Band of Horses played to a sold out, intern-infested crowd at the Bowery Ballroom this past Friday. I was into the show from the first notes of the set opener, the excellent song "Monster". Even better when they played "First Song" in the #2 slot. Aside from a couple foul notes here and there, the band was spot on for the entire show. "Funeral" kicked major ass live....with the strikingly fierce vocal delivery of lead vocalist Ben Bidwell leading the crowd into a fury.
Highlights other than "Funeral" were "Our Swords", "Wicked Gil" (the uptempo album version, not the encore chilled out version"....yes, they played it twice), and "Weed Party". Mt. Egypt's singer came out during the set for a duet Hall and Oates' cover.


Oh yes, very nice pics, Ryan. I'm a linkin', I'm a linkin' (but where's the one I took of his boots? :) ).
