Band of Horses

At the time of their live performance of "The Funeral" at Bonnaroo 2009, Band of Horses had just released their sophomore album, "Cease to Begin," which came out in 2007. This album really marked a significant moment for the band, showcasing their signature blend of atmospheric indie rock and heartfelt Americana. The live recording at Bonnaroo encapsulates the band at a pivotal time, as they were gaining traction in the indie music scene, following the modest success of their debut album, "Everything All the Time." It’s worth noting that "The Funeral" became one of their most iconic tracks, thanks in part to its emotional depth and captivating melodies, resonating powerfully with audiences. The Bonnaroo crowd’s energy in the performance reflects the band’s growing fanbase, as they were riding high on the critical acclaim that followed their second album.
