I had a very similar spine-tingling experience when I saw Bon Iver for the first time at Sasquatch in May. It’s not every day you get to hear everyone singing along wholeheartedly like that. Here is a vid of “Wolves” with great sound quality:

AND PEARL JAM!!!!
But I know what you’re saying about Bon Iver and the Wolves Act I and II. I didn’t have many expectations for Bon Iver’s set this year at Sasquatch! but after they finished I was convinced I saw the best set of the entire festival – and my fondest memory was when they did Wolves, with the sun just set, and full side-stage crowd singing along. Sometimes I close my eyes and I relive that moment because it was one of the strongest, most vivid concert memories of my life.

first of all, i remember my wife and i walking right behind, and ultimately standing right next to, nels cline [whom my wife calls "the masturbating guitarist" for his prodigious use of the whammy bar] for the whole bon iver/ outside lands experience. he appeared super nice [i didn't talk to him] and was just as into the set as everyone else around. pretty freaking cool.

on to the bon iver set. it was, next to radiohead and wilco, probably the set i was looking the most forward to of the whole weekend, and it didn’t disappoint. “the wolves” certainly was a highlight. and my wife sarah has had a major crush on justin vernon [only her crush on sam beam is bigger] ever since.

glad to hear you’re going to make it back this year, heather– are you going to check out a certain friday night headliner? hope to see you there.

I’m headed to San Fran for Outside Lands this year too. It will be my first time there, but the line up is great.

One of my favorite concert memories was also the sing-a-long of The Wolves. We caught Bon Iver at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill (where Megafaun opened up for him, a reunion of sorts) the night before For Emma was released in February 2008. I’ve still never seen a crowd so completely absorbed by the music.

Here are some videos from that night: http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid:188373
