It seems like the greatest injustice ever that For Emma could be considered the worst of an artists catalogue.

I find it hard to separate For Emma and Bi,Bi as 1, then 22am at 3 and i,i at 4.
I also realise that Bi, Bi is a much better record than Emma, I can’t ever downplay what Emma meant to me at the time though

 

I wish I liked i,i more. It was a big disappointment for me.

 

Yeah, this whole comment is how I feel. The first two are masterpieces, the third is very good, i,i is handily the weakest. That record feels like such an overstuffed mess to me.

 

Love i,i

 

I agree that there's more "filler" on i,i than on any of his previous records but the highs are so high that I don't care

 

Saw them tonight. Wow is all I can say.

 

Speaking of, I’m still trying to sell two tickets to the Pittsburgh show at face value for anyone interested!!

 

Got to see them for the first time last night. First concert since Aug 18, 2019. Cried three times.

 

Damn y’all got Beach Baby!

 

Hopeful for a re-do. Saw them at the same exact venue a few years ago and drunk audience members in the pit ruined the show. Seeing the setlist, it looks like a lot of i,i which I'm not super jazzed on. Hoping they pull out at least 5 songs from the first two albums. I just don't understand 10 death breasts lol.

Will probably just try to enjoy the vibe and sounds of the evening.

 

Imagine coming online and saying you don’t get 10 death breast

 

just sounds too fuckified for me.

 

10deathbreast fucking ruled live. When that sub-bass hits, all my organs were vibrating.
The only tracks that I really wish they’d done are 45 and Naeem.

 

22, A Million
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
For Emma, Forever Ago
i,i

I just love his trajectory from the cabin to the fields to frickin' space for 22AM. You also can never tell me that his second album doesn't have a comma in it, the way places do.

 

hot take

bi, bi has just as much filler as i,i

 

Sometimes I see it written as Bon Iver and I'm like "Oh, what's that album? I don't think I've heard that one."

Totally a comma.

 

It's even written that way on streaming services!

 

What can I say, they're wrong!

 

wtf, that's absolutely bizarre

 

Is there an opener at all shows?

 

yes, it was Dijon for my date. Forgot which dates he’s open if not all of them

 

Catching them live tonight in Pittsburgh at an outdoor venue on a beautiful night. Only my second time seeing em. Ready for the spiritual rejuvenation that it’s sure to be.

 

I will be there too! Are you there yet? I’m about to head down now I think they go on around 8.

 

it’s so nice out. too many people though imo. some should vacate
