The Bon Iver performance at The Park in Glastonbury has gone down in my book as the most beautiful gig I’ve ever seen.

I don’t think anything can or will top it for me – what made it was the anticipation. I’ve had the Bon Iver album since it was released and listened to it an unhealthy amount of times so finally hearing it live pulled every string in my body.

MySpace Transmissions invited Justin and the band to record a few songs from For Emma, Forever Ago and the live rendition reveals how pure the sound is. It’s not a studio sound at all. Just pure emotion in every chord and keystroke.

If you ever get a chance to see Bon Iver – prepare to be amazed.

Here are three tracks from the session.
