"Wolves" was incredible with the crowd participation, just one of those special moments you can only have at a live show. Brett, MBD performed "Flume" with Bon Iver back in May at the Dark Was The Night benefit show in NYC. I filmed it and you can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xahp7PZLbHw Great review Heather, echos many of the sentiments I had when I saw the band several months back. “Wolves” was incredible with the crowd participation, just one of those special moments you can only have at a live show.

I choose poorly! Thanks for the ernest review that gave me glimpe inside the Ogden that night. Enjoyed the pre-game at Streets, but sure wish I would have been able to follow through with the show.

I gather that the Denver show was as fantastic as the Boulder one - equally amazing performance with equally stuffy packed house. While I value bands that have been around forever who play all your favorites over the course of a night, it is equally amazing when a band just has all good songs and plays almost all of those.

I just saw him at Sasquatch and even in the context of a music festival, he was mesmerizing. The sing-along during Wolves even drowned out the sound of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from another stage. PS - no one but me seemed to recognize her, but Justin brought out Sharon Whiting (My Brightest Diamond) to sing on Flume. It was beautiful and I've been wondering since if its a sign that there's some collaboration between them. MBD wasn't playing the festival, so I'm not sure why she was in the middle of Central Washington. Did she make an appearance at your show? You’ve captured the essence of a Bon Iver show perfectly.
