Bon Iver Gig - Cover Songs

Ichiro

Hello all,

If anyone was at the Bon Iver gig at Tri pod tonight, twas great

Just want to know the cover songs they played,
I know one was Talk Talk's I believe in You,

Can anyone help with the rest?

Thanks

Bip

Don't know the names of the cover songs, and I agree that the gig was amazing but I have to say, it was the worst crowd I have ever come across. People talked/ shouted the whole way through, had their backs to the stage, kept going to the bar, I could go on and on here.. Such a pity because the music was amazing.

I refuse to go to Tripod for quiet gigs for pretty much this reason. Its excellent for dance gigs but it gets too uncomfortable standing in a jammed crowd with no one moving. Saw them in Primavera in the Auditorium in Barcelona. All seated and properly air conditioned with excellent acoustics.

Pip,

I agree, such a weird crowd from the first gig.
The first one was quite relaxed and people appreciated the music.
This one was like a rowdy battle of the bands gig (well not so much)
I tracked down the cover songs
so we can all relax!

But they escape me know

Tbh I think I'll give him a miss in the National Stadium.

Heading to Micah P Hinson at Crawdaddy not that is gonna be good!

Had to come on to vent about the gig.

Firstly, Bon Iver is/are insanely talented and put on such a great show. Bon himself seemed like a really sound guy and dealt with everything very well.
The crowd were something else though. Bunch of ****. While I don't mind some funny shouting (the "Happy Birthday"/"We Love You" stuff), some spa was shouting "hurry up" when they came on. Another shouting "Who are ya" at the other band member. wtf?

Tripod itself is such a dump. I've only ever been there on dance nights - which admittedly were fine - but I won't ever go near it again for anything acoustic or mellow. 40 minute wait in a sweaty mess while some simp tries to fix something that should have been attended to in the afternoon? Ruining all the quiet acoustic songs with a noisy fan plus awful sound system? The hiss off the speakers was brutal. Bringing out the bottles mid gig? Piling everyone through the only exist while people on each side try to buy shirts or get jackets? Absolute mess from the get go.

What's National Stadium like as a venue? I'd like to see them play somewhere decent for a change.

Was at the last Micah gig at Crawdaddy. Was amazing and ran hilariously late as well as he played 2hrs on top of the two support but there was also an idiot drunk shouting through it (in appreciation but still very distracting) as well. Sometimes I think Irish crowds are too polite with regards dealing with disruptive people.

Thanks guys, yay I don't feel so mean and petty anymore. On a funny note some guy did call out, I LOVE YOU DON..... Pretty much sums up the crowd! Grr I wish I could meet Mr Vernon and tell him there were some sober and quiet people there who think he's wonderful!

Pretty much agree with the crowd bashing, far too many a-holes, i'll be using avoision when it comes to certain gigs in this venue from now on.

Here here, Bon Iver was amazing back in June. Tuesday night just didn't do it for me. The crowd, the noisy air con and the stink in Tripod all detracted from the show. Not sure whether filling out the arrangements with keyboard and bass is such a good idea either.
Still love the album and very glad i was there first time around.

what was that he said about always ending up in this room at the end of a tour.

I assumed by this room he meant "tripod"

didn't he play in whelans the last time.

the olympia would have been better venue for this gig than tripod.

ot: hope promoters put on another night for Fleet Foxes

It was tripod in June but they had the seats out and and a couple of rows of candle lit tables up the front. Different atmosphere altogether.

tbh, I'd like to see him in the National Concert Hall. And yes, I'd love another Fleet Foxes date.

A boxing arena (National stadium) ain't the same place as the national concert hall.

I loved the keyboards et al, if they weren't there all i'd have been able to hear were people asking: Is that Don Iver there?

Looks to be a hole in Fleet Foxes schedule on the sixth but Vicar St isnt free so I can't see a second date happening unless they stick em in Tripod.

I know, but the Concert hall would be perfect for a gig like Bon Iver.

Ah that could be too far, a seated show in tripod may have been ok, one in vicar street would be fine too, seated that is, i think that the majority of more active fans hear about it first and get tickets early so with a seated show they'll be mostly closer to the front and all together. That said i'll def give his next show a miss and hope to see him after he has a new ablum out.
