did you liked 22 a million?

Why listen to this one then? Its a subpar sequel.

Two listens in, my Bon Iver ranking is: 2, 1, 3, 4. This one hasn't really grabbed me yet.

Well shit. Last night was one of the best shows ive seen in recent memory.

The new album sounds absolutely incredible live.

Between Justin Vernon and Sharon van Etten....last night i was brought to the proverbial knee from moments of pure artistry and emotion. Sharon Van Etten is a powerhouse and i highly suggest seeing her.

And if you have any desire to see Bon Iver....its a must.

This guy:

I'm so glad that I eventually gave 22, a Million a second chance after being initially put off by it. Really getting into that album meant I was in the right mindset for i,i, and I disagree with anyone who thinks the latter is a poor follow up to the former. It's an obvious evolution from 22, a Million, for sure, but it also tidily folds in elements of Bon Iver, Bon Iver and even tiny bits of For Emma to encompass the whole project arc. Justin's come a long way from that first album, and I feel that he's reached the point where his ambitious arrangements and production are fully integrated with his emotive songwriting.

Saw them Saturday night. Best sound I've ever heard live. Just spot on. Unfortunately, Bon Iver organization have done a horrible job scouting venues to ensure their lightshow fits. The mirror part of the show couldn't fit in the venue they played, so visually we only got about 1/3 of that part of the show.

Strat - Did they have the mirrors for your show?

That's unfortunate to hear! Ill be curious how there show in Mpls goes.

I saw them at an outdoor ampitheatre of roughly 3,000 capacity. So, no. No lights. But the stage show itself was enough. Just incredible.

Do it. Even with the limited light show it is worth it. Just don't expect all his hits. Skinny Love is a rarity, 22 (OVER SooN) is not a set staple. In Vancouver he played the whole new album.

fuck skinny love

He should close with a cover of Brown Eyed Girl. That would be nice.
