If you saw Grammy-winners Bon Iver on "Saturday Night Live" recently, you saw a band so big it even found a spot for a French horn.

On Feb. 16, Justin Vernon and Bon Iver's Sean Carey uploaded a 24-minute video on YouTube featuring just the two of them on vocals, and two pianos. The video was shot in October, 2011 in AIR studios in London.

Vernon and Carey perform pared-down versions of five songs from the new Bon Iver album, from the EP "Blood Bank," plus a cover of Bonne Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me."

Here's the song list:

1. Hinnom, TX
2. Wash.
3. I Can't Make You Love Me
4. Babys
5. Beth/Rest
