    Hey man not sure if you'll see this but I haven't been to any of the NYC shows. But I do know but from reading around that the show usually actually starts at 8:30pm. People were lining upside 4-5 hours before doors.

    Fucking enjoy what you're about to see!!

    Thanks! We had a great time, though we did unfortunately miss Gordi's opening set.

    I've really come around on this record and it's been an interesting journey to say the least. Nobody ever reviewed it for the site, so I wrote a bit about it for EOTY coverage:

    Great review @Craig Manning im glad you've learned to love this album. I never hated it or even disliked it but I did need some time to figure out exactly what it was doing and why. Now it's my AOTY and maybe my second favorite BI album

    Thanks! I'm glad I kept coming back to it. It's probably the album I've been playing most this month, since the snow arrived. Not sure how I'd rank the BI albums at this point. They're all so great.

    Great show. No matter how many times I watch Vernon live I always end up back in the Calgary video from the opera theatre performance.

    You as well.

    666 might be my least favorite track on the record but this version is insane.

    I realize I'm triple posting at this point but I don't want anyone to ever forget about this song



    "89" is in the vinyl art and original track list. It was supposed to be apart of the album but he said it just "didn't fit".
    Currently Bon Iver is following "89" people on instagram. Their actual post count is at 88 and every time they post a show flyer, they erase an older picture.

    December 27th will mark the "89th" day 22, A Million has been out. I'm almost positive Justin is going to drop the song on that day. In my opinion it's the best thing he's ever written under the Bon Iver name.

    This Brooklyn performance is unreal. I'm getting emotional.

    Listening right now and regretting putting this at number 11 on my end of year list. Should've put this top 10

    Think it sounds even better with snow on the ground

    I'm a little late to the party, but this post is crazy. I couldn't find a studio version of "89" Did it get released?

    Did you listen to the Brooklyn set? Do that.
