Hard to say honestly. I mean everyone has favourite Bon songs, but to pinpoint one from that performance is entirely different being that they rearrange and revisit their songs live.

When Justin does the thing at 2:07 !!! Justin Vernon has a way of portraying his emotions so purely in his art. In my opinion that's what makes Bon Iver so great, the honesty in the music is like none other out there, and every single performance I've seen by them has that unique honesty that says "I know I'm playing for the masses, but these lyrics, these verses, this melody, this is all so personal" and that makes Bon Iver one of the best out there.

And for the love of those we loose. No other musical performance I’ve seen or heard touch my heart as much as this one. Amazing! Don’t know how many of those 3,2mn views are mine, but for sure the video I’ve watched most times on KZread.

Man, I don't even know where to begin with Justin DeYarmond Edison Vernon. There's something so seemingly normal about him, but in every little thing he does, he has a magic that nearly no other human has been able to harness before. His ear is so subtle, so complex, and so unique. He makes music out of everything, from the little sounds he hears elsewhere, to the dribbling, effortless flow of his fingers on a nylon-strung acoustic. Vernon uses unconventional things to create walls of sound, like sample work or a half dozen saxophones. And he puts so much love, emotion, and nonverbal self expression into the sounds he makes. If I could not understand english, Vernon's ideas alone would still be able to make me cry on a regular basis. And then there's his poetry. It's so indescribably complex; using an elaborate codex of words and phrases, as well as true coherance of other things. In every song, Vernon gives out a personal story, and at the same time, he writes cryptically, creating what is essentially a hodge podge of indecipherable sentences. And yet, somehow, there's a story in there, every time without fail. And the beauty of Justin's music is all of the aforementioned things, as well as a creative space for all sorts of people. And he implements the ideas and cadences of other people within his works, and that willingness to listen to others' ideas and work alongside them illustrates Vernon's ability to merge his own thoughts and creative sparks with those of colleagues and artists, which would make Bon Iver one of the biggest group collaborations possibly of all time. I have nothing but love for Bon Iver, DeYarmond Edison, Volcano Choir, or anything else Vernon has associated himself with. He has a completely different understanding of music, and he is a master of what he does. No one else could quite replicate exactly what it is that Justin Vernon does. He's an anomaly.

It’s because you know about it. You’ve been standing there (and you’re attentive, and sensitive): you know about it. And that is human

This feels like losing something while you still have it. Like you know you're losing faith in the one you love. You both say things just to hurt each other. It's anger, frustration, regret, blame, caring, and this cold lump you can't get down your throat.

How do I absorb this into my soul

I truly believe that some people are simply vessels for divine music to flow through while they have time here on earth. I was not raised religious but I've always felt a yearning for a closeness to God even though I have a hard time believing. What an emotional ride this was.

People often mistaken God by attributing God to an extremely specific set of characteristics which is just wrong. God is really just the all encompassing source to everything and music helps you tune into that unity that makes you forget your separateness which is what we all long for. I encourage you to play music with spirituality in mind, you don’t have to be religious to allow yourself into the state of flow.

We are so lucky to have this

Found this last night, Ive watched it 9 times already. I just can't handle this.

It's been 7 years since Bon Iver performed 'Cercle' at the Sydney Opera House and we can't let it go. We caught up with Justin Vernon and music journalist/Bon Iver tragic, Al Newstead, to talk about the incredible performance and what it means to them >> kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZZicztigqtKpZ8o.html

I know isn't there just. I wait for it in anticipation every time.

I will ALWAYS come back to this video

3 years ago I lived in London. 3 years ago I met a man that was a sad man. I wanted to very much befriend him and sure enough, it happened. We spent the entire day together smiling and sharing stories of our lives. By the evening we had made it back to his flat (amazing bathroom). We ate Thai and he showed me this song by Bon Iver and the video made me very emotional. I could feel everything my new friend had felt about his life. After the night I hugged him and went on my way. 2 weeks later I message him and he had told me he moved back to the countryside to be with his family to deal with some mental health problems. I could never remember his number and I lost it when I bought a new phone. Jay where ever you are, whoever you may be now or even if you're still alive I hope one day to meet you again and that you have healed. You were and are a beautiful friend. Xx

Imagine a Bon Iver and Mumford & Sons collaboration...... Tears will flow,

who else would LOVE to see an a capella Bon Iver album??

At 3:16, "Well I know about it darling I've been standing here". I've never heard such real and raw passion come from an artist before. Gave me chills. Justin Vernon is one of the greats

I’ll never forget this night. The recording here is beautiful, but nothing will top the live acoustics of the Opera House.

The best musicians are channeling something, more than themselves. Something that even they don't understand. I don't know that it's even a religious thing. But it reaches into you, and pulls something deep within out. Something within yourself that you didn't even know was there. It startles you. Thanks for helping me experience that.

I have to reassess my entire life after watching this about 100 times. I think Justin might be the second coming.

Keep coming back here just to hear Justin's "WOOH!"

One of the best performances, not just by Justin and The Staves, but all music, that I've ever heard

I went to this show with my girlfriend as a casual fan of Bon Iver (1st album I thought was alright, Second album awesome). These days I get chills whenever I think back to this show. Holocene was amazing.

This is the most beautiful and tragic song I've ever heard.

As chills invaded my whole body I realized maybe I’ve been sleeping on this man for too long

Bon Iver may be the most creative and possibly best artist since the turn of the century. He's up there.

I'm like "Oh this is good! That's cool that they have the whole Opera House to themselves, I bet they are so comfortable so that's why they sound so good." *watches end where the place is packed full of people & realizes they are just amazing*

Seriously, why is this not viral? I am so moved every single listen and I'm on at least the 200th repeat.

Even if they repeat this performance it won't be THIS performance. Perfect

This legend is from my home. Wisconsin. He projects the kindness and goodness that humanity in it's finest accomplishes. Thank you, Justin Vernon, and all the fine musicians you surround yourself with, for giving me a "home". Exquisite

I had the honor of going to UWEC with him. We were both religious studies majors and it was a TINY program so we had tons of classes together. He carried a guitar around sometimes, but in college, who didn't? I knew he was a really deep guy from class discussions, but I had NO IDEA about his music. We were acquaintances at best-definitely not friends-but I'm blown away that we sat 20 feet away from each other all those hours and he kept this to himself.

I've loved this song for years (especially this version), but after losing my father to Covid a couple of months ago, it takes on a whole new level of emotion and meaning to me. Doubt I'll ever be able to listen to it again without crying, but I'm OK with that.

Some things are beautiful enough that you're glad to have been born to hear it.

Imagine if this wasn't recorded and only the people there had experienced this!!! That would have been a sin!

Me again! I can't stop replaying this. There's something about this that feels very old. I don't mean old fashioned, I mean like a perennial wisdom is very old. I guess it's the mix of acapella - which logically must be the oldest form of music making, - combined with the theme of loss of faith in the face of hurt and damage (which could evoke something as archetypal as the book of Job) all topped off with the pure raw emotion in his voice. You can instinctively feel that he believes and means this and that it is very personal to him. The fact that it is so moving to others suggests to me that he has tapped into one of the archetypes. In other words, truly elemental art.

So lucky to have witnessed this. I cried all through this song.
