Is there a better gift on Valentines Day for your loved one -and yourself- than tickets to see Band of Horses? Probably not. Ben and company filled up the Brooklyn Masonic Temple with what seems as an ever increasing number of fans. This was my first time seeing a show at the temple. It's a decent size place for a show -not TOO big, with a 2nd floor full of seats. The best spot is definitely on the floor and it seemed as though the sound quality was the same in the back -if not better- than in the front. BOH started off the show strong, with "Is There a Ghost," "Islands on the Coasts," "The Great Salk Lake," "The First Song," and "Our Swords" in succession, thus setting an exciting vibe for the remainder of the show. Things got a little stale in the middle with mediocre covers and an anti-climatic version of "Funeral." Bu
t the encore was incredible, including awesome renditions of "Weed Song" and "No One's Gonna Love You." One of the highlights was the great "Cigarettes, Wedding Bands" which they didn't play during their last jaunt through NYC.
