One of my favorite performances of all time

one of the best live performances i've ever heard

i applaud the audience for not uttering a single sound throughout the performance. People usually want a lively audience that reacts to every little thing, otherwise they say things like "why is the crowd so dead if i was there id be losing my shit" but goddamn thank you audience for staying silent, we now have perhaps the best performance of this song that humanity will ever have for eternity, so good and so raw and the recording so clean you can mistake it for a studio version.

i mean... no one can get over this beautiful tearing song. this is the most heartbraking and lovely thing ever.

Suckle on the hope in light brassieres My my my, my my my, my my Sullen load is full, so slow on the split And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And now all your love is wasted And then who the hell was I? And I'm breaking at the breaches And at the end of all your lines Who will love you? Who will fight? Who will fall far behind?

People often misunderstand good music as only being a nice sounding voice. The beauty of the song is how eloquently it was written in such a painful time of a man’s life. The paralell of those two things really strikes a rift in your heart and makes you feel how he felt. Also, the effort put into the instrumentals of the song, and how beautiful and strikingly hard those instrumentals are at different points in the song, is used perfectly to sway your emotions back and forth throughout - just like Justin’s use of head voice followed by a heavy, scratchy, guttural voice at the points where he is “confronting” his lover in the song. It really is a beautiful song and I wish people would apprecia the artistic aspects of music more than perfect vocals. Birdy’s version is beautiful, but no reason to say it is better than the original.

So happy there's an official version on KZread now! The best performance of the song he's ever given!

@deemasked

There was an official version for 6 years and it got taken down, luckily I saved it to my phone before then. Glad it’s back up.

Heard this for the first time ever last night and all I could do was keep my eyes glued to the tv and thought to myself “he meant every single damn word he sang” ❤❤❤

I always get chills, 13 years later, still, every time at 'who will (or in this verion "who's gonna") love you? who will fight?' God damn that is powerful.

I used to watch this clip all the time in lower quality. So glad the official footage is here!

Thank you BBC for uploading the HD. I’ve been watching the grainy version for years.

years ago, I listened to the birdie version of Skinny love, and I found out that there's someone called Bon Iver who has sung this song, I listened to his version and felt like Birdie did justice to the song. years later, today, its I am listening to his live version and I felt like what a fool I was back then. real artists are far less appreciated because the people don't have the quality to observe pure art. I won't say I have become a better judge, but the fact that I am able to appreciate artists like Justin Vernon makes me proud coz it tells me that I am on the right road and that I can appreciate what most people don't.

This should be in a museum, on a wall as a piece of art!

Ah yes one of the best live performances ever.

This song will always be there for you unlike the many lovers you'll meet in your life.

I never stop coming back to this performance. Over a decade old, and it still shines like gold. Thank you for the reupload.

My favorite performance, ever.

I come here most weekends

Finally a good quality version of this performance

This song rips a tear out of my dark heart everytime

There's just something about the crowd and all of the musicians just standing there in silence while he pours his soul out... It just gets to me 😂😭❤️

This song, I don't ever expect to know what he intended to express. This song has literally saved my life more than once. "Who will love you, who will fall far behind?"

its crazy how emotional artists can look and feel, i garunteee this gives him catharsis

I remember exactly where I was when I first saw this performance. Bought the album immediately. It still remains one of my favourite albums of all time. Beautiful.

Speechless

Been playing this for years. At this point in time it sums up my life. I hope I can look back, read this and be healed 💔

I’m glad he’s still passionate about his older stuff considering his music has changed so much. His first album has a spot in my heart.

will forever be my favourite version of my favourite song, the tears start and they just don't stop

The best performance of this song there ever will be.

Passion always wins

This will forever be the best thing i've heard

Bon Ivers first album For Emma Forever Ago was by far my favourite. The ebow, the imperfect tuning and the fragile voice just goes to my heart and touches my soul every time!

Idk why but I started crying the moment he started to sing

Best live performance ever.

This performance makes me cry every time

Man, I am speechless. There is so much emotion behind this life version. Goosebumps for days

Still one of my favourite live performances of any song. Spine tingling

So happy men with broken hearts write music! This is what we get
