Band of Horses

In February 2008, Band of Horses delivered a memorable live performance of "The Great Salt Lake" at the Academy 3 in Manchester, UK. This recording comes shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Cease to Begin," which dropped in October 2007. The album showcased their signature blend of dreamy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, capturing both the echoes of American folk and soaring rock. By this time, the band had gained significant traction, building a dedicated fanbase eager for their emotive sound. An interesting tidbit: the song itself, with its evocative imagery, highlights the band's knack for creating a deep emotional landscape, resonating well with the live audience. This performance encapsulated their rising influence in the indie rock scene, serving as a bridge between their early work and future explorations in sound.
