Top Comments of this video!! :3
I’ve been watching recordings of Bon Iver perform Blood Bank live for the past couple weeks. I’m so amazed at how he can take such a stripped-back, slow burning song, and turn it into a whole multi-faceted experience in a live setting. I really admire the way he uses live performances to reinvent his songs.

I was at the St.Louis show last weekend. First time seeing him live in person. Being in a sea of people who all have this strong feeling and emotional connection with an artist's work is unlike anything I had experienced.
I stood for most of the songs, occasionally gripping the seat in front of me like a church pew. The venue was outdoors but with a canopy. By the end of the show it felt like the a southern Baptist tent church revival. He ended the show saying "Now go out and spread love" .

100% agree about opening acts!
I saw the brilliant Phil Cook open up for The Tallest Man on Earth, who I've definitely enjoyed more of.
And definitely The Staves opening up for Sean Carey was brilliant! It was at Village Underground in Shoreditch and I could have sworn Justin Vernon walked right past me wearing a red cap in a very concealing manner, great times of my youth in retrospect.

Duuude! Idk if you know this and didn't mention it bc it's not the topic of the video ...but.... Anais Mitchell is the person who wrote Hadestown (a now musical) and on the studio album (~2009) Justin Vernon sings Orpheus, one of the main characters! (Anais sings Eurydice) Love to see them both in a video together again ^-^

I saw them in Atlanta this past April and then again a week later on St Augustine just because it was such a good show. The set lists were also totally different! While there was some overlap in the songs they played, the order they played them in was totally different. I brought my family, many of who had little to no experience with his music, and they were all blown away. Blood Bank and 10 d E A T h b R E a s T will remain peak moments of live music for the rest of my life.

I saw Bon Iver a week earlier on June 4 in Pittsburgh. I came all the way from Canada to go see them and I can say it was definitely worth it. The most amazing concert and one of the best experiences in my life. I wasn’t expecting to see you post this video but I am so glad you did as more people need to experience them live.

During an interview that Justin Vernon had with Ezra Koenig on Time Crisis. They both geeked out over the Grateful Dead and how it has influenced them to build a better live show. I haven’t been to Bon Iver yet but I saw Vampire Weekend and it had a similar feeling. They would change songs to better showcase the talents of their musicians. I hope more artists go in this direction as most of the revenue for musicians is made through live shows.
