we drove more than 3 hours each way for the chance to be in the same room as this man:
and his band, bon iver.
one of my top faves, and it didn't disappoint!
they were great in person, with a total of nine members on stage and awesome combo of instruments: two drummers, base sax, several guitars, another percussionist (who beat boxed several times), violins, and other wind instruments.
their first full length album is more acoustic, which i typically love. but he's really developed his sound and this is the sold-out tour with his second major release. he went in a really bold direction, but it works.
and it made a great live concert experience.
part of what i enjoy about the concert experience is people watching. all the cool indie kids were there, dressed all hip and vintage chic.
but what i love is the occasional odd ball, like the old guy or the business-like middle aged couple.
good music brings you together.
