Bon Iver: Full Concert | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

  • 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.

    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.

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.

    It's so much fun to read the comment sections of the Bon Iver RUclips 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.

Any musician that can take us away from reality and put us in this wave of feeling is truly talented. A beautiful concert.

    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.

    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.

      Ditto on the chills. They truly nailed that transition with technical skill AND emotion. Just powerful.

      YES. The first time I heard it, I was so blown away I even had tears welling up. Incredible.

    That version of Minnesota, WI should be recorded and released as a single. It is absolutely amazing!

    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.

    It’s starting to show that Bon Iver is the one of the most excellent bands of this new alternative rock generation

    probably the only live concert i keep returning to. the acoustics, the mixing, the band *vibing* and the mass of the lyrics and poly-instrumental collaboration. it's a 10/10 and should be 10x the listeners. our 'lil secret i suppose ;)
