Bon Iver

Anyone at the Bon Iver gig last night (2nd Dec) at the National Stadium?
Thought it was absolutely amazing - an artist who is actually bothered about delivering a heartfelt live show. Not too long but you can't have everything (only has 1 album and an ep).

I knew it was on. Didnt have the time or the money to make it up there though:(. I'd say it was an awesome gig. I heard the crowd really gets behind him!

Who supported?

shakespeare

very talented guy by all accounts...
love the album...
read some review on him in smaller venues and they are all very compliamentry...

I was there, very disappointed. I'm a big fan of the For Emma album but I don't think he cut it live. The band weren't very tight, the sound was awful, way too much low end, too much ebow, not enough kick or beat to anything.
A few of the simpler songs still worked but over all it wasn't great. In their defence it was the first gig of a european tour so they were bound to be nervous, and their regular sound engineer was off doing sound in the olympia that night... but still.

Sarah Siskind, a country-ish singer from Tennessee was the support. Paul Brady got up and sang a song with her, it was very good

flack

Was the Tallest Man On Earth Supporting him?!? If so fuuuuuuuuuuuuck can't believe I missed it

Bon Iver blew me away
I have never been to a gig where everything was so silent and everyone just sits and listens but I loved it. So relaxing
I had goosebumps.
Justin seems so nice, he thanked us for "coming out" after each song.
Aww it was everything I thought it would be and more.

It was amazing. I've been listening to this album since early August.
Took a while to grow on me but i can't get enough of it.
The concert was fantastic. I especially liked how the songs were changed slightly from the album, and the drum beats behind " Skinny Love" were out of this world.

Justin Vernon is seriously talented. The whole story behind the Album is intrigueing..
