Bon Iver became Bon Dylan for one night at Justin Vernon's Eaux Claires Festival in Wisconsin, with Vernon leading an eleven-piece ensemble. ⁠ ⁠ The group included JT Bates, JP Brooks, Camaja Byrd, Sean Carey, Phil Cook, Ben Lester, Michael Lewis, Katira Lutterman, Courtland Pickens, John Pieter, and Jeremy Ylvisaker. They played a 16-song set spanning Bob Dylan's catalog from 1962 through 1997. ⁠ ⁠ Vernon has said the tribute traces back to Dylan passing through Eau Claire roughly a year earlier, a visit he credits with inspiring the festival's return after an eight-year hiatus. The set moved from stripped-down openers like "Not Dark Yet" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" into full-band arrangements of "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Meet Me in the Morning." Monica Martin joined for "Boots of Spanish Leather," and the ensemble swelled into full choral harmony for "New Morning."⁠ ⁠ __⁠ #pigeonsandplanes #boniver #justinvernon #bobdylan #wisconsin
