a pleasant surprise. Although I’ve adored Bon Iver’s music since I first heard “For Emma” in 2008, I went to this show for Leslie Feist. The Reminder is one of those rare perfect albums that strike the balance of writing, personnel and production most artists never achieve. To see her perform those songs and so many others from her amazing career was something I wasn’t gonna miss. Her band was terrific, filling out her guitar and voice (that voice!) with some great depth and character. That it was an awesome opening show was no surprise … but the headlining Bon Iver was. Justin Vernon’s songs, so delicate on disc, were jacked up for the stage to my great delight. And the touring band was huge, stacked with multi-instrumentalists hopping from setup to setup enthusiastically. You never knew what to expect next. And that, friends, is why we go to see concerts.
