Bon Iver Live From Radio City

On the third night of a four-night stint at Radio City Music Hall, Bon Iver sauntered on stage in front of an almost sold out crowd, with frontman Justin Vernon only exclaiming a quick, “Cool!” before bursting into “Perth,” the first track of what would be a mind-blowing set. The eight-piece band, comprising strings, horns, keys and auxiliary percussion among others, played through all of its most recent album, Bon Iver, a couple of tracks from the Blood Bank EP and only one For Emma, Forever Ago track in the main set (“Creature Fear”).

Directed by —, Bon Iver Live From Radio City leans on a strong ensemble — Justin Vernon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2012.
