Bon Iver

[cutterbutter]

Spreckels is pretty much the best venue of this bunch for them, IMO. I did love the Shrine though for the AF shows. Thanks for the link!

[TallGuyCM]

Bon Iver on Fallon again tonight, not a rerun of when he was on a few weeks ago apparently.

[nationocean]

I fucking hate the Shrine.

[cutterbutter]

Why the hate?

[suprefan]

Cause he probably went to HARD and doesnt know there is a nice theater attached to it.

[ficklecycle]

I might make a small trip out of the San Diego show. Get a hotel for the night, during the day hit up Sea World and the Zoo, go to the show and bar hopping at night.

[ZachTheEskimo]

I'm pretty sure my perception of the popularity of bands is completely off, because these seem like venues far too huge for Bon Iver to me.

So explain how what I have listed below makes him look ''unpopular'' and ''too small'' for the venues he is playing?


United Palace Theater - NYC
Capacity: 3,293
SOLD OUT

Chicago Theater
Capacity: 3600
SOLD OUT

Riverside Theatre - Milwaukee, WI
Capacity:2,460
Night 2 SOLD OUT
Night 1 almost sold out

Let them think it Chris. Less people trying at on-sale time.

[suprefan]

I wouldnt worry about the onsale too much.

[Grant]

Is it just me or are Justin Vernon's lyrics hard to interpret most of the time? Sounds like he's wailing over and over.

Oh I wasn't saying that he's unpopular by any means, I was just sort of shocked to see him playing the same venues as Arcade Fire. As well as pointing out my own egregious misunderstanding of music popularity.

[suprefan]

Considerign last time Bon Iver was here, and he performed to almost 5000 people over the course of a weekend, and that was in 09, tell me how they are far off on gauging things?



edit: oh yeah, Arcade fire played Spreckels in 07, too big for Bon Iver?

I'm not saying he should be in smaller venue, or anything of the like, I think it's great. I was simply expressing personal bewilderment as I didn't realize he was quite that popular.

[tessalasset]

Chris you don't always have to be so aggressive for no reason. It's tiring.

[ZachTheEskimo]

Chris just doesn't like me because I had fun at FYF.

[tessalasset]

No, he's like that to everyone. It's like he has blinders on when he responds or something. Complete tunnel vision compared to what is happening in the thread. It's weird.

[ZachTheEskimo]

I was only joking.

[tessalasset]

I know but I'm not.

I've been to a bunch of non-massive shows there. I just dislike a lot of things about the venue and sound, getting there in general.. the neighborhood. ughs.

No thanks.

[cutterbutter]

It's a lot of effort on a monday night, I agree. I like the venue though.

[tessalasset]

No effort is too big for Bon Iver.

such an awesome performance. definitely going to the SD show

[lovesthebeat]

I love his cover of Bonnie Raitt's song titled " I can't make you love me".
His music for me is a grower, at first I wasn't too keen but after a while I loved it.

[MissingPerson]

Out of interest, is Colin Stetson touring with him?

Its doesn't look like it, I haven't seen any where that says he is, although I might be wrong on this!

[MissingPerson]

The reactions to his bit in the Youtube comments of the Colbert performance are awesome.
