Back On Stages #2: Bon Iver - Blindsided

[misteranonymousguy]

glowing genius gently growling

[sleepiswhatido]

I wish my beard was as majestic as Justin Vernon's is. Maybe then i could play music as good as him, yea that's the answer to his talent.

[benfinnmusic]

No dislikes. Now that's saying something.

[a1saucecool]

not one dislike

[TheLongestMile]

can't believe he is working with kanye west...very sad

[zimzalabims]

@TheLongestMile what? he's workin' with kanye? hmmppff.. that ruin it a bit..

[jippzmcghee]

@TheLongestMile why is that sad? I'm not a Kanye fan, but it was Kanye West that flew him out to hawaii to do work on KANYE's record. And regardless of his poor attitude in the media, Kanye West is a very very good producer. If anything, that situation just shows how great Justin Vernon is

[Creamy360]

god damn fucking amazing

[DiscoGabe]

I thoroughly enjoy listening to this song.

[guitarguy182182182]

might be a stupid question, but does he have two mics, one closer than the other, to sort of echo his voice a bit?

[bLackmarketRadio]

@guitarguy182182182

it's actually a way to prevent feedback. it works the same as a the phase cancellation of a humbucking pickup on an electric guitar.

i was there, at this show, just before Bon Iver's wave crested and broke on an unsuspecting general fan-dom at large. perfectly suited to the size and atmosphere of the venue, they had the audience rapt. it was the best pairing of artist and venue this music enthusiast has ever seen. i felt this track was highlight of the set. electric. it gave me goosebumps then, and still does when i listen to and watch it now. thanks for filming this and posting.

[jamesbarber4]

I love the recorded version of this song, but he took this song to another level!

[B0b0Th3H0b0]

who the fuck let steve vai write a bon iver solo

[TheLongestMile]

@B0b0Th3H0b0 Justin Vernon

[Got2ski75]

Bon Iver shapes life in the way I wish it was always shaped.

[oscarkev190]

wow great solo even better than the myspace sessions version.

anyone know where those lyrics he sings just before the "would you really rush out" part are from?

[DarkKyouto]

The solo!!! I think this song is perfect with that solo, sooo much better than the album version (and that's quite a compliment.) Almost as good a version as the NPR concert.

Totally obsessed with this song right now.

[theeuphioquestion]

Love it.

[BrandNew23]

indie needs more solos like this

[anatomyofluke]

@BrandNew23 No. I'm sick of "Indie" bands copying each other and all sounding the same. Bon Iver is different and for that reason, they are one of my favorite bands.

[cbooth27]

@BrandNew23 Life needs more solos like this

[aNPSbrandon]

soloooo... get some justin.. yess

[jdavsav]

justin (bon iver) just mixed a new album for the group "daredevil christopher wright"....supposed to be another quality sound from this bright young man

[megmyatt]

fucking genius

[insertbandname99]

in case of any confusion, Bon Iver is french for Good Winter...coming from his stay in northern wisconsin

[ISYPan]

Awesome!  I really liked the solo!

[sundinDT182]

solo?!

YES haha

[BigPoeCatching]

get er' done bon!

[ilovemutemath]

you know that's not his name, right?

[Philfa]

I don't think he does...

[patrickmchugh]

His name's Justin Vernon, Bon Iver is a phonetic spelling of bon hiver (french for good winter)

[Philfa]

I know, genius. Along with "ilovemutemath," I was mocking "BigPoeCatching." Slow on the uptake, are we?

[Cam3210]

I don't think that was aimed at you.

[Philfa]

Then why did I receive an email notification about it?

[warrenmusic]

wow, great capture

thanks lablogotheque and cameraphonic!!!

[iamlameduck]

kinda has a weak live voice

[oxoticfrenzy]

Bon is cool

[Holger03]

Holler from Wisconsin! I am so excited to meet him on Friday!

[wondergirl83]
