So great. 'Austin to Boston' is where I found The Staves...

Austin to Boston. The Staves!!!! Love to all out there hearing this.

ill never forget being there for this moment.

wow...

Bruce Hornsby on the Piano....Amazing.

I’ve come back to this performance so so so many times. Such powerful and beautiful vocals that bloom. The Staves especially just blow my mind.

The Staves are incredibly beautiful

WTAF. This is too much. Beautiful.

This song will be… safe with me!

Good cover of my old friend Jackson Frank's song.

The first time I heard them was from the move "4th Man Out", I then checked them them out on KZbin and have been in love since.

I was there. It was gorgeous ❤

I have years listening to this song and I’ve never heard this with The Staves. I didn’t think song could get any better.

“today is Qumran” sounds so sweet

Wow

I get chills every time.

Whales from Space - very Smart ! Where has this beautiful Performance been filmed ??😊

I will never forget listening to this performance the night it was livestreamed, going for a walk and hearing 8 (circle) for the first time... one of the best songs of all time. Magical.

Gonna make me cry every time 😢

My goodness...That was heartbreakingly beautiful. It is pretty hard to get through the whole thing without shedding a few tears. The Staves add so many gorgeous layers to the original song.

89 is the best song Justin Vernon has ever written and I would die for an official release

Crazy to get a full video of the greatest performance of a song of all time

I was there. Nothing of my current life reflects what i had at this point in time. This was a magical time. I miss all my friends :(

I presume that when the guy at 1:35 crapped on this performance there was a portal straight to hell that opened beneath him. Still a performance for the ages. So much respect.

The Staves bring a magic to this song, which is beyond everything i ever heard of

This gives me chills every time. In the best of ways.

3:38 thats just a caress to the soul

i am really praying they play this when i see them this summer for the first time because this was my first death cab song and i need to be in a room of people singing it

What a day that was

1:07 song starts 3:38 The Staves This my excavation and today is Qumran Everything that happens is from now on This is pouring rain This is paralyzed I keep throwing it down two-hundred at a time It's hard to find it when you knew it When your money's gone And you're drunk as hell On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load Well I've been twisting to the sun and the moon I needed to replace The fountain in the front yard is rusted out All my love was down In a frozen ground There's a black crow sitting across from me His wiry legs are crossed He is dangling my keys, he even fakes a toss Whatever could it be That has brought me to this loss? On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away Your love will be Safe with me

I‘d gladly give My left kidney for a proper recording of this

JV's t-shirt- the ill-fated musical.😉

Seeds give me

fuck this is beautiful

Beautiful harmonies. Could someone please post the lyrics

i come back to this performance weekly, probably my favorite live performance by any artist of all time

why even go to a concert if you're just gonna talk the entire time

I nearly got takin by a croc last night, big 5mtr beast up here in North Australia, this song was playing in my head. Trippy

Thank you so much for this. Overwhelmed right now with memories of eaux claires and better times

Im crying wow fucking amazing and he has the girls doing it ...im done

I was there. It was awesome!

Long ass fucking time ago I was there and I sang like crazy with these dudes.

Wouldve been better without them, its about him and his transformation

I had leukaemia, and a charity called Above & Beyond gave me a chance to “make a wish”. As a huge Bon Iver fan, I asked to meet Justin, and wrote him a letter describing how his music had been important to me in my life. They managed to arrange a backstage pass so I could come meet him. I was really nervous beforehand, but the moment I walked in he gave me a big bear hug and said “you must be Tom”. We had a really deep chat, and afterwards I was sitting upstairs and he dedicated the last song to me. I’m so grateful to you for recording this special moment, I come back to it often.

I’m Tom!

This is what life is about. Absolutely stunning

Lindo demais 😍

his mic work is so good.

Only KG can rock out with a flute

Take me back.
