The current Bon Iver tour is astonishing. All of us went up to Indianapolis last week to see the current live setup – 11 tremendous musicians that made me cry no less than twice and hug my companions at the tender moments (while clutching my 24oz Coors Light). Bon Iver plays two sold-out shows at the 9:30 Club in DC this week. Last night’s show was broadcast online, and it’s available for download and streaming here at the NPR site. Setlist!!!
