In our third episode of Concert Taper Chronicles, we take a listen to Bon Iver live at Workplay Theatre, Birmingham Alabama on June 6, 2009. Captured from the audience on our personal gear, this show reflects the band touring to support their very first album, For Emma, Forever Ago. Small club with no more than 400 people, this is a beautiful audience recording.

We'll play three select tracks from the show that night, talk about the performance, the venue, the crowd, and what it was like taping the show firsthand. Along the way, we'll discuss what made this concert memorable and how these tapes connect us to the live music experience.

If you like what you hear, leave us a comment. We'd love to hear from you.
