so really quickly before I run off to set.

I went to see Bon Iver last night at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Let’s first quickly say, that I had a bitch getting tickets prior to going down to the venue, I look on craigslist for both days (bowery the night before) and I couldn’t find tickets. There were a ton of people looking online but barely anyone selling. And the ones that were selling were selling for like … 80, 90 dollars for two tickets. WTF? the face value was 15.

My roommate and I went down to the venue and sat down there at like 830 and got tickets (for face value) from two very cool people within 5 mins of each other.

We go to the Greenpoint Tavern, I drink… 64 ounces of Bud. Wow.

Anyway, we show up, and the fucking show is amazing. Really beautiful, the sound is crisp and the crowd is quiet, for the most part. There were a few cringe inducing, “Do you have a girlfriend”s and “I love you”s… Ugh. He did a new song called “Blood Bank” and a Talk Talk cover and ended with an encore of Skinny Love.

Really really great show.

However… there were a few things that really bothered me about it. I swear that 85 % of the venue didn’t know the music. Is it possible that Skinny Love itself sold out Bowery and Music Hall? I kept looking around, no one was mouthing along, singing or even looked as if they knew the songs, is that weird?

Also, he ended with an encore of Skinny Love. I know I know. but really? ending with the hit?

One last thing, sweatshirts were 40 dollars and vinyl was 20. What?? 40 dollar sweatshirts? Where am I, urban outfitters? And the LP was 20? Not special edition, no extra tracks, just the vinyl that you can get on Jagjaguwar’s site for I am sure at most 15.

Anyway, besides all that, it was truly a beautiful show. GO and see him when he visits, just buy a ticket early, expect to be the only one singing along and know that Skinny Love will be the encore. (oh yeah and don’t buy a sweatshirt)
