When they went out to support this album they ended up playing in an old movie theater outside PGH. What a great show.

I’ll always say, seeing a “big” band play a small venue is a special experience 😊

To this day I get a smile on my face and have the fondest memory of going to a tiny bar in SF w/one of my best friends (who passed a couple years later) to see Band of Horses. They were opening for Dinosaur Jr. saying BOH is a big band is a bit of an overstatement, but we loved them. When they played the place was mostly still empty and we watched their set from about 8 feet away. The song below is the one that stands out to me and can imagine it still today like it was yesterday 😊
