here
Listening on Repeat Mode.
I was never a huge fan of the song till I saw it now
Hasn't been the same since, this performance is perfection!
I love the comments section of Bon Iver videos because it's like, FINALLY, people who get it! I love you all.
:'] love 2 you🌺🐦
Love you!! No one in my friends circle like Bon Iver too.
@@dailybrewid8630
I love you too ❤
and i love you more 😭😭💞
My dad died yesterday, and for some reason this concert has been helping me. Thank you for making such beautiful music for those of us in pain.
Music is here for this, Hope you good, be strong ! ❤️
Lost my dad a month ago too, I know exactly what you’re feeling ❤ hope you’re doing ok, I’m trying to take it one day at a time ❤️ Love like that doesn’t just end, we’ll carry it with us forever
Sending my love to you! ❤ I hope you’re okay and that you have support.
Love you brother, you will meet again
Justin Vernon seems to understand how to communicate emotions involved within certain moments in life that people feel but don't really know how to describe, or even realise they feel it. But he does it with more than just words, in the song _45_ there are only about 3/4 different sentences, yet a million emotions are communicated. It's like he's tapped into something different. He's a genius.
James Sinton Couldnt agree, comes from someone like myself. What you wrote right there thats exactly how i feel
it’s called melancholy. i feel that to all his songs
Simple like that!
Thats how I write , play and start singing
@@michaelangelo1546 melancholy is a specific feeling, this guy is saying that he feels a lot
I'd die happy if I got to see Bon Iver in concert
Lilianna cloud in berlin this February 😍😍
I see him in Oslo 29 january
Lilianna cloud same
27 januari, netherlands:) waited 3,5 years
go to Eaux Claires its a fun great environment.
I legit got UA-cam red so I can listen to this with no ads
I used to listen to Bon Iver on late night car rides home when I was 14. I am 22 now, and it still brings me such peace.
The dude on drums plays with so much raw emotion
This is one of the best recorded live shows I've ever seen.
The audio production, the lights, the videos behind the band, the band itself!
I could go on. Perfect performance. Thank you NPR.
So true
100%
From 5:30 , only Bon Iver could turn ‘but I gotta fold my clothes’ into the sickest drop, actually breathtaking
Take that J Cole!
That’s why he’s in the top tier
this version of 33 god is so good
The one and only time that sentence has brought me tears or joy not sadness 😂
I WANT A TATTOO OF THIS VIDEO
haha mood
@Chris Facts this ain't it chief
mee soo too ...
same. And I don't have any tattoos. My favorite concert footage on UA-cam. simply amazing.
postealo cuando te lo hagas
muchas imagenes para escoger
this is why i personally think "22, a million" is the best album justin and co have released thus far. there is so much fucking emotion that is perfectly translated with the glitches and vocal effects and sampling. i cried listening to both the album and this live performance. they keep outdoing themselves. aoty, 2016.
opinions!
Indeed. But Bon Iver, Bon Iver was a fucking masterpiece as well.
I found it very experimental.
I tried so hard to like the album, to me he was just trying to be different and lost the soul of his other records.
Ryan Moorman yes yes yes. I was at Eaux Claires when he debuted this album and I can say firsthand what it's like to see a crowd of thousands in complete awe. A spiritual experience like none other and this album is absolute magic.
This is seriously one of the best concerts I've heard. Better than the album imo
As a drummer i was always taught to not show emotion when you play. "Don't pull faces, just look serious"
I love seeing professional drummers just feeling the music. Just to feel what they play and show it.
Fantastic performance. One of my all time favourites.
that sucks that you were taught that. whoever told you that definitely didn't understand the importance of emotion in music
Most drummers since the 60 were making faces( keith moon , john bohnam, etc) so keep doing what you are doing
Music is emotion - why not show it, it makes you human and relatable - and what is the difference between the singer and the drummer when they feel the music they play?
Who wants to join my crusade to find a way to have this performance pressed to vinyl or cd. The sound quality is spectacular and Id love to have a physical copy of this for my collection. Just me??
I recorded it on a high end type IV metal cassette. Sounds absolutly fenomenal!
youre not alone my friend
MRSCARCULTURE same
I pressed it on vinyl myself. I can create another one for you, still interested?:)
the amount of emotion he puts in 715 creeks is just beautiful
Chris Knapp off the chain
“I believe true focus lies somewhere between rage and serenity.” Some say my music taste sounds “sad” but man, this set is pure.
March 2022, and i keep coming back to this MASTERPIECE
Hear hear
Same always come back to 5:45 and listen to that part on repeat
This is my first time. Not sure I can describe how I feel. It truly is one of the greatest performances. I found this album 2 days ago. Can't believe nobody has ever shown me this. But I'm glad I'm here. I'll be listening to this for years and years to come. Can't wait to dive more into Bon Iver since I've only really heard songs from his first album.
@@jaredalvarez4340 Oh, lucky you. You are in for a sonic treat. The sophomore album Bon Iver, Bon Iver, is on par with the brilliance of 22, A Million. Listen to it more than a few times with quality speakers or headphones. And if you are really going for it, listen to it while a little high and don’t read the lyrics, as they are mostly phonetic. If there’s one thing I would like.. forgetting Bon Iver’s discography and rediscover it all. Enjoy!!
I'm seeing him in a week and a half. So freaking excited.
This is my emotional support video.
It's so much fun to read the comment sections of the Bon Iver UA-cam videos, because people open their hearts like you've known them for a long time. It's so beautiful to share these experiences just from hearing their music. This is the kind of music that strengthens life. The music that makes you want to sit on a mountaintop enjoying the view or mow the lawn or sit by the ocean, or have a cup of tea with your best friends, or cry over your lost love. That's music. Not all the other shit that's about someone's ass and how big of a bass drop the song has.
I was having a serious anxiety attack at work.
I'm absolutely not a fan of Bon Iver, at all, very far from it even! but don't ask me why, this is saving me right now.
:']
You spoke only truth friend.
Please never take this video down.
Bon Iver is universe altering, depressingly transcendent and life changing.
Tonight, me and my partner was meant to be in Amsterdam to see the beautiful Bon Iver but due to the virus is been held off until next January 2021.
So we have made a lovely dinner, beers, wine and have got on their playlist throughout the night.
See you next year! We can’t wait 😊
cant wait for january
Was it canceled too?
@@bobsena3200 Yes, it was(
I sure hope you mean "girlfriend..."
MY favourite thing about this video is that there aren't a million phones and ipads in the air recording this! Everyone's just enjoying the music they've been blessed with witnessing.
wipeout911 That's because (no hate to them or their audience) their audience is 80% stoners and theyre letting the music have a spiritual effect on them. There's nothing wrong with them being stoners,, just merely an observation. I am a big fan of Bon Iver myself however I am not a stoner.
I was just wondering why the crowd is so awkwardly dead. I could never go to a concert and just stand around like that. Super lame.
@@karenmorris8303 it's a vibe.. massive respect for the artists and the performance. Also probably an middle aged crowd. Plus a major recording underway, so i could imagine they might have even been asked to keep it at a certain level to preserve the integrity of the audio? But I personally wouldn't want to miss a thing.. I saw Bon Iver for this tour, and it was awe inspiring. I wasn't jumping around, yelling and dancing the way I might at a different show. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This music makes the world a better place..
Makes me forget my sorrows
agreed!
It makes me remember them all :/
Tunde Abiola makes me non stop cry
I get you
I'd like to believe that music like this helps me embrace my sorrows and make me feel okay with being sorrowful, but I agree that it makes the world a better place.
I'm gonna be honest. This live concert made me love the album.
Strafford is maybe the most beautiful song. This version is everything.
it’s incredible
Was looking for this comment because I wanted to leave it myself. It's really amazing.
Right? Even better than the album recording. This version is what hooked me on Bon Iver to begin with - it was part of a playlist on youtube, and so I had to seek out the rest of the album. This whole concert is a masterpiece.. Gorgeous production, sound, vocals, arrangements, everything. I wouldn't change a thing
It is!! I love this version more than the album record
Agreed - I keep coming back to it
Excellent filming, editing, and sound quality. The NPR Music team does such a fantastic job of producing high quality material, from fantastic artists. I mean, heck, if they had a record label, I would probably listen to everything they produced.
Sean Clancy well they are npr. if their stuff is off just a little bit there would have to be a serious reason for it.
This is why we cannot let anyone cut funding to NPR, PBS ect!
Honestly, the audio quality is great (as it should be, as their chosen medium is fucking RADIO) but the camera angles were average, and the direction during the first few songs was truly fucking lack luster. Case in point: idiot director kept cutting to Michael instead of staying on Justin when he was playing guitar in 10 deathbreast, just for example. Yes, I have a background in video and audio production.
If you have to include "yes I have a background in video and audio production" at the end of your comment, you're the absolute worst. I bet you work at Radio Shack.
Sean Kristen
22 million is the best album ever , this concert is the best produced and exciting concert I have ever seen. As years go by , I come to understand we'll never see something like this again
We will most DEFINITELY see something like this again. Come on now.
@@markmcgarry6147 Yeah, the next Bon Iver album.
Bon Iver is one of the greats. I think the best artist of the 2010s IMO. He has more great records to make. There will certainly be other amazing but different musicians. The War on Drugs among others come to mind! But many more.
29 strafford APTS is so incredible in this LIVE. I love that entire album but this version gives me life. This entire show gives me life
If you ever EVER have an even small chance at seeing bon iver it will change your life completely. he's a truly amazing musician and a great guy
This a trillion times!!! LEGEND
Is what I tell every people I know. New and old
Changed mine
You can never go wrong with Bon Iver.
This has the best audio production of any live show I've ever heard.
That’s Justin ....
Hey NPR, when ya doing i,i live?!
Let his tour start first my friend haha
@@howtodohelp but what if we need it right now?
If we're lucky, they'll tape at the back to back shows at the Anthem in DC coming up this week. At Pioneer Works, BI played back to back shows and since there is an NPR headquarters in DC and that the Anthem is a smaller venue, I hope my hunch is right.
@@IkeChristenson were you lucky?
June 2022 and still here. This set has been there for me through so much. The passion from everyone performing on stage is unreal. What a joy to watch and to listen to.
Still there with you ♥️
Jan 2023
May 2023 still here ❤
Until I saw this video, I had no idea how they would ever be able to perform live. The multi-layered vocals, the seemingly infinite number of sounds, from electronic to brass, it just seemed too much to pull off. This concert, and the production values of this video, are indescribable. I can only imagine what it was like to have been there live.
so true!! a breathtaking concert! it sets new standards in almost every aspect of modern music!!
I've heard this concert like 12 times since 12|22|16. I think I'm obsessed.
Better catch up
Me too. I can't stop listening to this album! I really can't stop!!
5:46 Only Bon Iver could make a line as simple as ‘well I better fold my clothes’ sound like the best lyric ever created.
I mean the spiritual significance of the line is pretty impactful as well
Definitely one of my favorite moments in the album..."I could go forward in the night...but I gotta fold my clothes." The "but I gotta" fills the rhythm with absolute perfection and brings the in the hit of the next measure.
When I first listened to this album I didn't get it. Now I don't think I get anything else.
53:46
"I don't know about the whole tradition of 'leaving the stage and coming back' thing. So, we're gonna literally play two more songs and then we're all gonna be okay, and we're gonna be really happy, and we're gonna love each other, and we're gonna go take care of each other and the whole other, all the shit that's going on."
-Justin Vernon
I love JV to bits, but I was actually a bit meeh about this little speach. sry
Well said Justin...perfect.
Denim-shirt Saxophone-man is a beautiful gift to humanity
Ian Mitchell think he's called lewis
Called Lewis, but not Lewis Dyson for sure ;)
Ian Mitchell Michael Lewis
CS IHDA haha
I had no idea that Jon Favreau played sax for Bon Iver
I come back to this set at least once every few months and I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking for but I know it exists here. It’s like the deepest validation I’ve ever felt for my uniquely painful experience as a human on the earth, as well as a glimpse into what could be, or what is, just beyond the veil of my ego - or my depression, or death, or something else. It’s both affirming my deepest pains and bringing out my inner beauty all at once. It’s the truth. Or at least a hint at it. And I’m not sure where else I’ve gotten that close to truth - maybe holding my daughters - but that’s a different kind of terrifying truth, both equal parts fear and love. I cannot define the experience his music brings me into but I cannot ignore its impact on me.
Just...yes
This is my first like on a UA-cam comment and first reply ever. It's comforting to read something that I can recognise within myself. At least, while we're here.
beautiful words!! thank you for sharing.
To learn from the sufferance is what motivates us to find and create ways to become better
This has to be one of the greatest concerts that exist on UA-cam.
8 circle is my number one favourite song ever
Man what a rendition of #29 Strafford APTS...PERFECT!
My fave too. I love this version than the recorded one.
I've been out of psychiatry for 3 months and I listen to this concert every time I'm feeling bad. It gives me strength to know that Justin Vernon has gone through the same agony as I have
sending you ❤️
Big love for you.
I am 41. I am engulfed in music my entire life. Nothing compares to this concert. In surround, it blew non-believers of mine, minds. Unbelievable. Absolutely.
If the drummer was even slightly less passionate it would have been totally different
The sax too: phrasing and melodies on this recording are so good.
@@stretch8390 absolutely...thats where the emotion really is.
I think the best thing about this video is how much positivity I've seen on this thread of comments. I've never seen so much analysis, appreciation, love, and just a genuine enjoyment of good, pure, emotional music. Any musician that can take us away from reality and put us in this wave of feeling is truly talented. A beautiful concert. My father always told me to spend money on experiences and not things; I would have done anything to see this performance live. But, nobody ever said the best experiences can't be free. Thanks, NPR! :-)
anytime I'm listening to Bon Iver on here, I come to the comments. It makes me so damn happy to see others connecting and relating to one another. You said it perfectly.
My dad has always said something similar. He said that if you are thinking about going to a concert or a big sporting event, or instead selling your ticket or just not buying one, you should always go. Because a few years down the line you won't be thinking, "I'm really glad I didn't spend that money." You will most likely be thinking, "Damn, I wish I had been there."
i was blessed to be there that night... texting my friend and reminiscing on what a true joy and experience it was. dig your positive comment.
Im jealous but a positive jealous i was not there but thanks for putting this on utube
I would even flip that and say his music takes us away from distraction and into pure reality.
I really Fuckin love UA-cam for giving me the opportunity to experience things like this. Nothing like being there but this is just simply amazing. This is truly one of the things I think the internet was made for.
Btw I feel like kanye and Justin meeting each other has been the best thing to happen to the music industry. You can hear the influences of kanye in justin and vice versa
I still come back to this video, year after year. What an amazing performance. I wish I got to witness this in person. The chokehold Heavenly Father has on me here is INSANEEE. Love Bon Iver FOREVER.
Beach baby does it for me! I don’t think I can listen to the record version anymore 😂
Who's here in almost 2022 and still feeling it!?!?!
Here in 2024 and not feeling it any less!!
8 (circle) summons so many emotions in me. Anyone else?
Peter Yoon yeah dude..
best one
Holds a special place in my heart after hearing it live, any time I'm feeling a bit numb I throw it on and immediately am overwhelmed with emotions in the best way possible
Oh yeah yeah

Saw them in Denver last week, truly incredible.
I have a feeling that in 20/30/40 years we will be looking back on Bon Iver and marveling at how they are truly one of the greatest acts of this time period. For Emma, Bon Iver, and 22 A Million will be considered classics, and those of us who listen now will forever carry the joy of being there when it happened. Thanks for doing what you do, Bon Iver!
Colin Farnsworth I agree. Like when our parents were there when Pink Floyd was coming up.
100% agree.
I think hindsight will prove how great they are and how ahead of their time they are.
Truly great music.
I’ve seen hundreds of shows... but their headline set at Mo Pop (2018) was one of the greatest most important experiences of my life. Can’t even believe I got to witness it at all.
@@yogibexargaming4600 I agree, and I am your parents age. I've seen it all, and this is as good as it gets.
@@squeakeththewheel Was just listening to a Pink Floyd song and remembered your comment. Wanted you to know I appreciate your insight.
I'm having the pleasure of listening this by the first time, wish me luck
2021 and still listening. Who’s with me? Also, NPR, sort out the ads...
I don't know how to carry on living when nothing will ever compare to this...
And now that you've seen this, how could you consent to dying now?...
Precisely, such a predicament!
Ellie Parker whats your instagram name? youre stunning
Ellie Parker I strive to become well enough known. that I can spend a week working on tracks with Justin Vernon. thats how I carry on
Ellie Parker I know I agree
I'm overwhelmed with emotions on 715 - CR∑∑KS

Adam Torzsok Music fucking overwhelming
Just came home from their show in Copenhagen. Tears were shed during this performance. Crowd was dead silent.
Kiddowesth are they touring Europe?
@@thomasleerling yep
I come back to this literally every couple months, it’s just that good
2024 and still so fantastic! Best concert I’ve ever seen. Please release this anytime soon.
I've listened to this three times already. Every song just kills. Interesting venue too. So narrow. I half expect Chewbacca and the gang to fall out of the ceiling.
CREEKS is just... beyond amazing.
Blake Davison on another level
Blake Davison fucking sick
I was sent a link to this tonight and CREEKS had me in tears. I've not even heard of Bon Iver until today.
How are there 1,000 people out there that could find anything wrong with this? It saves my life almost daily.
Who’s here in 2022 and still VIBING?
8 (circle) is truly a masterpiece. How the song gradually builds up to the "Astuary King"-part. Wonderful.

Good job !!
Lollll
Hahahaha
how's 10:50 'stoner song' and not 'best song evAr' dont understand
Holocene?
I can't explain it... I still watch it, 5 years later...
My favourite part is 0:00 until 1:06:05
The only downside to attending a Bon Iver concert is that I couldn't clap while holding my Bon Iver drinking wine... As it is my custom to drink wine when listening to Bon Iver.
It truly is red wine music.
😂
Mate wtf was wrong with the last second
Ditto
don't know why, but this makes feel the same way as M83's 'hurry up, we're dreaming' album. both bring up one of those rare moments in me where i feel like i have connected to the source of life and ultimately its beauty. and then i'm sitting there in the mid of the night listening to this masterpiece with tears in my eyes and i experience some different state of consciousness, if that makes sense. it's like the moment the music reaches your ears and eventually your brain, the perspective on life dissolves into a bunch of various feelings, resulting in pure joy and some sort of sadness as well. ah fuck it, idk how to describe this, words will never be enough to describe whatever is going on in me while listening to this stuff.
Michi Bornemann - I think what you’re describing is commonly referred to as “the feels.” Example: “oh man, this music gives me the feels.”
Love this so much. So magically, beautifully described. I'm relating so much. Bon Iver's music takes me there. Music is one of humanitys greatest mysteries
Exactly! This album is definitely one of them. For me, just like burial - untrue, bonobo - the north borders and James Blake - overgrown
HEY BRO I READ YOUR COMMENT AN MOST ARE NOT LIKE ME BUT IN READING SITTING IN THE MID NIGHT WHICH IS LIKE 3 AM FO ME ANYWAYS TEARS EXP I JUST WONDER WHERE I D BE W OUT MUSIC 2 KINDS GOOD AN NOT SOO GOOD BUT BON IVER/JASON VERNON IS GOOD COMPANY FOR ME IT HAS THE EFFECT TO KEEP ME MORE GROUNDED AN LEARN FROM LAST TIME SO ALSO WHEN I MEET HER AGAIN WHOM EVVA TO GIVE W OUT WANTING IN RETURN EXCEPT TRUE KINDNESS
bruh i feel u. m83 gives me the feels too
25:37 The way the vocoder follows his natural tremolo when he says "feet", it's so perfect.
Jasper Moore I couldn't agree more
That was so sick!
Just found this today. First time listener. Don't know how I snoozed on him so long. So glad I found him today. I just got laid off my job with literally no notice and this is the music that my soul needs right now.
Holy heck you’re in for a treat ! Listen to everything Bon iver does !
I remember seeing him that year and it’s the first time I had cried in the longest time.
Thanks, NPR!
Marcel Geitmann a
Thanks NPH
That Heavenly Father performance is OTHERWORLDLY. Absolutely breath taking
I can't stop coming back to this.
I always come back to this live when i lose sight of the sacred
This looks like a dream!
and it's an amazing dream
Katie Mae sure as any living dream!
its not all what it seems...(8)
Katie Mae Its what I will kill myself 2
I've been fan of this guy since 2010, I was 15 when I've discovered him and it totally changed my life. I purposly don't listen to Bon Iver for some month and come back to it's music then, and it feels like rediscovering it again and again. I'm so happy that this band exists, it changed my relation to music.
I don’t know if i would be able to stop listening to Bon Iver for months..
People don't realize the complexities of their music. It is genius!! Thank you Bon Iver.
If I could only listen to one concert for the rest of my life it’d be this one.
No one mentioning 00000 Million is a crime. The transformation from a piano ballad into a country rock masterpiece is beyond gorgeous. Amazing way to end an amazing show.
That version of Minnesota, WI should be recorded and released as a single. It is absolutely amazing!
I think, This the best Bon Iver live videos. Sounds and Visuals is perfectly awesome. Great job NPR Music.
Hands down my favourite. After my wife have birth to our first child, she was rushed away to surgery due to blood loss. I was left holding our 10 minute old baby on my own. After some precious time alone, I played this concert to her. She layed in my arms staring at me the entire time. She's now one and we watch this together each Saturday morning and whenever she is upset. Now it's our favourite.
Bon Iver albums are a journey, always having a beautiful destination to arrive at, "Re: Stacks", "Beth/Rest" and now "00000 Million". In a world of 'just hit random', JV still crafts albums (and shows) as stories. Beautiful.
Agreed - true artistry.
This changed my perspective on the entire album in a beautiful way. :)
“Said I woulda walked across any thousand lands
I didn't need you that night
Not gonna need you anytime
Was gonna take it as it goes
I could go forward in the light
Well I better fold my clothes.”
^ I cannot stop re-watching this pre-chorus in 33 ‘God’ - incredible.
> Said I would have walked across any thousand lands. (No, not really if I can't.)
Don't know why, but that immediate negation makes me feel like he knows he isn't truthful when he says that. It casts the whole song in this unreliable light which gives it a whole new meaning. Love it.
@@VK-pk8uz I see it as Vernon understanding how much he was willing to sacrifice himself for the betterment of someone else but finding solace in himself after the breakdown of the relationship. It's both heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once, defiant almost.
This right here is the worlds greatest roller coaster.
i think i came twice while listening to this.
Justin Vernon is a freaking genius
SAME
At least twice here....
Got to be honest, wasn't feeling the album but hearing it live has changed everything... :')
I'm not really feeling it either, but he has a concert coming up in Louisville, KY, and I liked his old stuff, should i go?
Noah Baker yes!
It's one of those that grows on you...I'm sure it has already
Joseph Critchley its so Mitch better live
Joseph Critchley Liked 3 Songs tbh
The problem with this performance is that it's so good, all the songs off 22 a million are actually better here than on the studio recording so I can't listen to them. I have to come here and listen to this instead. Thanks NPR.
So true. Significantly better here
YES.
Couldn’t agree more. This needs to be put into an album in streaming services.
