This video is so epic. The performance is insane, and the fact that it was filmed from TV gives it a vintage look, like we aren’t watching just some video on the internet, we’re now watching a documentary about the legend that was Bon Iver, and at this moment his family friends and bandmates are all talking about it as the moment that made him. “I think it was around the Fallon performance,” a grizzled Jagjaguwar executive says into camera behind a cigarette, “when things really changed for him. i mean, that voice. Shit’s golden, man.”
And if you liked the video, then ho-lee buckets you need to check out the comments. Just grade A internet flame-warrin right there folks. Textbook.
