Bon Iver gave the single greatest set at this year’s inaugural Eaux Claires Festival, not least because it was their first show in nearly three years. Beyond the fact that it was a return, however, the performance was equal parts humbling and awe-inspiring for those in attendance, as Justin Vernon had to force back tears as he led his bandmates and friends through material old and new.
The set featured two new songs, giving fans hope that the band would soon be back, despite frontman Justin Vernon’s mixed signals on the subject. Guests rolled in and out throughout, from The Staves to Colin Stetson to the Dessner brothers, Aaron and Bryce. And now, you can relive the whole thing.
Redditors have come across a YouTube video of the entire performance, which you can now watch below. The setlist can be found underneath the clip, courtesy of uploader Paul Seal and Setlist.fm.
