Bon Iver is a must see whenever he visits your town. So Friday night at the Aware Super Theatre was clearly a case in point. Seen Justin Vernon and his band a couple of times previously but not for a while. Missed his last tour and then a 2020 tour was cancelled because of the pandemic. So Friday night was much anticipated and let me tell you it was all pretty great. Bon Iver is quite a show these days. Far removed from the quiet acoustic days. But it all comes together beautifully with a very talented band playing several instruments, backing up the wonderful vocals of Vernon. Across four albums he delighted a sold out crowd. Obviously leaning more on the last two. From his latest I was especially excited to hear 'Naeem' and it did not let me down as the very last song played. But my absolute favourites were older classics. 'Skinny Love' obviously but especially 'Re: Stacks' which was just superb. 'Holocene' was also wonderful and was hugely received. All in all a wonderful night from an extremely talented artist.
