Band of Horses returned to Chicago on Tuesday night. The sloppy southern fried rockers started the show by performing a couple songs on one of the side balconies. It was Ben and the newest back up singer in the rotation also playing guitar. It was pretty great. Then then got down to the main stage. Guitar and monitor trouble persisted. They powered through the best they could.
The most shocking thing about the whole night was when Ben lit up a cigarette and smoked during one of his songs. How weird is it that in today's climate, that is considered an act of rebellion?
As they add more songs to their repertoire they have to cut some others from the setlist. Sadly, I did not get my pick to click, Our Swords. But they did cover Cee Lo's GEORGIA. That was the final song in the encore. Here is the setlist:
