jezussss...this guys singing just ripped my soul out...just simply 5 min of pure magic music....well done!
Leaving out the obvious fact that he wasn't around for most of my life, I can't believe I've got to 62 and not heard this stuff! I found it by accident - it's the best accident I've ever had!
Andrew Taylor damn right :)
I took me 57 damn years, this sounds so much like Leonard Cohen one minute then Bruce Springsteen and then goddamned if it isn't just the pure genre shattering genius of Justin Vernon.
same heard it one week then by total chance were playing 10 miles away unreal
Never too late ❤️
Check out all his albums and check out volcano choir too. That's his other band. Unbelievable. He has become my favorite artist and im a working musician. Not saying this lightly. He's the man
there the best iv ever seen every single song is amazing work brilliance brilliant
Bon Iver Live Performances Are Life Changing
i like his lyrics, you cant really understand what its about without very carefully listening to it over and over, and then still it doesnt tell you what its really about, it relates to you specifically.
I think that some of the lyrics give it away. Sounds to me like it's about a past lover
I was only for to die beside
Great performance. And great soundwork, Xandy Whitesel! I'm glad you're listed in the credits. Nice work.
melhor vídeo do mundo
inlove with this version is there anywhere i can buy/download it somewhere
Anyone knows what guitar is he playing?
That harmonica is the best harmonica I've heard... Can't go listening to Bob Dylan after this he'll just ruin it haha
0:35 Donkey Kong water theme
Genius, just plain genius. So much skill, so much emotion, so much life. Justin Vernon is truly a revolutionary, one of a kind.
The first word that came to mind for me was "genius". I scrolled down and You beat me to it. Haha!
Here's to everyone who listenes to Bon Iver on the regular! Love you all!
Isaia Molina I see you.
Back at you!!
LOVED him for years and an will for eternity.

That harmonica is God-like. To be honest, I actually kind of prefer this version to the original. This is road trip music through and through. Half-hoping that he records this at some point. I also really have to point out how much I love that he sings the last line into his harmonica to make it sound like it's distorting and fading. God I love this man.
I actually feel like this is the definitive version of this song
YES! The voice-thru-harmonica ending was the most genius/splendid thing I've seen/heard in a minute
The most influential artist of the decade
You should listen to the Ghost of Tom Joad album of Bruce Springsteen, full of that kind of harmonica music.
Yamsmos very lovely words man God bless
Imagine the full Bon Iver album stripped like this!!!
This is one hell of performance! I love how he's always changing his way of playing those limited number of songs. It's been 8 years and I still could listen to every song forever, and that's because they're still in evolution.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I keep coming back to Bon Iver even if I'm feeling sad or happy: It's truly music at its best
Carola Puddu same
This version is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard
This guy makes me feel sadly happy.
Well said. Bravo.
Schaden freude I think? Some German phrase I don't remember
hehe Schadenfreude is when someone is getting hurt and you're laughing about that :D (Schaden = damage, freude = joy) I'm sorry but we germans neither have a word for this sadly happy feeling (although I'm longing for one)
Much love from South Africa
its incredible how many octaves he has in this song, so beautifully arranged!
This version of Calgary absolutely destroys me, wringing out my heart like a dishrag full of water.... I just cried at work. Such a range of emotions.....good God.
this is my religion.
Tyler James Blair and I said we are not gonna yet sorry for the long trip
Amen
this is the kind of music that stops everything around and brings you tears of...beauty. What a pearl, what a soul, what a musician. I'm happy we live on the same world.
Ingrida B. Gotta agree. There is genius in this mans art.
I love this guy's songwriting. It's just this super deconstructed imagery. It sounds exactly like a memory. Not too much detail. Just a vibe or presence. Half spoken words. All of it. Absolutely brilliant .
Wow!! the current Dylan/Bruce/Leonard---but better,truly!! I am in my 70's and have seen/heard them all.He is the real thing, and also Midwestern!!
bless you
Paul Kubic you should look up Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty. Check 'em out
I love you Paul, thank you for all you have said my guy 🤤❤️
its my favourite version of calgary😍
That harmonica though. ..
This is probably the only time I have heard that old DeYarmond Edison sound fused with the Bon Iver we are used to. I thought this version worked incredibly
As much as I love the album version (as well as some other live versions), this one blows all the others out of the water. I was absolutely floored the first time I heard/saw this. Given that it's Justin Vernon, I shouldn't be surprised by the quality of anything he touches, but DAMN. This is what perfect music and musicianship sounds like.
One of three songs that give me the feeling like I'm listening to it for the first time all over again every time I hear it. The original is great but this...this haunts me
Now, if Justin would finally just come to Calgary, that would be perfect.
afetbinttuzani They've been to Calgary. I saw them play Calgary in Calgary for the first time. It was magical.
What!?!?! When? :'-(
afetbinttuzani like 2011or 2012?
Absolutely in love with this version. He created a completely new song, which is equally as good as the original. I wish I had half as much vision as this man has.
Swollen orange light let through, your one piece swimmer stuck to you aaaaahhhhhhhh
He sang that part right when I read your comment. It was serendipitous.
@@mammontustado9680 i love when that kind of thing happens. Glad to contribute to a serendipitous moment.
Wow, Great Rendition! Particularly That "Swolen Orange and Light Let Through" is Fucking Brilliant !
"there's a fire going out"
That "swollen orange..." line is my favorite right along with the "Just have to keep a dialogue". So powerful!
Words fail to describe how amazing this is. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, i've got the chills from such a beautiful performance.
Listening to this before bed has become a bit of a ritual for me.
Excellent camera work, I'd have to say.
Justin's voice sounds like a sax.
Justin's voice is sex.
Voice sex is Justin's
Hes singing through his harmonica at some point
my heart is so full. thank you, bon iver.
the ending...
Incredible .
When I grow I wanna Bon Iver so much!! Just when I found the acoustic version of Calgary & deemed it the best version I find this harmonica blessed performance. Long Live Justin Vernon! Long live Bon Iver !!
I feel like i've contributed at least 300 views to this video.
Very similar to 'Song for a Lover of Long ago' I wonder if he had this in mind when re-creating this song.
2018?
As much as I like this version... I do miss the falsetto....
Oh my god!!! I love this so much! Thank you for sharing this!
The intro is the same as The Ghost of Tom Joad by Springsteen!
I heard the same thing. Every portion of the song that has the harmonica reminds me of The Ghost of Tom Joad.
That version of Tom Joad is amazing.
Justin Vernon.... you are one of the most wonderful, beautiful, musical souls on this planet. Your music takes many of us to different places. Forever grateful for you.
brought me to tears!!!!!! true GENIUS
Les 4 personnes qui n'aiment pas cette vidéo sont des putains de robots spammeurs !
Can somebody please tab this out!!
This version is so pleasant to my ears and fits my mood on point to the core right now. Real and crispy
this song will make you just watch and listen even though you know every lyric. truly a masterpiece. bon your the man.
Perfect. His best version by far.
This version of Calgary sounds a lot like Chris Rea - Looking For the Summer. It took me away to my childhood.
Going through a break up right now, with what was and is the best girl I've ever met. Days are weird and numb. Some better, some worse. This song has been on my head through the last days on loop. Can't say it's helping very much but at least gives me company through the hard times. Thank you Bon Iver ❤️
Sold, I'm ever. Open ears and open eyes wake up to your starboard bride. who goes in and then stays inside oh the demons come they can subside.

SOBBING THIS IS TOO BEAUTIFUL
please don't stop posting these live videos!
This version of Calgary is the best accident of the year. And that harmonica is just gold. Thanks!
Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen - I'm on fire, such an excellent version!
Mon dieu que c'est beau...que c'est pur. Big Love.
This is undeniably the definitive version of Calgary. MAN
speechless. just… speechless.
Does music get any better than this??
When he sings la dah dah dah does it not remind anyone of the rooster off of Robin Hood? Sounds pretty amazing?
One of the most genuin, genious and gorgeous preformances ever!
What I most like about justin is those little details (like the transition between his voice and the harmonica 5:37), which definitely achieve perfection and is present in every song this guy produce
im so fucking inlove with tht version much more than the original anyone knows where to buy/download it?
This song man. This song. I'm so angry the way this makes me feel but i fucking love it. I don't know.
That outro.......Blimey!
neil?
channeling DeYarmond Edison here
Wow. What a performance. Just wow.
My daughter’s favorite. So thankful they played it for her in Atlanta 2022!
Keep coming back to this one. Easily the best performance ever recorded 🙂🙏
Love all the live uploads from this! Keep them coming!
This makes me so happy to see Justin peform like this. Was sorely missed at Eaux Claires this year!
I'll never forget that night!
This was already an incredibly beautiful and emotional song but that harmonica just melts my heart. Combined with an acoustic guitar and his voice just brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for everything you give us, Justin.
Who hoo I'm from Calgary!
40 years forward, I'll be sitting with my grandchildren and telling them how this amazing classic track is timeless and I still enjoy it till this day, and watch the reactions on their faces when they discover this track and start listening to it with their friends and starting to be into "classic music"
Hahahaha.
Bon Waits
"You know that all that ropes untied, I was only for the die beside"
beauty in the eye of this beholder mwah xxx
No doubt one of the most amazing performance ever!!!!
Full of magic
Man that dude's got a voice.
(understatement of the year, thank you)
This is just beautiful.
This song made me start playing harmonica
So much better than the original, wish there was a studio version of this
I can't stop listening. Hauntingly beautiful.
Really enjoyed this. Gotta say, however, Calgary was always one of my favorite songs on the album because of its tribal-sounding toms and cymbal crashes. Can't help but feel that there was something missing in this. I guess there are certainly enough performances of the original version though.
I'm the exact same, it's lovely and all that but not the best version.
***** Duh, yeah, let's not analyse anything against anything else ever again! Miley Cyrus is JUST as good as Fleetwood. The Beatles side-bands had everything the Beatles had. St Anger would have been revelled if it was Metallica's first album. It's all the same!
Get out of here.
***** So wait, if you knew I was entitled to opinion and discussion, what made you talk such nonsense in the first place?
I think John Kelly is going a little too far by saying you can make a comparison between Fleetwood Mac and Miley Cyrus. That is a little bit of a "contextual clusterfuck" as you say. Comparing two versions of the same song performed by the same artist is very different. In my opinion, that's a valid comparison to make. That's not what kept me from enjoying it, though. What kept me from enjoying this was how boring it was. I felt like he was going for aesthetic more than a good performance. And it didn't help that it was a song I knew well and liked.
***** Discussion? You discussed fuck all, mate. You came in with a dodgy bit of rhetoric you read off a starbucks coaster.
Sold... I'm Ever..
nice I like ur voice
Thankful for this
Fucking love this version!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is incredible! I prefer it to the original because of the vulnerability and rawness, and the harmonica is a nice touch as well. WOW!
How am I only finding this nowwwwww WOWOWOW He never ceases to amaze me. Holy Justin Allmighty< 3
Tom Waits,Bruce Springsteen and Leonard Cohen all rolled into one.This guy is value for money
