These tickets were going for insane prices, and every nights show was sold out. However, we had amazing luck to weasel these tickets for 10 dollars a piece! Unheard of. (after getting free tickets to the US open, and now these tickets to Bon Iver, we are becoming masters at good deals) Basically, I contacted this guy who was selling his tickets last minute, because something came up and he couldn't go. We met in Midtown and when he didn't have change for the amount I was suppose to pay, he decided that since we are new to NYC that he would give them to us for just 20 dollars! Wow, I was so happy! :) People are so generous.
All we kept saying all night was "this was the best 20 dollars ever spent!" ....the concert was seriously AMAZING. I've seen a decent amount of concerts, and this was definitely in the top 3 best ever. It was such a production. The acoustics, the music, the venue, the lighting, the backdrop--everything was incredible.
A little background on Bon Iver, they are an Indie Folk Band from Wisconsin who in 2012 won the Grammy award for best new artist, as well as the award for best alternative music album. This band is special to Scot and me because we were both (and still are) in love with them all last year and while we were dating. They are seriously so talented--especially lead singer Justin Vernon. His voice is unreal.
The songs from their hit album, For Emma, Forever Ago, were actually written and first recorded while Justin was staying alone in a cabin for 3 months in northwestern Wisconsin. Man, from cabin to Radio City Music Hall--these guys are a must see. We had an absolute BLAST!
Here is a video of them singing their hit, Skinny Love. Don't mind Scot singing along in the background hahaha little cutie.
I loved Scot's singing. I hope those around you did also!! You guys are really living it up there in the Big Apple.
